Q1. ASSUME THE MEAN HEIGHT OF SOLDIERS TO BE 68.22 INCHES WITH A VARIANCE OF 10.8
INCHES SQ.
HOW MANY SOLIDERS IN A REGIMENT OF 100 SOL HAS HEIGHT
A) OVER 6 FEET.

ANS: VARIANCE= 10.8

STANDARD DEVIATION = UNDERR ROOT OF 10.8
SD= 3.28 , X=72 , MEAN=68.22
CALCULATON OF X
OVER 6 FEET
1 FEET- 12 INCHES
6 FEET- 72 INCHES

Z= (X- MEAN)/ SD=(72-68.22)/3.28=1.15

Z TABLE => 0 TO 1.15=0.3749

PROB OVER 6 FEET= 0.5-0.3749=0.1251

B) BELOW 5.5 FEET

1 FEET= 12 INCHES
5.5 FEET= 5.5*12=66 INCHES

Z= (X-MEAN)/ SD= (66-68.22)/3.28=0.675

Z VALUE SEE COLUMN 0.6 TO ROW 0.07= 0.2486
PROB BELOW 5.5 FEET= 0.5-0.2468=0.2514
Q2. THE HEIGHT OF AN ADULT MALE IS KNOWN TO BE NORMALLY DISTRIBUTED WITH A MEAN
OF 69 INCHES AND A STANDARD DEVIATION OF 2.5 INCHES
WHAT SHOULD BE THE HEIGHT OF THE DOORWAY SUCH THAT 96% OF THE ADULT MALES CAN
PASS THROUGH IT WITHOUTH HAVING TO BEND?

ANS2.
GIVEN :
MEAN= 69 INCHES
STANDARD DEVIATION= 2.5 INCHES

AREA – 96%= 0.96

REMAINING= 4%= 0.04

RIGHT SIDE AREA = 0.5

T AREA= RIGHT SIDE AREA- REMAINING AREA=(0.5-0.04) >>> GREEN SHADED AREA
=0.46
0.4599 (NEAREST VALUE) 0.4608
1.75 THAT IS NOTHIMG BUT VALUE OF Z
Z= (X- MEAN)/SD
1.75=(X-69)/2.5
1.75*2.5=X-69
4.375=X-69
X=40375+69=73.375INCHES

Q3.Marks on a Chemistry test follow a normal distribution with a mean of 65 and a standard
deviation of 12. Approximately what percentage of the students have scores below 50

ANS.3-
Given- mean= 65
Sd=12
Below 50=?
Z= (x-µ)/sd
=1.25
Z value (0 to 1.25)=0.3944
Prob = 0.5-0.3944=0.1056
 Q4) A project yields an average cash-flow of Rs. 500 lakhs with a standard deviation of Rs. 60
lakhs.
Assuming Normal distribution calculate the following probabilities :
 i). Cash-flow will be more than Rs. 560 lakhs. [ As: 0.1587]

 ii).Cash-flow will be less than Rs. 420 Lakhs. [Ans: 0.0918]

 iii). Cash-flow will be between Rs. 460 Lakhs and Rs. 540 Lakhs. [Ans: 0.4572]
 Iv )Cash-flow will be less than Rs. 680 Lakhs. [Ans: 0.0013]
