Chapter 06, Section 6.2, Intelligent Tutoring Problem 023
Compute probabilities.
Recall the following definitions from section 6.4 of the text.
The area under the normal curve from x = a to x = b with given mean and standard deviation is the probability that x assumes a value between x = a and x = b. If we are using Table IV in Appendix C, we need to standardize the random variable x using the formula z = (x− µ)/σ, before using the table.
Alternatively, you may use a graphing calculator to obtain more accurate calculations without standardizing the random variable x.
For example, using a TI83 plus we calculate the area under the normal curve from x = a to x = b by using the
normalcdf(a,b,µ,σ)
where µ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation of the normal distribution. We use 1E99 for ∞ and −1E99 for −∞, if needed.

Your answer is correct.
Let x be a continuous random variable that is normally distributed with a mean of 24 and a standard deviation of 5.
(a) Write a cumulative probability statement for the area under the normal curve to find the probability that x assumes a value between 26.9 and 49.0:
(b) Write an equivalent standardized probability statement for (a) above using the results obtained in the previous step:

Your answer is correct.
Compute the following probability. Round your answer to four decimal places.
Area under normal curve between x = 26.9 and x = 49.0 is given by
P(26.9 < x < 49.0) = P( 0.58 < z < 5) =
the tolerance is +/-2%

Your answer is correct.
Now, if the mean is 26 and the standard deviation is 6, find the probability that x assumes a value between 29.5 and 56.0.
Round your answer to four decimal places.
The probability =

Your answer is correct.
Please view the following video before answering this question. Distribution of the Sample Mean
The 5 ages of the population have one mean. However, when looking at the 10 samples of 3 of those means, there are 10 means – one for each sample. State the symbols for the one mean and then the 10 means.
