Further suppose that among the college s applicants who take the ACT, scores have a mean of 20.6 and a standard deviation of 5.2. a) If applicant Bobby scored 1080 on the SAT, how many points above the SAT mean did he score? ; 184 points above the SAT mean. b) If applicant Kathy scored 28 on the ACT, how many points above the ACT mean did she score? ; 7.4 points above the ACT mean. c) Is it sensible to conclude that since your answer to (a) is greater than your answer to b), Bobby outperformed Kathy on the admissions test? Explain. No, they are different tests with different scoring scales. d) Determine how many standard deviations above the mean Bobby scored by dividing your answer to (a) by the standard deviation of the SAT scores. Do the same for Kathy s score. Bobby: z = ; z = 1.06 Kathy: z = ; z = e) Which applicant has the higher z-score for his or her admissions test score? Kathy had the higher z-score, 1.42 > 1.06 f) Explain in your own words which applicant performed better on his or her admissions test. Kathy did better. Since she is more standard deviations above the mean she would be in a higher percentile than Bobby. g) Calculate the z-score for applicant Peter, who scored 740 on the SAT, and for applicant Kelly, who scored 19 on the ACT. Peter: z = ; z =.90 Kelly: z = ; z = h) Which of Peter and Kelly has the higher z-score? Kelly has the higher z-score, -.31 > -.90: i) Under what conditions does a z-score turn out to be negative?

9 21) A trucking firm determines that its fleet of trucks averages a mean of 12.4 miles per gallon with a standard deviation of 1.2 miles per gallon on cross-country hauls. What is the probability that one of the trucks averages fewer than 10 miles per gallon? With a z-score of -2, the probability that the trucks will average fewer than 10 mpg is ) A factory dumps an average of 2.43 tons of pollutants into a river every week.

If the standard deviation is 0.5 hour, what is the probability that an item will take between 3 and 4 hours? With z-scores of -0.8 and 1.2, the probability that an item will take between 3 and 4 hours to move through an assembly line is ) The mean score on a college placement exam is 500 with a standard deviation of 100.

What standard deviation is he assuming for this statement to make sense (assuming life expectancies are normally distributed)? Jay Olshansky is assuming a standard deviation of approximately 21.7.
10 28) Cucumbers grown on a certain farm have weights with a standard deviation of 2 ounces. What is the mean weight if 85% of the cucumbers weigh less than 16 ounces? The mean weight is ounces if 85% of cucumbers weigh less than 16 ounces. 29) A coffee machine can be adjusted to deliver any fixed number of ounces of coffee. If the machine has a standard deviation in delivery equal to 0.4 ounce, what should be the mean setting so that an 8-ounce cup will overflow only 0.5% of the time? For an 8 oz cup to overflow 0.5% of the time, the mean setting should be 6.97 oz. 30) If 75% of all families spend more than $75 weekly for food, while 15% spend more than $150, what is the mean weekly expenditure and what is the standard deviation? The mean weekly food expenditure is $ with a standard deviation of $ ) Three landmarks of baseball achievement are Ty Cobb s batting average of.420 in 1911, Ted Williams s.406 in 1941, and George Brett s.390 in These batting averages cannot be compared directly because the distribution of major league batting averages has changed over the decades. The distributions are quite symmetric and reasonably normal. While the mean batting average has been held roughly constant by rule changes and the balance between hitting and pitching, the standard deviation has dropped over time. Here are the facts Decade Mean Std. Dev. 1910s 1940s 1970s Comparatively, who ranked highest amongst his peers? Justify your answer. Ted Williams batting average of.406 is 1941 would be ranked highest amongst his peers. Ted was 4.26 standard deviations above the mean compared to 4.15 for Ty Cobb and 4.06 for George Brett.
11 32) The following graph and data output are from the 108 years of rainfall in Austin. Let the calculated mean and standard deviation from the data represent µ and σ for the calculations. Annual Rainfall in Austin Rainfall in in S1 = mean Rainfall S2 = stddev Rainfall a) What proportion of rainfall was between 30 and 40 inches? Since the z-score for 30 inches is and the z-score for 40 inches is 0.66, the approximate proportion of rainfall between 30 and 40 inches is b) Comment on the accuracy of your calculations. The calculations should be fairly accurate. The histogram of the distribution of rainfall for Austin appears to be approximately Normal with no obvious outliers. Therefore, it is appropriate to use standard Normal probabilities. 33) A person with too much time on his hands collected 1000 pennies that came into his possession in 1999 and calculated the age (as of 1999) of each. The distribution has mean years and standard deviation years. Knowing these summary statistics but without seeing the distribution, can you comment on whether the normal distribution is likely to provide a reasonable model for these penny ages? Explain. It is probably not normally distributed (9.613) is well below 0 (a new penny). This distribution is most likely skewed to the right as there are more newer pennies in circulation. 34) Use the following data set Draw a stemplot, boxplot and normal probability plot to assess normality. Data appears to be fairly normally distributed
12 35) Use the following data set: Is this data set best modeled by using a normal distribution? Create and draw a histogram, boxplot and normal probability plot to decide. Explain your results. The histogram and box-plot both show that the data is skewed to the left. The normal probability plot has too much curvature to be considered normal.
