Q1
After collecting the data, Peter finds that the standardized test scores of the students in a school are normally distributed with mean 85 points and standard deviation 3 points. Use the Empirical Rule to find the probability that a randomly selected student’s score is greater than 76 points. Provide the final answer as a percent rounded to two decimal places.
Q2
A normal distribution is observed from the number of points per game for a certain basketball player. The mean for this distribution is 20 points and the standard deviation is 3 points. Use the empirical rule for normal distributions to estimate the probability that in a randomly selected game the player scored less than 26 points.
- Provide the final answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place.
Q3
The number of pages per book on a bookshelf is normally distributed with mean 248 pages and standard deviation 21 pages. Using the empirical rule, what is the probability that a randomly selected book has less than 206 pages?
- Provide the final answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place.
Q4
A normal distribution is observed from the number of points per game for a certain basketball player. If the mean is 15 points and the standard deviation is 3 points, what is the probability that in a randomly selected game, the player scored greater than 24 points? Use the empirical rule
- Provide the final answer as a percent rounded to two decimal places.
Q5
A normal distribution is observed from the number of points per game for a certain basketball player. If the mean is 16 points and the standard deviation is 2 points, what is the probability that in a randomly selected game, the player scored between 12 and 20 points? Use the empirical rule
- Provide the final answer as a percent.
Q6
Brenda has collected data to find that the finishing times for cyclists in a race has a normal distribution. What is the probability that a randomly selected race participant had a finishing time of greater than 154 minutes if the mean is 143 minutes and the standard deviation is 11 minutes? Use the empirical rule.
- Provide the final answer as a percent.
Q7
