1 Chapter (7) Continuous Probability Distributions Examples The uniform distribution Example () Australian sheepdogs have a relatively short life.the length of their life follows a uniform distribution between 8 and 4 years.. Draw this uniform distribution. What are the height and base values? 2. Show the total area under the curve is. 3. Calculate the mean and the standard deviation of this distribution. 4. What is the probability a particular dog lives between 0 and 2 years? 5. What is the probability a particular dog lives greater than 0?. What is the probability a dog will live less than 9 years?. The height b a Maximum=4 Minimum=8 2. The total area a b

Find the standard normal random variable (z) for P( X >80) P( X 80) P( ) P( ) P(.5) Example (3) If the mean = 5 and standard deviation =3. Find x from the following:. z = z = z 0. x 5 z.93 x The Empirical Rule Example (4) A sample of the rental rates at University Park Apartments approximates a systematical, bell- shaped distribution. The sample mean is $500; the standard deviation is $20.Using the Empirical Rule, answer these questions: About 8 percent of the monthly food expenditures are between what two amounts?. About 95 percent of the monthly food expenditures are between what two amounts?. About all of the monthly (99.7%) food expenditures are between what two amounts?

7 Solution - X $480,$520 About 8 percent are between $480 and $520. X $40,$540 About 95 percent are between $40 and $540. X $440,$50 About 99.7 percent are between $440 and $50. Example (5) The mean of a normal probability distribution is 20; the standard deviation is 0. a. About 8 percent of the observations lie between what two values? b. About 95 percent of the observations lie between what two values? c. About 99 percent of the observations lie between what two values? a and b. 40 and c. 50 and Example () Studies show that gasoline use for compact cars sold in the United States is normally distributed, with a mean of 25.5 miles per gallon (mpg) and a standard deviation of 4.5 mpg. Find the probability of compact cars that get:. 30 mpg or more mpg or less. 3. Between 30 and Between 30 and 2. 7

Assuming the grades to be normally distributed, determine:. The percentage of students scoring more than points. 2. The percentage of students scoring less than 8 points. 3. The percentage of students scoring between 5.5and points. 4. The percentage of students scoring between 5.5and 8 points. 5. The percentage of students scoring less than 5.5 points.. The percentage of students scoring more than 8 points. 7. The percentage of students scoring equal to 8 points. 8. The maximum grade of the lowest 5 % of the class. 9.
