1.Easy
−8 minσ = ?X − Y

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.

μX = 12 min, σX = 1.5 minμY = 20 min, σY = 2 min
σ = min
2.Easy
40 mmσ = ?X − Y

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.

μX = 120 mm, σX = 0.3 mmμY = 80 mm, σY = 0.4 mm
σ = mm

178185.35P = ?

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.

μ = 178σ = 7x1 = 178x2 = 185.35
P =

−3−2−10123zshaded area to the right of z = 0.9429

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.

A = 0.9429

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.

μ = 178 cmσ = 7 cm5%
x = cm
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
