1.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

−3−2−10123zshaded area to the left of z = 0.7357

Drag z so that the shaded area under the standard normal curve, to the left of z, is 0.7357. Find z to two decimals.

A = 0.7357
z =
3.Medium
340 kg304 kgT = X₁ + … + X₄?

The masses of passengers with luggage are independent and normal with mean 85 kg and standard deviation 12 kg. Find the probability P that the total mass of 4 of them exceeds 304 kg. Round z to two decimals.

μ = 85 kgσ = 12 kgn = 4> 304 kg
P =
4.Medium
−3−2−10123zshaded area between −z and z = 0.3899

Drag z so that the shaded area between −z and z under the standard normal curve is 0.3899. Find z to two decimals.

A = 0.3899
z =

35455565758595pointsbottom 30%

The exam scores are normally distributed with mean 65 points and standard deviation 10 points. Drag the cut-off so the shaded bottom 30% is to the left of it. Find the cut-off x.

μ = 65 pointsσ = 10 points30%
x = points
6.Hard
μ = 65x = ?10%

The exam scores are normally distributed with mean 65 points and standard deviation 10 points. Find the value x below which 10% of them lie (the 10th percentile).

μ = 65σ = 10P = 10%
x = points
