Basic Stat-2, Normal Distribution, Functions of Random Variables

The document contains solutions to 5 problems related to basic statistics and the normal distribution. Solution 1 calculates a probability using the normal distribution in R. Solution 2 calculates percentages from a normal distribution with mean 38 and standard deviation 6. Solution 3 provides information on properties of normal distributions. Solution 4 finds the symmetric values around a mean of 100 for a standard normal distribution that enclose 99% of the area. Solution 5 shows the code for this in Python.

Solution-1

0.2676
Explanation:

The work begins after 10 min, so the average time increases from 45min to 55min.

for normal distribution :-

z = (X-μ)/б

= (60-55)/8

= 0.625

In R software for probability finding we use function called pnorm

As we want to find the probability that the service manager cannot meet his commitment, So we
should write the command below.

1-pnorm(0.625)

=0.2676

In R software we can directly write code

1-pnorm(60, mean=55, sd=8)

=0.2676

Solution-2
Mean = 38

SD = 6

Z score = (Value - Mean)/SD

Z score for 44 = (44 - 38)/6 = 1 => 84.13 %

=> People above 44 age = 100 - 84.13 = 15.87% ≈ 63 out of 400

Z score for 38 = (38 - 38)/6 = 0 => 50%

Hence People between 38 & 44 age = 84.13 - 50 = 34.13 % ≈ 137 out of


400

Hence More employees at the processing center are older than 44 than between 38 and 44. is
FALSE

Z score for 30 = (30 - 38)/6 = -1.33 = 9.15 % ≈ 36 out of 400

Hence A training program for employees under the age of 30 at the center would be expected to
attract about 36 employees - TRUE

Solution-3

1. If X has this normal distribution, we write X ∼ N(μ,σ2). This


notation says “X is normally distributed with mean μ and
variance σ2.” We call μ and σ2 the parameters of the normal
distribution. Once we specify the parameters μ and σ2, we have
completely specified the distribution of a normal random
variable. This is not true for arbitrary random variables:
ordinarily, the mean and the variance do not completely
determine the distribution, If X1 and X2 are N (μ1 , σ12 ) and
N(μ2,σ2), respectively, then X1 ± X2 is normal N(μ1 ± μ2,σ12 +
σ2). (Note the plus sign in the formula for the variance of X1 +
X2. Also, note that it is the variances that add up, not the
standard deviations.)
Solution-4
Two values symmetric about mean for the given standard normal distribution are [48.5,151.5]

Explanation:

Given: p(a<x<b) = 0.99 ,mean =100,standardDeviation = 20

To Find:

Identify symmetric values for the standard normal distribution such that the area enclosed is .99

From the above details,we have to exclude the area of .005 in each of the left and right tails.
Hence, we want to find the 0.5th and the 99.5th percentiles Z score values

Using Python

Z value is given as stats.norm.ppf(p value)

Z value at 0.5th percentile is given as

Z(0.5) = stats.norm.ppf(0.005)= -2.576

Z value at 99.5 percentile is given as

Z(99.5) = stats.norm.ppf(0.995) = 2.576

Z = (x - 100)/20 = > x = 20z+100

a = -(20*2.576) + 100= 48.5

b = (20*2.576)+100= 151.5

Two values symmetric about mean for the given standard normal distribution are[48.5,151.5]
