Exercise 2
The scores on the entrance exam at an exclusive university in Bellevue are normally distributed with a mean score of 150 and a standard deviation equals to 40.
Sketch the distribution of the scores (you can draw it manually), find the probability and show your calculations, that a randomly selected applicant has a score:
a. Under 100 b. Under 50 c. Over 180
d. Between 110 and 200
e. Within 1.5 standard deviations of the mean
f. What is the score that 10% of the applicants have lower than it?
g. At what value should the lowest passing score be set if the university wishes only 25% of those taking the test to pass?

All applicants to medical school are required to take an entrance exam. Historically, scores on the exam are known to be normally distributed with mean 99 and standard deviation 8. This year, we observe that a sample of 16 applicants obtains an average score of 97.92. Does this provide evidence that the average of all this year's applicants is less than 99? To answer this question, we do a hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.01. Check all of...

All applicants to medical school are required to take an entrance exam. Historically, scores on the exam are known to be normally distributed with mean 62 and standard deviation 8. This year, we observe that a sample of 17 applicants obtains an average score of 59.91. Does this provide evidence that the average of all this year's applicants is different from 62? To answer this question, we do a hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.01. Check all of...
