Suppose X ~ N(19, 3). Between what x values does 68.27% of the data lie? The range of x values is centered at the mean of the distribution (i.e., 19).
The sample mean is x ~ 93.3. Let x be a random variable representing glucose readings taken from Gentle Ben. We may assume that x has a normal distribution, and we know from past experience that o = 12.5. The mean glucose level for horses should be M = 85 mg/100 ml.+ Do these data indicate that Gentle Ben has an overall average glucose level higher than 85? Use a = 0.05.
Suppose that an accounting firm does a study to determine the time needed to complete one person's tax forms. It randomly surveys 200 people. The sample mean is 22.3 hours. There is a known population standard deviation of 7.0 hours. The population distribution is assumed to be normal. Which distribution should you use for this problem?

The mean serum cholesterol level of a large population of overwieght children is 220 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl), and the standard deviation is 16.3 mg/dl. If a random sample of 35 overwieght children is selected, find the probability that the mean will be between 220 and 222 mg/dl. Assume the serume cholesterol level variable is normolly distributed. Explain?
Jerome averages 16 points a game with a standard deviation of four points. X ~ N(16,4). Suppose Jerome scores ten points in a game. The z-score when x = 10 is –1.5. This score tells you that x = 10 is standard deviations to the _(right or left) of the mean _(What is the mean?).
