1.Easy
200 mmσ = ?X + Y

X and Y are independent normal variables for the length of part A plus part B in an assembly: X has mean 120 mm and standard deviation 0.3 mm, Y has mean 80 mm and standard deviation 0.4 mm. Find the standard deviation σ of X + Y.

μX = 120 mm, σX = 0.3 mmμY = 80 mm, σY = 0.4 mm
σ = mm
2.Easy
μ = 10088.75P = ?

The IQ scores are normally distributed with mean 100 points and standard deviation 15 points. What fraction is above 88.75 points? Find P(X > x) as a decimal.

μ = 100σ = 15x = 88.75
P(X > x) =

−3−2−10123zshaded area to the right of z = 0.0951

Drag z so that the shaded area under the standard normal curve, to the right of z, is 0.0951. Find z to two decimals.

A = 0.0951
z =
4.Medium
22.442.8P = ?

The delivery times are normally distributed with mean 32 min and standard deviation 6 min. What fraction lies between 22.4 and 42.8 min? Give P as a decimal.

μ = 32σ = 6x1 = 22.4x2 = 42.8
P =

The IQ scores are normally distributed with mean 100 points and standard deviation 15 points. Drag the cut-off so the shaded top 20% is to the right of it. Find the cut-off x.

μ = 100 pointsσ = 15 points20%
x = points
6.Hard
10 cm0X − Y?

The heights X of men and Y of women in a group are independent and normal: X has mean 180 cm and standard deviation 10 cm, Y has mean 170 cm and standard deviation 12 cm. Find the probability P that X is greater than Y. Round z to two decimals.

μX = 180 cm, σX = 10 cmμY = 170 cm, σY = 12 cm
P =
