The age distribution of the students in Jane's cohort is normal. Jane graduated from the college at the age of 22. she is quite a bit younger than her cohort with the mean age of graduating for her cohort being 25 with a standard deviation of 1.3. How much younger than the rest of the class is in standard deviation units? what percentage class is younger than her?

Answer #1

Given

Jane's age,

Jane is 2.31 standard deviations younger than rest of the class.

We need to find P(X < 22) =P( z < -2.31)

Using Emperical law

P(z < -2.31) = 0.0104 =1.04%b

Note : From z table of to z , area from to -2.31 is 0.0104

Therefore, 1.04% of the class is younger than her .

    The IQ scores for adults in the entire population have an approximate normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. A study done on 200 college students (ages 20 to 25) found college student age 20 to 25 have an average IQ of 105. Do college students aged 20 to 25 years old have a higher mean IQ than the rest of the population? Even if this does have statistical significance (meaning it is actually true), do you think...
