Probability Assignment 6 PDF

This document is an assignment from Wah Engineering College for a course on Probability and Statistics. It contains 5 questions regarding normal distributions and standard deviations. Question 1 asks students to determine values of z given information about areas under a standard normal curve. Question 2 asks students to calculate a probability given information about a normal distribution and Chebyshev's theorem. Question 3 asks students to analyze percentages of loaves of bread given length properties. Questions 4 and 5 similarly ask students to analyze properties and calculate probabilities regarding normally distributed variables like piston ring diameters and oxygen purity percentages.

Question No # 1
Determine the value of z if the area under a standard normal curve
a) to the right of z is 0.3622;
b) to the left of z is 0.1131;
c) between 0 and z, with z > 0, is 0.4838;
d) between −z and z, with z > 0, is 0.9500.
Question No # 2
According to Chebyshev’s theorem, the probability that any random variable assumes a value within 3
standard deviations of the mean is at least 8/9. If it is known that the probability distribution of a random variable
X is normal with mean μ and variance σ2, Determine the exact value of
P(μ − 3σ <X < μ+ 3σ)?

Question No # 3
The loaves of rye bread distributed to local stores by a certain bakery have an average length of 30
centimeters and a standard deviation of 2 centimeters. Assuming that the lengths are normally distributed. Analyze
percentage of the loaves are
1. longer than 31.7 centimeters?
2. between 29.3 and 33.5 centimeters in length?
3. shorter than 25.5 centimeters?

Question No # 4
The finished inside diameter of a piston ring is normally distributed with a mean of 10 centimeters and a
standard deviation of 0.03 centimeter.
1. Determine proportion of rings will have inside diameters exceeding 10.075 centimeters?
2. Determine the probability that a piston ring will have an inside diameter between 9.97 and 10.03
centimeters?
3. Analyze what value of inside diameter will 15% of the piston rings fall?
Question No # 5
In the November 1990 issue of Chemical Engineering Progress, a study discussed the percent purity of
oxygen from a certain supplier. Assume that the mean was 99.61 with a standard deviation of 0.08. Assume that
the distribution of percent purity was approximately normal.
1. Analyze percentage of the purity values would you expect to be between 99.5 and 99.7?
2. Determine what purity value would you expect to exceed exactly 5% of the population?
