Normal Distribution Practice

If this is the graph of data normally distributed with a mean of 30 and a standard deviation of 5, what label (number) is written at the blue circle?

• 40

• 35

• 45

• 50

Given a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 7, what percentage of scores are between 75 and 82?

• 68%

• 81.5%

• 16%

• 34%

The average weight of a newborn is 7.5 pounds, with a standard deviation of 1.25 pounds. Birth weight follows the standard normal curve. What percent of newborns weigh 5 pounds or less at birth?

• 2.35%

• 0.15%

• 2.5%

• 50%

In the accompanying diagram, the shaded area represents approximately 95% of the scores on a standardized test. If these scores ranged from 78 to 92, which could be the standard deviation?

• 3.5

• 7

• 14

• 20

This data is normally distributed.  What percent of the data is in the shaded region?

• 68%

• 95%

• 99.7%

• 50%

The monthly income of 5000 workers at the Microsoft plant are distributed normally. Suppose the mean monthly income is $1250 and the standard deviation is $250.

Creating a normal distribution curve shows that the percentage of workers who earn between $750 and $1500 per month is ​ (a)  

• 800 workers

• 125 workers

• 81.5% of workers

• 97.5% of workers

​ The monthly income of 5000 workers at the Microsoft plant are distributed normally. Suppose the mean monthly income is $1250 and the standard deviation is $250.

Creating a normal distribution curve shows that the percentage of workers who earn less than $1750 per month is ​ (a)  

• 800 workers

• 125 workers

A grading scale is set up for 1000 students' test scores. It is assumed the scores are normally distributed with a mean score of 75 and a standard deviation of 15.

If a grade of a 60 is the lowest passing score, how many students are expected to pass the test? ​ (a)  

How many students are expected to fail the test? ​ (b)  

• 840 students

• 160 students

• 84 students

• 16 students

• 877 students

• 123 students

What type of distribution is pictured?

• Right skewed

• Left skewed

• Random

• Normal
