The normal distribution is sometimes called the bell curve because Alexander Graham Bell discovered it.
|
false
|
|
|
In the normal distribution, values in the distribution being measured are close to the mean (high or low values are infrequently found).
|
true
|
|
|
For a given distribution the average is 15.5 and the standard deviation is 1.5.
If a sample is taken at random, which value is most likely? |
16.3
|
|
|
In the standard normal curve, the mean is and a standard deviation of .

Jim Tree wants to analyze his shipment of trees based on height. He knows the height of the trees is normally distributed so he can use the standard normal distribution. He measures the height of 100 randomly selected trees in his shipment. He finds the mean is 65 inches and the standard deviation is 10 inches.
What percentage of the trees will be between 55 inches and 75 inches? |
68%

Choose the correct answer.
Tommy Teacher wants to analyze the weights of the students at his school. He knows the weight of the students is normally distributed so he can use the standard normal distribution. He measures the weight of 100 randomly selected students in the school. He finds the mean is 80 pounds and the standard deviation is 8 pounds. Out of 100 students, how many should weigh between 64 and 96 pounds? |

|
The deviation of a value (x) from the mean of the sample divided by the standard deviation (s)of the sample is known as the "z" value or z-score.
|
true
|
|
|
A z-score of 1.0 corresponds to a value one standard deviation from the mean.
|
true
|
|
|
Since the normal curve is not symmetrical the area corresponding to a z-score of +1.0 will be different from that corresponding to -1.0.
|
false

Choose the correct answer.

Clyde Cement wants to analyze a shipment of bags of cement. He knows the weight of the bags is normally distributed so he can use the standard normal distribution. He measures the weight of 600 randomly selected bags in the shipment. Next, he calculates the mean and standard deviation of their weights. The mean is 50 lbs and the standard deviation is 1.5 lbs. What percentage of the bags of cement will weigh less than 50 lbs.?
|
50

|
Given a population that meets the conditions of a normal distribution, samples taken at random will also be normally distributed regardless of sample size.
|
true
|
|
|
Given an infinite population that does not meet the conditions of a normal distribution, samples taken at random will also not be normally distributed regardless of sample size.
|
false

|
|
|
Because sample means were being tested, the is used to calculate the z-score.
|

10, 9, 4, 7, 5.5 The range for this data is _____. |
6
|
|
|
A value one standard deviation from the mean is less likely to occur than a value three standard deviations from the mean.
|
false
|
|
|
If a data point has a corresponding z-score of -1.5, then it is one and a half standard deviations above the mean value.
|
false
