13 Probability Distribution

This document contains 10 word problems related to probability distributions. Each problem provides data about a probability distribution such as the mean, standard deviation, or percentage of outcomes. The problems then ask the reader to calculate related probabilities or values based on the given distributions. The document includes the problems, space for the reader to show their work, and then provides the answers at the end. The problems cover topics like finding probabilities of outcomes within certain ranges, finding z-scores, and finding values that produce specific probability cutoffs.
