1.Easy
−3−2−10123zshaded area to the left of z = 0.7019

Drag z so that the shaded area under the standard normal curve, to the left of z, is 0.7019. Find z to two decimals.

A = 0.7019
z =
2.Easy
−8 minσ = ?X − 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 standard deviation σ of the difference X − Y.

μX = 12 min, σX = 1.5 minμY = 20 min, σY = 2 min
σ = min

246255.25P = ?

The bag weights are normally distributed with mean 250 g and standard deviation 5 g. What fraction lies between 246 and 255.25 g? Give P as a decimal.

μ = 250σ = 5x1 = 246x2 = 255.25
P =

−3−2−10123zshaded area to the right of z = 0.9798

Drag z so that the shaded area under the standard normal curve, to the right of z, is 0.9798. Find z to two decimals.

A = 0.9798
z =

0.02 mm0D − d?

Hole diameters D are normal with mean 25.02 mm and standard deviation 0.01 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.
