(1032)( 89145) – (1029)( 89337) 12( 89337) – (1029)(1032)

a =
12 ( 89 145 )−(1029)2
b= 12 ( 89 145 ) −(1029)2

(91 997 640) – ( 91927 773) (1 072 044 ) – (1 061928)

= ( 1 069 740 )−(1 058 841)
= (1 069 740 )−(1 058 841)
69 867 10 716
= 10 899 = 10 899

= 6.410405 = 0.92859

Therefore, the regression line is ŷ = 6.410405 + 0.92859

B. If a student gets a Preliminary grade of 90, what is the final grade?

= 6.410 + 0.9281 (90)

= 6.410 + 83.52
= 89.93

4. Assume z is a normal random variable with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.

a. Find P (-1.01 < z < 0)

Therefore, the answer is = 0.3438

b. Find P (z ≤ 0)

Therefore, the answer is = 0.0000

c. Find P (0.66 < z < 1.22)

Therefore, the answer is = 0.6342

 5. Assume that the GPA of college students in Luzon is approximately normally
distributed. The average GPA is 2.455 with a standard deviation of 0.66. Find
the percentage of students who obtained a GPA below 1.25.

Therefore, the answer is 0.4656

This means that 46.56% of students who obtained GPA of below 1.25
 6. Suppose a random variable is normally distributed. The probabilities for a85
and 142 are 10% and 65%, respectively. Find the mean and standard deviation to
the nearest whole number.
P (X<85) = 10%
P (X>142) = 65%

P (z<a) = 10% = -1.28 P (z>b) =65%

P (z<b) = 35% = 0.38

P (z<-1.280 =10%
P (z>0.38) =65%

7. Snakes shed their skin to enable growth. If the time it takes for a snake to shed
its skin is normally distributed with mean of 8 days and standard deviation of 2
days, what is the probability that a snake will shed its skin after 7 days?

Therefore, the answer is = 0.3085

This means that a snake shed its skin after 7 days is 0.3085

8. Assume that the time a student stays in school is normally distributed with a
mean of 5 hours and a standard deviation of 0.5 hours. Every day, Ian stays in
school for 5.5 hours. What proportion of students stays less than 5.5 hours?

= 0.1587 or 15.87%

Therefore, the answer is = 0.1587

This means that the proportion of students stays less than 5.5 hours is
15.87%
9. Scores of an achievement test show that if follows a normal
distribution. Its mean is 78 with a standard deviation of 8. Find the
interval wherein the middle 80% of the scores lie?

10. Assume that family incomes are normally distributed with mean
P30,000 and standard deviation of P10,000. If the poverty level is
P10,000, find the percentage of the population that lies in poverty.

Therefore, the answer is = 0.0288

This means that the percentage of the population that lies in poverty is
2.28%
