Normal Distribution Calculations

State: Express the problem in terms of the observed variable x. Plan: Draw a picture of the distribution and shade the area of interest under the curve. Do: Perform calculations. Standardize x to restate the problem in terms of a standard Normal variable z. Use Table A and the fact that the total area under the curve is 1 to find the required area under the standard Normal curve. Conclude: Write your conclusion in the context of the problem. How to Solve Problems Involving Normal Distributions

When Tiger Woods hits his driver, the distance the ball travels is normally distributed with mean distance of 304 yards and standard deviation of 8 yards. What percent of Tiger’s drives travel between 305 and 325 yards? Using Table A, we can find the area to the left of z = 2.63 and the area to the left of z = – = About 44% of Tiger’s drives travel between 305 and 325 yards.

Example 2 4 A Company produces “20 ounce” jars of picante sauce. The true amounts of sauce in the jars of this brand follow a normal distribution. Suppose the company’s “20 ounce” jars follow an N (20.2, 0.125) distribution curve.

Example 2: N (20.2, 0.125) a. What proportion of the jars are under-filled (i.e., have less than 20 ounces of sauce)? 5 Now write the probability statement: Show calculator syntax: First, standardize the value of 20 by finding its z-score:

Example 2: N (20.2, 0.125) 6 b. What proportion of the sauce jars contain between 20 and 20.3 ounces of sauce? Write the probability statement and show syntax: Find z-scores for both values:

Example 2: N (20.2, 0.125) 7 c. 99% of the jars of this brand of picante sauce will contain more than what amount of sauce? We first use InvNorm to find the corresponding z-score: Now we use the z-score formula to find x:

Example 3 The cars in Clunkerville have a mean age of 12 years and a standard deviation of 8 years. What percentage of cars are more than 4 years old?

Example 4 SAT I math scores are scaled so that they are approximately normal, with mean about 511 and standard deviation about 112. A college wants to send letters to students scoring in the top 20% on the exam. What SAT I math score should the college use as the dividing line between those who get letters and those who don’t?
