    This document provides instructions and exercises for using the normal distribution and standard normal distribution to calculate probabilities. There are three parts: 1) Using a standard normal table to find probabilities for values on the standard normal distribution, 2) Using standardization to find probabilities for non-standard normal distributions, and 3) Using standardization in reverse to find scores for non-standard normal distributions based on percentile values. The exercises cover a range of probability calculations and interpretations for normal distributions with given means and standard deviations.

    Normal Distribution Practice Exercises

    Instructions: 1. Answer each exercise, using the Standard Normal Table as appropriate. 2. You are encouraged to work together. 3. For each exercise, a properly-labeled sketch is recommended. Exercises Part 1: Using the Normal Distribution Table find Probabilities Notes

    1. What proportion of observations on the Standard Normal Distribution is greater than z = 2.14 ?

    2. Find P ( z < 2.14) .

    3. Suppose a population of data is claimed to follow a Standard Normal distribution. What should be the likelihood of finding a data value greater than 7, assuming the claim is true?

    4. Find the score z on the Standard Normal distribution so that the proportion of observations below z is .0344.

    5. Find the value, z, on the Standard Normal distribution so that the probability greater than z is 15%.

    Part 2: Using the Standardization formula to finding probabilities on Non-Standard Normal Distributions 6. On a (Non-Standard) Normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 10, what is the proportion of observations below 123?

    7. Suppose the distribution of lengths of the common garden snake follows a Normal distribution with mean = 6 inches and standard deviation = 1.5 inches. What is the probability of finding a snake longer than 7 inches?

    8. Suppose the distribution of thickness of circuit boards produced by Intel is supposed to be Normal, with mean = 12 mm, and standard deviation = 0.7 mm, if the manufacturing process is working correctly. Suppose circuit boards thinner than 10 mm are at risk of breaking. Assuming the claimed distribution is true, what should be the proportion of circuit boards that are at risk of breaking?

    9. Suppose I am working as a quality control investigator, testing circuit boards. Intel claims that the distribution of thickness of their circuit boards is as described in exercise 10. To test this claim, I select one circuit board at random. Should it be very likely for one randomly-selected circuit board to be thinner than 10 mm? If, in fact, the board I select does turn out to be thinner than 10 mm, what do you think this suggests about the claim?

    Part 3: Using the Standardization formula in reverse, to find scores on Non-Standard Normal distributions 10. Suppose that, from smoker to smoker, the number of cigarettes smoked per day varies Normally, with mean 11 cigarettes, and standard deviation 5 cigarettes. How many cigarettes per day are smoked by the top 8% of smokers?

    11. Adult male height in the U.S. is Normally distributed, with mean 69.3 inches, and standard deviation 2.8 inches. Gordon is just at the bottom 2.94% of males, for height. How tall is Gordon?
