Try to solve all the questions below:

1. Consider a standard normal random variable with 𝜇 = 0 and standard deviation 𝜎 = 1.
Use Standard Normal Distributions table (Z table) to find the following probabilities:
a) 𝑃(𝑧 > 1.16).
b) 𝑃(−2.33 < 𝑧 < 2.33).
c) 𝑃(𝑧 < 1.88).
d) 𝑃(𝑧 < −10)
e) 𝑃(𝑧 > 10)
2. Find the 99th percentile for the standard normal random variable z!
3. A normal random variable 𝑥 has mean 𝜇 = 10, and standard deviation 𝜎 = 2. Find the
probability of (9.4 < 𝑥 < 10.6)!
4. A normal random variable 𝑥 has an unknown mean 𝜇 and standard deviation 𝜎 = 2. If
the probability that 𝑥 exceeds 7.5 is 0.8023, find 𝜇!.
5. A normal random variable 𝑥 has mean 35 and standard deviation 10. Find a value
of 𝑥 that has area 0.01 to its right. This is the 99th percentile of this normal distribution.
6. A normal random variable 𝑥 has an unknown mean and standard deviation. The
probability that 𝑥 exceeds 4 is 0.9772, and the probability that 𝑥 exceeds 5 is 0.9332.
Find 𝜇 and 𝜎!
7. Human heights are one of many biological random variables that can be modelled by
the normal distribution. Assume that the heights of American men have a mean of 69.5
inches and a standard deviation of 3.5 inches.
a) What is the probability that a randomly selected man will be between 69.6 inches
and 73.2 inches tall?
b) President Barack Obama is 73.2 inches tall. Is this an unusual height?
8. The number of times 𝑥 an adult human breathes per minute when at rest has a
probability distribution that is approximately normal, with the mean equal to 16 and the
standard deviation equal to 4. If a person is selected at random and the number 𝑥 of
breaths per minute while at rest is recorded, what is the probability that 𝑥 will exceed
22?
9. Let x be a binomial random variable with 𝑛 = 25 and 𝑝 = 0.3.
a) Is the normal approximation appropriate for this binomial random variable?
b) Find the mean and standard deviation for 𝑥.
c) Use the normal approximation to find 𝑃(6 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 9).
10. Airlines and hotels often grant reservations in excess of capacity to minimize losses due
to no-shows. Suppose the records of a hotel show that, on the average, 10% of their
prospective guests will not claim their reservation. If the hotel accepts 215 reservations
and there are only 200 rooms in the hotel, what is the probability that all guests who
arrive to claim a room will receive one?
