Answer to Problem 9WE

The value of kis 0 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The 50% of data is less than a numberk .

Formula used:

The number x is known as standardized value to z where z is provided value of normal distribution, m is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.

  x=zMσ

Calculation:

Consider the provided information that 50% of data is less than a number k .

That is 0.5 of data is less than a number k .

The total area under the curve is 1 and standard normal curve is symmetric about y -axis.

  0.50.5=0=A(k=0)

From the standard normal table area from x=0 to 0 is zero.

Thus, the 0.5 of data is less than a number 0.

Answer to Problem 9WE

The value of kis 4 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The 100% of data is less than a number k .

Formula used:

The number x is known as standardized value to z where z is provided value of normal distribution, m is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.

  x=zMσ

Calculation:

Consider the provided information that 100% of data is less than a number k .

That is 1 of data is less than a number k .

The total area under the curve is 1 and standard normal curve is symmetric about y -axis.

  |0.51|=0.5=A(k=4)

From the standard normal table area from x=0 to 4 is 0.5.

Thus, the 100% of data is less than a number 4.

c.

To determine

To calculate: The value of k if 15.87% of data is less than k .

Answer to Problem 9WE

The value of kis 1 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The 15.87% of data is less than a number k .

Formula used:

The number x is known as standardized value to z where z is provided value of normal distribution, m is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.

  x=zMσ

Calculation:

Consider the provided information that 15.87% of data is less than a number k .

That is 0.1587 of data is less than a number k .

The total area under the curve is 1 and standard normal curve is symmetric about y -axis.

  |0.50.1587|=0.3413=A(k=1)

From the standard normal table area from x=0 to 1 is 0.3413.

Thus, the 15.87% of data is less than a number 1 .

d.

To determine

To calculate: The value of k if 84.13% of data is less than k .

d.

Answer to Problem 9WE

The value of kis 1 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The 84.13% of data is less than a number k .

Formula used:

The number x is known as standardized value to z where z is provided value of normal distribution, m is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.

  x=zMσ

Calculation:

Consider the provided information that 84.13% of data is less than a number k .

That is 0.8413 of data is less than a number k .

The total area under the curve is 1 and standard normal curve is symmetric about y -axis.

  |0.50.8413|=0.3413=A(k=1)

From the standard normal table area from x=0 to 1 is 0.3413.

Thus, the 84.13% of data is less than a number 1 .
