1. A distribution of values is normal with a mean of 1493.5 and a standard deviation of 45.7

Find the probability that a randomly selected value is less than 1528.7

P (X < 1528.7) = _________________

*Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places. * Note all z-scores must be rounded to the nearest hundredth*

6. Statista reported in 2014 that the mean number of Facebook friend for 18 to 24-year old’s was 649. Assuming the distribution is normal with mean 649 friends and standard deviation 120 friends, what is the probability that a randomly selected 18 to 24-year-old will have between 435 and 985 friends?

P (435< X < 985) = _______________

*Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places. *Note: all z-scores must be rounded to the nearest hundredth*

7. Suppose that a brand of lightbulb lasts on average 2628 hours with a standard deviation of 138 hours. Assume the life of the lightbulb is normally distributed. Calculate the probability that a particular bulb will last from 2191 to 3064 hours?

P (2191< X <3064) = _____________

9. Assume that the readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0 degree Celsius and a standard deviation of 1.00 degree Celsius.

A single thermometer is randomly selected and tested. Let X represent the reading of this thermometer at freezing. What reading separates the highest 33.36% from the rest? 

c= ______ degree Celsius

Hint
Statistics Mean in statistics, is the total of all numbers in a distribution divided by the numbers provided. In simple terms, it is the sum divided by the count. Standard deviation is a measure of the spread of the provided data about the mean value. It also tells how far each value is from the mean....
