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.

Let x be a continuous random variable that is normally distributed with a mean of 24 and a standard deviation of 5.

Round your answers to two decimal places.

(a) Standardize the variable value x = 26.1.

z = 

(b) Standardize the variable value x = 49.0.

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.
