Tutorial Normal Distribution

1. A random variable Z has mean, µ=_______ and standard deviation, σ=___________

2. P(0≤z≤1.53)

3. P(z>-2.18)

4. Find the value of z 0 where P(- z 0≤ z ≤ z 0 )= 0.92

5. Find the value of z 0 where P(z ≤ z 0 )= 0.35

6. A random variable X is normally distributed with mean 80 and standard deviation 12.
Calculate the probability
a) if X is chosen at random it is between 65 and 95.
b) if X is chosen at random is less than 74.
c) if X is chosen at random is more than 86.

7. The estimated total time to complete the statistical task was normally distributed with a
mean of 45 minutes and a standard deviation of 7 minutes.
a) What percentage of students took more than 55 minutes to complete the statistics
assignment?
b) What percentage of students completed the statistics assignment between 40 minutes
and 50 minutes?
c) What is the probability that a student completes a statistics assignment in less than 20
minutes?

8. A test was constructed to measure the level of motivation of students in high school. The
motivation score is normally distributed with a mean of 25 and a standard deviation of 6.
A high score indicates a good level of motivation.
a) What is the probability that a student who takes this test has a score less than 10?
b) Ahmad was told that 35% of the students who took this test had a high level of
motivation from it. What is Ahmad's test score?
