Lesson 5
(Part1)
NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
EXAMPLE
A set of final examination grades in an introductory statistic course is normally
distributed, with a mean of 73 and a standard deviation of 8.

a. What is the probability that a student scored below 91 on this exam?


b. What is the probability that a student scored between 65 and 89?
c. The probability is 5 percent that a student taking the test scores higher than
what grade?
d. If the professor grades on a curve (i.e., gives As to the top ten percent of the
class, regardless of the score), are you better off with a grade of 81 on this exam
or a grade of 68 on a different exam, where the mean is 62 and the standard
deviation is 3? Show your answer statistically and explain.

Part 2
Correlation and Regression

The following are the age (in years) and Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) of 10
apparently healthy adults.
Age(x): 20 43 63 26 53 31 58 46 58 70
B. P.(y): 120 128 141 126 134 128 136 132 140 144
a. Construct the scatter diagram to determine the relationship between Age
and Blood Pressure.
b. Find the value of the linear correlation coefficient (r).
c. Determine whether there is a significant linear correlation between the two
variables.
d. If there is a positive/negative linear correlation, find the equation of the
regression line.
e. Interpret the value of the slope (i.e. the value of b)
f. What is the best predicted blood pressure of a person 60 years of age?
