A large group of students took a test in Physics and the final grades have a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 10. The passing score is 60. The distribution is approximately normal. Using the 68-95-99.7 (empirical) rule, find the percentage of the students(a) scored between 60 and 80.(b) scored between 50 and 90.(c) higher than 80. (d) should pass the test.
Females have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of 74 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 12.5 beats per minute. If 16 adult female are randomly selected, find the probability that their pulse rates are less than 70 beats per minute. Express your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.
Times for a procedure are normally distributed. There are 2 methods. Method A has a mean of 25 minutes and a standard deviation of 8 minutes. Method B has a mean of 29 minutes and a standard deviation of 4 minutes. Which procedure is preferred if it must be completed within 33 minutes?
Assume that weights of adult females are normally distributed with a mean of 79 kg and a standard deviation of 20 kg. What percentage of individual adult females have weights between 73 kg and 85 kg? If samples of 64 adult females are randomly selected and the mean weight is computed for each sample, what percentage of the sample means are between 73 kg and 85 kg? The percentage of individual adult females with weights between 73 kg and 85 kg is 23.6 % (Round to one decimal place as needed.) The percentage of samples of 64 adult females with mean weights between 73 kg and 85 kg is (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
The masses of 250 students are normally distributed with mean 65kg and standard deviation 4kg. Then how many students have masses between 63kg and 73kg.
The life of light bulbs is distributed normally. the standard deviation of the lifetime is 29 hours and the mean lifetime of a bulb is 590. Find the probability of a bulb lasting for at most 608 hours (round your answer to four decimal places)
Suppose the masses of a batch of 2000 potatoes have a mean of 60 grams with a standard deviation of 8 grams. Assuming the weights have a normal distribution, predict the number of potatoes that would have masses between 45 and 55 grams. Sketch the distribution curve, shade the required probability, and show horizontal scales the population parameters and the z-scores. Solve the problem
