Exercise 3
A famous rock group decides to distribute their latest album through the
Internet, and they only ask for a free donation for downloading it. The
average amount (in Euros) of the donations is equal to €1.10, with variance
equal to €2 0.04.
a) Suppose that you extract a donation at random from all donations, and
assume that the value of the donation extracted can be considered to be a
normal random variable. What is the probability that the value extracted is
greater than €1?
b) Under the same assumption, what is the value that has 0.9 probability of
being exceeded by the extracted value?
Answers:
a)
b)
Exercise 4
Answers:
( 4−3.4
)
a) Supplier 1: P ( X < 4 )=P Z < 0.3 =F ( 2 )=0.9772
( 4−3.2
)
Supplier 2: P ( X < 4 )=P Z < 0.5 =F ( 1.6 ) =0.9452
Exercise 5
( 7−15 16−15
)
a) P ( 7 ≤ X ≥ 16 ) =P 4 ≤ Z ≥ 4 =P (−2≤ Z ≥ 0,25 )=P ( Z ≤ 0,25 )−( 1−P ( Z ≤ 2 ) ) =
0.5987 – (1- 0.9772) = 0.5759
( 12−15
)
b) P ( X >12 )=P Z > 4 =P ( Z >−0.75 ) =P ( Z <0.75 )=0.7734
Exercise 6
Assuming that the grade scores for an exam follow a Normal distribution
with mean 83 and standard deviation 5.
a) If the cut-off for passing is at least 90, what is the probability that a
student passes the exam?
b) Considering 340 students, how many are expected to take a grade score
of 90 at most?
