    The document contains 3 word problems related to normal distribution. Problem 1 involves analyzing aptitude test scores with a mean of 58 and standard deviation of 12. It asks to find percentile ranks, extreme scores, and ranges. Problem 2 analyzes ages of 3000 job applicants with a mean age of 28 and standard deviation of 4 years. It asks to draw the distribution, find counts above/below ages, and a percentile. Problem 3 examines heights of 500 children with a mean of 110cm and standard deviation of 6cm. It asks for probabilities of heights and number of children in the upper 15th percentile.

    (Statistics and Probability)
    NORMAL DISTRIBUTION

    Solve the following word problems below. Show complete solution and give brief conclusion for each item.

    1. A division-wide aptitude test in Mathematics was conducted to 1 000 pupils. The mean of the test is 58
    and the standard deviation is 12. The scores also approximate the normal distribution.
    a. What is the minimum score to belong to the upper 10% of the group?
    b. What are the two extreme scores outside of which 5% of the group are expected to fall?
    c. What is the score that divides the distribution into two such that 75% of the cases is below it?
    d. Estimate the range of scores that will include the:
    i. Middle 50% of the distribution.
    ii. Middle 99% of the distribution.

    2. In a job fair, 3 000 applicants applied for a job. Their mean age was found to be 28 with a standard
    deviation of 4 years.
    a. Draw a normal curve distribution showing the z-scores and the raw scores.
    b. How many applicants are below 20 years old?
    c. How many applicants are above 32 years old?
    d. How many have ages between 24 and 32 years?
    e. Find the age such that 75% is below it.

    3. Five hundred children participated in a field demonstration. Their heights averaged 110 cm with a
    standard deviation of 6 cm.
    a. What is the probability that a child, picked at random, has a height greater than 116 cm?
    b. What is the probability that the height of a child, picked at random, is less than 104 cm?
    c. How many children belong to the upper 15% of the group?
