Normal Distribution - Explained Simply (part 1)

Normal Distribution: What It Is, Uses, and Formula

Assume that the burning times of electric light bulbs approximate a normal curve with a mean of 1200 hours and a standard deviation of 120 hours. If a large number of new lights are installed at the same time (possibly along a newly opened freeway), at what time will (a) 1 percent fail? (Hint: This splits the total area into .0100 to the left and .9900 to the right.) (b) 50 percent fail? (c) 95 percent fail? (d) If a new inspection procedure eliminates the weakest 8 percent of all lights before

SOLVED: (a) The standard normal curve is graphed below. Shade the region under the standard normal curve to the left of z=0.00.

Assume that SAT math scores approximate a normal curve with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100 . (a) Sketch a normal curve and shade in the target area(s) described by each of the following statements: (i) more than 570 (ii) less than 515 (iii) between 520 and 540 (iv) between 470 and 520 (v) more than 50 points above the mean (vi) more than 100 points either above or below the mean (vii) within 50 points either above or below the mean (b) Plan solutions (in terms of columns B, C, B^
