Assignment 2 MAS291

The document contains several probability calculations based on normal distributions. Some key points: - It calculates probabilities for different ranges of a normal distribution with mean μ=8.2 and standard deviation σ=1.5. - For example, it finds P(X<10) = 1, P(5<X<10) = 1, and P(X<6) ≈ 0, consistent with the standard normal distribution. - It also solves some problems to find critical values or ranges that satisfy given probability criteria, like finding the value where P(X>x) = 0.1. - Other calculations include finding mean, variance, and probability ranges for other distributions based on integrating

Yes it is possible.

Standard deviation

𝑠2 = ∑𝑛𝑖=1(𝑥𝑖 − 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛) = 4.36
𝑛−1

Therefore, standard deviation can be greater than sample mean for a given set

6-28,

Median of a sample is given by its central value (or a value halfway between its
two central values).
For mean = median, mean should be equal to the sample central value( or
halfway between the two central values). Hence, the distribution should be
symmetric
