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 = 0.2296

Drag z so that the shaded area under the standard normal curve, to the left of z, is 0.2296. Find z to two decimals.

A = 0.2296
z =
3.Medium
105 s108.2 sX + Y?

X is normal with mean 60 s and standard deviation 5 s; Y is independent and normal with mean 45 s and standard deviation 4 s. Find the probability P that X + Y is more than 108.2 s. Round z to two decimals.

μX = 60, σX = 5μY = 45, σY = 4X + Y > 108.2 s
P =
4.Medium
26.337.1P = ?

The delivery times are normally distributed with mean 32 min and standard deviation 6 min. What fraction lies between 26.3 and 37.1 min? Give P as a decimal.

μ = 32σ = 6x1 = 26.3x2 = 37.1
P =
5.Hard
μ = 100x = ?25%

The IQ scores are normally distributed with mean 100 points and standard deviation 15 points. Find the value x below which 25% of them lie (the 25th percentile).

μ = 100σ = 15P = 25%
x = points
6.Hard

The battery lifetimes are normally distributed with mean 500 h and standard deviation 40 h. Drag the cut-off so the shaded bottom 60% is to the left of it. Find the cut-off x.

μ = 500 hσ = 40 h60%
x = h
