X is normal with mean 12 min and standard deviation 1.5 min; Y is independent and normal with mean 20 min and standard deviation 2 min. Find the standard deviation σ of the difference X − Y.
Normal distribution worksheet with answers
X is normal with mean 120 mm and standard deviation 0.3 mm; Y is independent and normal with mean 80 mm and standard deviation 0.4 mm. Find the standard deviation σ of the difference X − Y.
The heights of adult men are normally distributed with mean 178 cm and standard deviation 7 cm. What fraction lies between 178 and 185.35 cm? Give P as a decimal.
Drag z so that the shaded area under the standard normal curve, to the right of z, is 0.9429. Find z to two decimals.
The heights of adult men are normally distributed with mean 178 cm and standard deviation 7 cm. Drag the cut-off so the shaded bottom 5% is to the left of it. Find the cut-off x.
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.
