Problem Set 4

The document contains solutions to statistics problems involving normal distributions. It finds probabilities and z-scores given information like mean, standard deviation, and ranges of a normal distribution. It calculates the number of patients that would fall under certain criteria based on data given about systolic blood pressure.

1. Find the probability and sketch the curve


(i) from z = 0 to z = 1.23.
P{z=1.23} is 0.1093
A=0.1093

-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
Z=1.23

(ii) from z = 1.62 to z = 0.43.


A1=0.3336 A= A1+ A2= 0.526 + 0.3336

A2=0.0526 = 0.3862

P {z=1.62 to z=0.43} = 0.3862 or 38.62 %

-3 -2 -1 Z=0.43 1 2 3
Z=1.62

(iii) −0.15 < z < 2.38. A1= 0.5 – 0.4404= 0.0596

A2= 0.5 – 0.0087= 0.4913


A1=0.4404
A= A1+ A2= 0.596 + 0.4913 = 0.5509

A2=0.0087

P {−0.15 < z < 2.38} = 0.5509 or 55.09 %


-3 -2 -1 1 2 3

2. Find the z − score when


(i) the probability from z = 0 and −z is 0.4713.

A1= 0.5 – 0.4713 = 0.0287

z = -1.9
A=0.4713

-3 -2 -1 1 2 3
(ii) the probability to the right of +z is 0.1379.

A=0.1379 A1= 0.1379 – 0.5 = -0.3621

z = -1.0

-3 -2 -1 1 2 3

(iii) the probability to the left of +z is 0.8770.

A= 0.5 – 0.8770 = -0.377


A=0.8770
z = 1.1

-3 -2 -1 1 2 3

3. The average systolic pressure of the 200 patients in a certain hospital is 151 with
a standard deviation of 15. Assuming that it could be normally distributed, find
the number of patients who have systolic pressure:
(i) from 119 to 155.

Given: x= 119 and x= 155


x= 137
s= 15

119 – 137
z= x – x = = -1.2
s 15
155 – 137
z= x – x = = 1.2
s 15

A= A1+ A2= 0.3849 + 0.1151 = 0.5


A2=0.1151 A1=0.3849
0.5 (200) = 100 patients

-3 -2 -1 1 2 3

Z=-1.2 Z=1.2
(ii) less than or equal to 127.

Given: x= 185
x= 137
s= 15
185– 137
z= x – x = 15 = 3.2 -3 -2 -1 1 2 3
s
A= A1+ A2= -0.166 + 0.1151 = -0.1666
-0.1666 (200) = -33.32 0r 200 patients

(iii) greater than or equal to 185.


Given: x= 127
x= 137
s= 15

185– 137
z= x–x = 15 = 3.2
s -3 -2 -1 1 2 3

A= 0.5 – 0.4773 = 0.0007

0.0007 (200) = 0.4patients
