Using Continuity Correction There are many situations in which a normal distribution can be used as a good approximation to a random variable that has only discrete values. In such cases, we can use this continuity correction: Represent each whole number by the interval extending from 0.5 below the
Units of Measurement Weights of women are normally distributed with a mean of 143 lb and a standard deviation of 29 lb.a. If weights of individual women are expressed in units of pounds, what are the units used for the z scores that correspond to individual weights?b. If weights of all women are
