A species of cockroach has weights that follow a Normal distribution with a mean of 50 grams. After measuring the weights of many of these cockroaches, a lab assistant reports that 17% of the cockroaches weigh more than 58 grams. Based on this report, what is the approximate standard deviation of weights for this species of cockroaches?

The dotplot to the right shows the number of home runs for a random sample of 50 baseball players in the 2014 season. The mean of this distribution is 3.32 homeruns and  $\sigma=5.89$  homeruns.

Canyon del Oro alumni Ian Kinsler is represented by the dot at 13 homeruns.  At what percentile is Kinsler?

• 8th percentile

• 26th percentile

• 50th percentile

• 74th percentile 

• 92nd percentile

The dotplot to the right shows the number of home runs for a random sample of 50 baseball players in the 2014 season. The mean of this distribution is 3.32 homeruns and  $\sigma=5.89$  homeruns.

If each of these 50 values was standardized, what would be the best description of the resulting distribution of standardized scores.

• Exactly Normal with mean = 0 and SD = 1

• Approximately Normal with mean = 0 and SD = 1

• Approximately Normal with mean = 3.32 and SD = 5.89

• Skewed right with mean = 0 and SD = 1

• Skewed right with mean = 3.32 and SD = 5.89

In a standard Normal distribution, what proportion of the values are less than 0.34?

• 0.2946

• 0.7054

• 0.0778

• 0.6331

• This cannot be determined without the mean and standard deviation.
