Study Notes
Weight Distribution of Candies
- Candies produced by a company are normally distributed with a mean weight of 720 mg.
- The interval of weights containing the largest proportion is 700 mg to 740 mg.
Remote Control Car Running Times
- Running times for a specific remote control car are normally distributed with a mean of 80 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.5 minutes.
- The probability of running time between 75 minutes and 82.5 minutes is represented by the shaded area in a related figure.
Test Scores Distribution
- A non-symmetric distribution of test scores does not provide enough information to estimate the z-score at the third quartile accurately.
Producer Supplier Box Weights
- The weight distribution of produce boxes is approximately normal with a mean of 36 pounds and a standard deviation of 4 pounds.
- The weight at the 75th percentile can be expressed as 0.67(4) + 36.
Newborn Baby Sleep Times
- A sleep duration of 15.9 hours per day is at the 10th percentile for newborns.
- Assuming normal distribution with a 0.5-hour standard deviation, the mean sleep time for newborns is approximately 16.5 hours.
Standardized Test Scores
- A student with a standardized z-score of -1.2 on a test corresponds to a score of about 779.42.
Egg Carton Weights
- The weight distribution of large egg cartons is approximately normal with a mean of 26 ounces.
- The interval of weights containing the greatest proportion is between 24 oz to 28 oz.
Relative Performance in Exams
- Chemistry final scores normally distributed with mean 75 and standard deviation 12, Calculus scores with mean 80 and standard deviation 8.
- A student scored 81 in chemistry and 84 in calculus, performing equally well relative to classmates.
Order Processing Times
- Cashier processing times at a coffee shop follow a normal distribution with mean 276 seconds and standard deviation 38 seconds.
- Proportion of orders processed in less than 240 seconds is approximately 17%.
Mouse Weight Distribution
- The weight of field mice is normally distributed, mean of 25 grams and standard deviation of 4 grams.
- The proportion of mice weighing more than 33 grams is approximately 2.3%.
College Football Rushing Yards
- The mean rushing yardage recorded is 790 yards.
- A running back scoring 1,637 yards is 2.42 standard deviations above the mean, indicating a standard deviation of about 350 yards.
Height Measurement Conversion
- Height measurements converted from meters to centimeters maintain the same z-scores.
Order of Z-Scores
- In a normally distributed dataset:
- r (z = -1.00), s (first quartile), t (20th percentile).
- Correct order from least to greatest: r, t, s.
Jigsaw Puzzle Completion Times
- Shalise's completion times for puzzles:
- Small puzzle finished in 75 minutes (16% of participants slower).
- Large puzzle finished in 140 minutes (84% of participants slower).
Online Store Purchases
- The distribution of purchases is normal with a mean of 1200 and standard deviation of 200.
- The proportion of hours with purchases exceeding 1400 is approximately 16%.
Salmon Length Distribution
- Salmon lengths are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 3.5 inches.
- If 10% of salmon are longer than 30 inches, the mean length is approximately 26 inches.
Standardized Scores After Conversion
- Converting time from seconds to minutes does not change the standardized score (z-score).
Maze Navigation Times
- The standard deviation of recorded times for mice navigating a maze is close to 10 seconds.
Caffeine Content of Cola
- Caffeine content is normally distributed with a mean of 33 mg.
- Approximately 12% of cans have a caffeine content greater than 35 mg.
Student Commuting Times
- Commuting time follows a normal distribution with mean 30 minutes and standard deviation 5 minutes.
- The probability of arriving later than 9 a.m., if leaving at 8:25 a.m., is about 16%.
Smartphone Assembly Times
- Assembly time for smartphones has a mean of 4.6 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.6 minutes.
- Approximately 59% of assembly times fall between 4 and 5 minutes.
Heights of Children
- Heights of 6-year-old girls are normally distributed with a mean of 46 inches, standard deviation 2.7 inches.
- Aliyaah's height is at the 83rd percentile and is shorter than her friend Jayne at the 93rd percentile.

- Monthly rent for one-bedroom apartments is normally distributed, mean $936, standard deviation $61.
- About 1.3% of apartments have a rent at or below $800.
Weights of Cross Country Runners
- The distribution of weights of female college runners has a mean of 122 pounds, standard deviation 8 pounds.
- Approximately 82% of runners weigh between 114 pounds and 138 pounds.
Height of Young Boys
- The height distribution for 3-year-old boys indicates Duncan at the 32nd percentile (32 inches) and Shane at the 62nd percentile (34 inches).
- The mean height of the distribution is estimated around 33.21 inches.
Adult Women's Heights
- Adult women have a normally distributed height with a mean of 65 inches.
- Rachael, at the 99th percentile, is approximately 70 inches tall.
Grizzly Bear Weights
- Male grizzly bears weigh, on average, 500 pounds (standard deviation 50 pounds), while females average 300 pounds (standard deviation 40 pounds).
- A female bear with the same standardized score as a 530-pound male would weigh approximately 324 pounds.
