This document contains a summative assessment on statistics and probability concepts relating to the standard normal distribution. It includes 10 multiple choice questions testing properties of the standard normal distribution and applying it to calculate probabilities. It also includes 2 word problems asking students to calculate probabilities based on given normal distributions and use them to determine expected values.

SUMMATIVE Name: I. Read the instructions and answer accordingly. 1. The standard normal distribution a. has a mean of zero (0) and a standard deviation of 1. b. has a mean of 1 and a variance of zero (0). c. has an area equal to 0.5. d. cannot be used to approximate discrete probability distributions. 2. If Z has a standard normal distribution, and P (0 < Z < z ) is 0.3770, then the value of z is a. 0.18 b. 0.81 c. 1.16 d. 1.47 3. True or False: The probability that a standard normal random variable, Z, falls between – 1.50 and 0.81 is 0.7242. 4. Suppose Z has a standard normal distribution with a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1. The probability that Z is less than 1.15 is __________. 5. Suppose Z has a standard normal distribution with a mean of zero (0) and standard deviation of 1. The probability that Z values are larger than __________ is 0.3483. 6. Suppose Z has a standard normal distribution with a mean of zero (0) and standard deviation of 1. 85% of the possible Z values are smaller than __________. 7. Let Z be a standard normal random variable. Calculate: (a) P(Z ≤ 1.43); (b) P(Z> 1.43); (c) P( –1.43 ≤ Z ≤ 1.43). 8. If a particular batch of data is approximately normally distributed, we would find that approximately a) 2 of every 3 observations would fall between ± 1 standard deviation around the mean. b) 4 of every 5 observations would fall between ± 1.28 standard deviations around the mean. c) 19 of every 20 observations would fall between ± 2 standard deviations around the mean. d) All the above. 9. The probability that a randomly selected Grade 11 student will play one game of Candy Crush in less than 3 minutes is a) 0.3551 b) 0.3085 c) 0.2674 d) 0.1915 10. The probability that a randomly-selected grade 11 student will take between 2 and 4.5 minutes to play Candy Crush is: a) 0.0919 b) 0.2255 c) 0.4938 d) 0.7745 II. Solve the following problem. 1. Rodrigo earned a score of 940 on a national achievement test. The mean test score was 850 with a standard deviation of 100. What proportion of students had a higher score than Rodrigo? (Assume that test scores are normally distributed.) If there were 100,000 students who took the test, how many would be expected to have a higher score than Rodrigo? 2. Every night when you get home from school, you take your dog Bantay for a walk. The length of the walk is normally distributed with a mean of m=15 minutes and standard deviation of s=3 minutes. (a) What proportion of walks last less than 15 minutes? (b) What proportion of walks last longer than 20 minutes? (c) What proportion of walks last between 10 and 16 minutes?
