Normal Distribution Exercise

The document discusses three examples involving normal distributions. The first asks for the probability that a computer battery life is between 50-70 hours given a mean of 50 hours and standard deviation of 15 hours. The second asks if a student scoring 585 will be admitted to a university where test scores have a mean of 500 and standard deviation of 100 and 70% must be exceeded. The third asks for the probabilities that a component's length falls between two ranges given it has a mean length of 5 cm and standard deviation of 0.02 cm.

Normal Distribution

Exercise:
1. For a certain type of computer, the length of time between charges of
the battery is normally distributed with a mean of 50 hours and a
standard deviation of 15 hours. John owns one of these computers and
wants to know the probability that the length of time will be between 50
and 70 hours.

2. Entry to a certain University is determined by a national test. The


scores on this test are normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a
standard deviation of 100. Tom wants to be admitted to this university
and he knows that he must score better than at least 70% of the
students who took the test. Tom takes the test and scores 585. Will he
be admitted to this university?

3. The length of similar components produced by a company is


approximated by a normal distribution model with a mean of 5 cm and a
standard deviation of 0.02 cm. If a component is chosen at random
a) what is the probability that the length of this component is between
4.98 and 5.02 cm?
b) what is the probability that the length of this component is between
4.96 and 5.04 cm?
