STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY

ACTIVITY 1
SUBMISSION DATE: JANUARY 19, 2018

DIRECTION: In a long bond paper with half inch margin, answer the following.
1. For each z-score below, find the area between the mean and the z-score:
a) z = 1.17
b) z = – 1.37

2. Calculate the following probabilities

(a) P(z ≥ 1)
(b) P(z ≤ -1.54)
(c) P(-1.2 ≤ z ≤ 2.35)
(d) P(z ≤ -2.04) and P(z ≥ 1.27)
(e) P(z ≥ -0.95)
(f) P(-2.34 ≤ z ≤ -0.62)

3. A patient recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease takes a cognitive abilities test and scores a 45. The mean on this test
is 52 and the standard deviation is 5. What is the patient’s percentile?

4. A fifth grader takes a standardized achievement test (mean = 125, standard deviation = 15) and scores a 148. What is the
child’s percentile?

5. Pat and Chris both took a spatial abilities test (mean = 80, std. dev. = 8). Pat scores a 76 and Chris scored a 94. What
proportion of individuals would score between Pat and Chris?

6. The Welcher Adult Intelligence Test Scale is composed of a number of subtests. On one subtest, the raw scores have a
mean of 35 and a standard deviation of 6. Assuming these raw scores form a normal distribution:
a) What proportion of raw scores are between 28 and 38?

b) What proportion of raw scores are between 41 and 44?

c) What number represents the 65th percentile (what number separates the lower 65% of the distribution)?

d) What number represents the 90th percentile?

7. Scores on the SAT form a normal distribution with 500 mean 100 standard deviation.

a) What is the minimum score necessary to be in the top 15% of the SAT distribution?

b) Find the range of values that defines the middle 80% of the distribution of SAT scores.

8. For a normal distribution, find the z-score that separates the distribution as follows:
a) Separate the highest 30% from the rest of the distribution.

b) Separate the lowest 40% from the rest of the distribution.

c) Separate the highest 75% from the rest of the distribution.

9. The mean weight of 500 male students at a certain college is 151 lb and the standard deviation is 15 lb. Assuming that the
weights are normally distributed, find how many students weigh (a) between 120 and 155 lb, (b) more than 185 lb.
 10. The mean inside diameter of a sample of 200 washers produced by a machine is 0.502 inches and the standard deviation is
0.005 inches. The purpose for which these washers are intended allows a maximum tolerance in the diameter of 0.496 to
0.508 inches, otherwise the washers are considered defective. Determine the percentage of defective washers produced by
the machine, assuming the diameters are normally distributed.
11. The mean income per household in a certain country is £ 8 000 with a standard deviation of £ 1 200. Ten percent of the
household incomes are below what value? The middle 95 % of the incomes are between what two values? What is the
probability that a random selected income is between £ 7 500 and £ 9 000?
12. A coffee machine can be adjusted to deliver any fixed number of ounces of coffee. If the machine has a standard deviation
in delivery equal to 0.4 ounce, what should be the mean setting so that an 8-ounce cup will overflow only 0.5 % of the
time?
13. A transport firm determines that its fleet of lorries averages a mean of 12,4 miles per gallon with a standard deviation of 1,2
mpg on cross-country hauls. What is the probability that one of the lorries averages more than 13 mpg? fewer than 10 mpg
?
14. If 75 % of all families spend more than £ 75 weekly for food, while 15 % spend more than £ 150. what is the mean weekly
spending and what is the standard deviation?
