The score on a standardized test for a certain year is modeled using the normal distribution shown below. The mean of the distribution is 72.4 points and the standard deviation is 5.5 points. In the figure, V is a number along the axis and is under the highest part of the curve. And, U and W are numbers along the axis that are each the same distance away from V. Use the empirical rule to choose the best value for the percentage of the area under the curve that is shaded, and find the values of U, V, and W.

The scores on a standardized test are normally distributed with a mean of 120 and standard deviation of 20. What test score is 0.9 standard deviations above the mean?
From generation to generation, the average age when smokers first start to smoke varies. However, the standard deviation of that age remains constant at around 2.1 years. A survey of 40 smokers of this generation was done to see if the average starting age is at least 19. The sample average was 18.1 with a sample standard deviation of 1.3. Do the data support the claim at the 5% level?State the distribution to use for the test. What is the test statistic? Sketch a picture of this situation. Label and scale the horizontal axis and shade the region(s) corresponding to the p-value.
