1. In a standard normal distribution, find the following values: a. The probability that a given z score is less than-2.67 b. The probability that a given z score is between 1.55 and 2.44 C. The z scores that separates the most inner (middle) 82% of the distribution to the rest d. The z score that separate the lower 65 % to the rest of the distribution 2. According to a survey conducted in the Republic of KXW, the income distribution of all its union workers is normal with an average of 51000 KXW dollars and a standard derivation of 2700 KXW dollars. If a single worker is selected at random, use the normal distribution and compute the following: a. The probability that he/she earns more than 57000 KXW dollars b. The probability that he/she earns less than 47000 KXW dollars c. The probability that he/she earns between 47000 KXW dollars and 57000 KXW dollars 3.

Random samples of size 40 are drawn from this population and the mean of each sample is determined. a. Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means. b. What is the probability that the mean amount spent on food in a week for a certain sample is more than $143? c. What is the probability that the mean amount spent on food in a week for a certain sample is between $138 and $143? 5. According to the Uniform Crime Report, 70% of murders are committed with a firearm. Supposed that 50 murders are randomly selected, use the normal approximation to the binomial to a. Compute the mean and standard deviation b. Approximate the probability that at least 30 murders were con c. Approximate the probability that more than 30 murders were committed using firearm. d. Approximate the probability that exactly 30 murders were committed using firearm. e.
