Instructions: Complete all the problems by yourself and go over with your Cyber mentor.

1. Use the standard normal distribution to find


(a) P(0 <z<2.25)

(b) P(-2.25 <z<0)

(c) P(-2.25 <z<1.25)

(d) P(-2.50 <z<1.50)

(e) P(z <-2.33 or z >2.33)

2. Find a value of the standard normal random variable z, called z0, such that
(a) P(-z0 z z0) =.98

(b) P(zz0)=.70

(c) P(z z0)=.70

3. A physical fitness association is including the mile run in its secondary-school fitness test. The
time for this event for boys in secondary school is known to possess a normal distribution with a
mean of 440 seconds and a standard deviation of 60 seconds. Find the probability that a
randomly selected boy in secondary school can run the mile in less than 302 seconds.
Complete the following steps for your answer.
i)

Label the variable.

ii)
iii)

Formulate the problem.

iv)

Shade the appropriate area of the curve based on part (ii).

v)

Calculate the z-score.

vi)
vii)

Show your z-score value using z-scale on the above graph.


Use z-table to find the final answer.

4. A physical fitness association is including the mile run in its secondary-school fitness test. The
time for this event for boys in secondary school is known to possess a normal distribution with a
mean of 440 seconds and a standard deviation of 40 seconds. The fitness association wants to
recognize the fastest 10% of the boys with certificates of recognition. What time would the boys
need to beat in order to earn a certificate of recognition from the fitness association?
