X and Y are independent normal variables for the length of part A plus part B in an assembly: X has mean 120 mm and standard deviation 0.3 mm, Y has mean 80 mm and standard deviation 0.4 mm. Find the standard deviation σ of X + Y.
Normal distribution worksheet with answers
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.
The heights of adult men are normally distributed with mean 178 cm and standard deviation 7 cm. What fraction lies between 172.4 and 190.95 cm? Give P as a decimal.
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 99.9 s. Round z to two decimals.
Hole diameters D are normal with mean 25.02 mm and standard deviation 0.02 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.
The exam scores are normally distributed with mean 65 points and standard deviation 10 points. Drag the cut-off so the shaded bottom 60% is to the left of it. Find the cut-off x.
