X and Y are independent normal variables for the mass of a filled jar: jar plus contents: X has mean 250 g and standard deviation 4 g, Y has mean 500 g and standard deviation 9 g. Find the standard deviation σ of X + Y.
Normal distribution worksheet with answers
X and Y are independent normal variables for the time for two consecutive process steps: X has mean 12 min and standard deviation 1.5 min, Y has mean 20 min and standard deviation 2 min. Find the standard deviation σ of X + Y.
Drag z so that the shaded area under the standard normal curve, to the right of z, is 0.8461. Find z to two decimals.
The bag weights are normally distributed with mean 250 g and standard deviation 5 g. What fraction lies between 245 and 254 g? Give P as a decimal.
The bag weights are normally distributed with mean 250 g and standard deviation 5 g. Drag the cut-off so the shaded bottom 25% is to the left of it. Find the cut-off x.
Hole diameters D are normal with mean 25.05 mm and standard deviation 0.015 mm. Shaft diameters d are independent and normal with mean 25 mm and standard deviation 0.015 mm. A randomly chosen shaft fits when D − d > 0. Find the probability P that it fits. Round z to two decimals.
Answer key
- 1. σ = 9.849 g
- 2. σ = 2.5 min
- 3. z = −1.02
- 4. P = 0.6295
- 5. x = 246.7 g
- 6. P = 0.9909
