#1. Z is N 17. I distributed. Find (a) P( Z < .6); (b) P( Z <= -.03);
(c) P( .12 < Z <= 2.14); (d) P( -1.67 <= Z < 1.20)
#2. X is N -10.16 distributed. Find (a) P(X> -12); (b) P(-ll < X <=
-8); (c) P(IX+ 101<2); (d) P(IX+lll> 1.5)
#4. Suppose that the length X of a random bolt produced by machine A is
1.2 em, on the average, with a standard deviation of .3 em. Assuming that
the length X is normally distributed, Find (a) P (X < 1.4); (b) P( X > 1.3);
(c) P( I X - 1.21 >.2)
#6. X is the actual weight of a bag of concrete (labeled "80 pound bag").
Suppose that E(X) = 81 and 6x. =2. Let Y be the average weigth of 10
bags bought: Y=(X + --------- + X ) / 10. (a) What is the distribution ofY
assuming that each bag's weight is normally distributed? Find (b) P (Y =>
80); (c) P( IY - 81.5 1<1).

#1. Given that Z follows Normal distribution with mean zero and standard deviation 1. Symbolically
a) P(Z < 0.60) = 0.7257
b) P( Z ≤ - 0.03) = 0.4880
c) P( 0.12 < Z ≤ 2.14) = P( Z < 2.14) - P( Z < 0.12) = 0.9838 - 0.5478 = 0.4361
d) P ( -1.67 ≤ Z < 1.20) = P( Z < 1.20 ) - P( Z < -1.67) = 0.8849 - 0. 0475 = 0.8375
Note: Note that for continuous distributions P ( Z < k ) = P( Z ≤ ...

Measures of Central Tendency
This quiz evaluates the students understanding of the measures of central tendency seen in statistics. This quiz is specifically designed to incorporate the measures of central tendency as they relate to psychological research.
Know Your Statistical Concepts
Each question is a choice-summary multiple choice question that presents you with a statistical concept and then 4 numbered statements. You must decide which (if any) of the numbered statements is/are true as they relate to the statistical concept.
Measures of Central Tendency
Tests knowledge of the three main measures of central tendency, including some simple calculation questions.
