PROBLEM SET 3

A. Find the area under the normal curve:

1. between z = 0 and z = 1.73

2. between z = 2.0 and z = 0
3. between z = -0.85 and z = 1.21
4. between z = 0.51 and z = 1.94
5. to the right of z = -1.25

B. Determine the value of z:

1. area between 0 and z is .3413.

2. area to the left of z = .8621.
3. area between z = -1.5 and z = .0217.
Case 1: -1.5 is to the left z.
Case 2: -1.5 is to the right of z.

C. Applications:

1. What percentage of the burning tires will exceed 5.25 second if = 5.12
and sd = .06?
2. What percentage of the employees are 35 years older if = 41 and sd =
8?
3. Of the 50 students with a mean of 50, sd = 8, how many students received
the following scores:
3.1 64 or less
3.2 70 or more
3.3 between 58 and 40?
4. Given = 4.62 in. and sd = .23 in
4.1 What percentage of all these tubes are longer than 5 in.?
4.2 What percentage of the tubes are between 4.35 in. and 4.85 in. long?

5. There are 100 students in a certain college. The grades given are A, B, C,
D, and E. If normally distributed, how many students received each grade?
