I. True or False. Write TRUE if the statement is correct otherwise FALSE. (1point each)
1. In the normal distribution, the higher the standard deviation the taller the graph. FALSE
2. The x=μ is at the central value of standard random variable. TRUE
3. The standard deviation in probability density function for X is 0. FALSE
4. The area of z=2.78 is 89.50% FALSE
5. Approximately 68.26% of the values in the distribution is within two standard deviations of the
mean. FALSE
6. The area under the standard normal curve between 0 and 2.58 is 47.72% FALSE
7. In normal distribution, the maximum point on the curve occurs at mode. TRUE
8. The normal random distribution has a mean of 1 and standard deviation of 0. FALSE
9. The graph of a normal distribution is a bell-shaped curve with one inflection points. FALSE
10. The standard normal distribution table to be used in this course gives areas under the standard normal
curve for the variable Z ranging from negative to a positive number z. FALSE

III. Computation. Show your solution and box your final answer. (2 points each)
1. Compute the z-value that corresponds to each of the following scores up to two decimal places.
a. x = 90 ; μ = 82 ; σ = 6 -----Z= 1.33
b. x = 77; s = 7; x = 58 -----Z= 2.71
c. x = 50 ; μ = 80 ; σ = 4 ------ Z= -7.5
2. Find the area from the mean (0) to the corresponding z-score.
a. Find the area of the region to the left of z= -1.85 ----A= 3.22%
b. Find the area of the region to the left of z= 1.28 -----A= 89.97%
IV. Word Problem. Solve the following and interpret the result: (5 points each)
The scores of a group of students in a standardized test are normally distributed with a mean of 60 and a
standard deviation of 6.
a. How many percent of the students got below 65? ----a=79.67%
b. What part of the group scored between 43 and 78? ----A= 99.64%
c. If there were 200 students who took the test, how many students scored higher than 80? ----
A=0.05% ---- 200x0.05%=0.; NO STUDENT GOT A HIGHER SCORE THAN 80.
