Normal Distribution

1. Given that mean of a normal variate X is 30 and standard deviation is 6, then find:
(i) Find the z -score of data point 48
(ii) Find the z -score of data point 30
(iii) Find the z -score of data point 24
(iv) Data point if its z -score is 2
(v) Data point if its z -score is -2
2. The average daily sale of 550 branch offices was Rs.150 thousand and standard
deviation is Rs. 15 thousand. Assuming the distribution to be normal, indicate how
many branches have sales between
(i) Rs. 1,25,000 and Rs.1,45,000
(ii) Rs. 1,40,000 and Rs. 1,60,000
Given [F(-1.67)=0.0475, F(-0.33=0.3707), F(0.67)=0.7486]
Ans: 0.3232,178; 0.4972,273
3. Assume the mean height of children to be 69.25 cm with a variance of 10.8 cm. How
many children in a school of 1,200 would you expect to be over 74 cm tall?
Given [F(1.44)=0.9251]
Ans: 0.0749, 90
4. 900 light bulbs with a mean life of 125 days are installed in a new factory. Their length
of life is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 18 days. What is the expected
number of bulbs expire in less than 95 days.
Given [P(0<Z<1.67)=0.4525]
Ans: 0.0475, 43
5. A sample of 125 dry battery cells tested to find the length of life produced the following
results with mean 12 and SD 3 hours. Assuming that the data to be normal distributed,
what percentage of battery cells are expected to have life
(i) More than 13 hours
(ii) Less than 5 hours
(iii) Between 9 and 14 hours
Given[P(0<Z<0.33)=0.1293, P(0<Z<2.33)=0.4901, P(0<Z<0.67)=0.2486, P(0<Z<1)=0.3413]
Ans: 0.3707, 46.34%; 0.0099, 1.23%; 0.5899, 73.73%
