Normal Distribution

I. MULTIPLE CHOICE: Read each item carefully, and select the correct answer.
Write the letter of your choice in a separate sheet of paper.

1. What is a random variable where the data can take infinitely many values?
A. Continuous random variable B. Discrete random variable
C. Both discrete & continuous D. None of these choices

2. Which of following shows a graphical form of the probability distribution for

a continuous random variable?
A. Bell shape B. Box shape
C. Rectangular shape D. Circular shape

3. What is the total area under the normal curve?

A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 6

4. Which term defines that the normal curve gets closer and closer to the
horizontal axis but never touches it?
A. Asymptotic B. Asymmetrical
C. Parabolic D. Symmetrical

5. A machine produces electrical components. 99.7% of the components have

lengths between 1.176 cm and 1.224 cm. Assuming this data is normally
distributed, what is the mean and the standard deviation?
A. 1.190 cm, 0.001 cm B. 1.200 cm, 0.008 cm
C. 1.211 cm, 0.019 cm D. 1.219 cm, 0.123 cm

II. PROBLEM SOLVING: Answer the given questions correctly. Show your
COMPLETE SOLUTION/GRAPH. Write the letter of your answer in a separate
sheet of paper.

1. Find the area that corresponds to z-value, z = - 0.91.

2. Find the area that corresponds to z-value, z = 1.25.
3. Find the area under the standard normal curve to the right of z = - 2.67.
4. Find the standard normal distribution, what is the area between z = - 0.94
and z = 0.94.
5. A company makes parts for a machine. The lengths of the parts must be
within a certain limit or they will be rejected. A large number of parts were
measured and the mean and the standard deviation were calculated as 3.1m
and 0.005m, respectively. What are the limits if 99.7% of the parts were
accepted?
