Exam questions on The Normal distribution

  1. The mass of an egg, XX grams, is Normally distributed with mean 60 and standard deviation 4.
    Find the probability that an egg has a mass between 54 g and 66 g.2 marks
  2. The time, TT minutes, taken by a bus to complete its route is Normally distributed with T∼N(42, 9)T\sim\mathrm{N}(42,\,9).
    Find the value of tt such that P(T<t)=0.9772\mathrm{P}(T<t)=0.9772.2 marks
  3. The heights of adult women in a population are Normally distributed with mean 164 cm and standard deviation 6 cm.
