1.Easy
32 minσ = ?X + Y

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.

μX = 12 min, σX = 1.5 minμY = 20 min, σY = 2 min
σ = min
2.Easy
−3−2−10123zshaded area to the left of z = 0.0951

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

A = 0.0951
z =
3.Medium
32 min35.1 minX + 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 probability P that X + Y is more than 35.1 min. Round z to two decimals.

μX = 12, σX = 1.5μY = 20, σY = 2X + Y > 35.1 min
P =
4.Medium
242.5259.25P = ?

The bag weights are normally distributed with mean 250 g and standard deviation 5 g. What fraction lies between 242.5 and 259.25 g? Give P as a decimal.

μ = 250σ = 5x1 = 242.5x2 = 259.25
P =
5.Hard
μ = 250x = ?90%

The bag weights are normally distributed with mean 250 g and standard deviation 5 g. Find the value x below which 90% of them lie (the 90th percentile).

μ = 250σ = 5P = 90%
x = g
6.Hard
μ = 32x = ?5%

The delivery times are normally distributed with mean 32 min and standard deviation 6 min. Find the value x below which 5% of them lie (the 5th percentile).

μ = 32σ = 6P = 5%
x = min

  1. 1. σ = 2.5 min
  2. 2. z = −1.31
  3. 3. P = 0.1075
  4. 4. P = 0.901
  5. 5. x = 256.4 g
  6. 6. x = 22.13 min
