I don't know if my answer was wrong yet, but I got .28. Above the mean is + and below is -. I will check the chart in my book for your answer.

#453 Re: Help Me ! » Normal Distribution Using z-scores » 2011-04-09 07:36:01

Sorry it's supposed to be 451 g. and the other number is :
no more than 453 g
my error

Here's a good one for Sat.

A box of cereal contains 452 g with a standard deviation of 10.2 g. Find the probability
that a box contains more than 460 g. Assume a normal distribution. Use a x-score rounded to 2 decimal places.

Thanks.

I will post a problem in a new topic. I have been getting a few right this morning, so there is light at the end of the road. haha

Hello, and good morning. I don't remember since i typed it in and it was correct last night. The table was very helpful, if I can read it accurately.
How do I differentiate between below the mean and below it. I know to the left is negative and right positive.

I am working on more math. So many things to ask. I have a quiz on this stuff than another test online.

#458 Re: Help Me ! » Help. Deviation, z scores and Data Values » 2011-04-08 15:47:30

Thank you so much. Everything helps push me along. Test next week on this stuff.

#459 Re: Help Me ! » Help. Deviation, z scores and Data Values » 2011-04-08 11:02:07

So this is a bit of Trig. and Algebra combined or what is it? And the chart is great, but how do i find my way around it, mean, stand. dev., percentage. etc? I don't mean to sound stupid.

#460 Re: Help Me ! » Help. Deviation, z scores and Data Values » 2011-04-08 10:19:00

yes, i want to know how they are solved. I have a test on five chapters next Friday.

#461 Re: Help Me ! » Help. Deviation, z scores and Data Values » 2011-04-08 10:17:51

z = -1.6 and z = - 0.8 is ____%.
How do you do this? Can u explain it for me. Thanks.

#462 Re: Help Me ! » Help. Deviation, z scores and Data Values » 2011-04-08 10:11:27

Hello, it took 13. Thank you so very much.

#463 Re: Help Me ! » Help. Deviation, z scores and Data Values » 2011-04-08 10:10:22

I don't know why but it's not taking that answer. The online homework site is picky about how it wants the answer.
It just said to round to the nearest integar.

#464 Re: Help Me ! » Help. Deviation, z scores and Data Values » 2011-04-08 09:58:11

Thanks, it showed 18%. It rounded it up. It gave me another one when I missed it.
z= - 1.4 and z = - 0.8 is ___%.

#465 Re: Help Me ! » Help. Deviation, z scores and Data Values » 2011-04-08 08:58:28

yes. Can this one be solved from the graph you posted yesterday?
Find the per cent of the total area under the standard normal curve between the following z-scores.

z= -1.4 and z = -0.65
The per cent of the total area between z= -1.4 and z = -.65 is _____%.
Thanks.

I have been here a short time. Bobbym seems like a professor or a retired one. smile Then again, he could be in college and just very good at math.

#467 Re: Help Me ! » Standard Normal Curve » 2011-04-07 13:08:01

I didn't know how to use the graph you posted, so I just kept plugging away with the calculator. Thanks so much.

#468 Re: Help Me ! » Standard Normal Curve » 2011-04-07 12:43:17

Don't know. I will go in as a junior so will have to see.

#469 Re: Help Me ! » Standard Normal Curve » 2011-04-07 12:42:06

The first one, .4  i think it was .0155, later i had a problem with .8 that was 29%.

#470 Re: Help Me ! » Standard Normal Curve » 2011-04-07 12:20:56

I am only taking these 3 last units of math because it is required. I grad. with associate of fine arts degree in about four wks. Then onto a four yr. university where my major will be Creative writing/Journalism. They did not have a major in Journalism here, which is my thing.
I put all required math till last, so this is basically why i am against the wall. I passed Algebra last semester. Then the last required 3 this semester should do me in. I get by with it and may come out with a B, but that will be the best I can pull off in one of them.

#471 Re: Help Me ! » Standard Normal Curve » 2011-04-07 12:12:32

The answer was 29%. I still don't understand it. I get half the problem right and there at the last part do something wrong.

#472 Re: Help Me ! » Standard Normal Curve » 2011-04-07 09:31:30

Oh wow! I will have to look at this one to see how it's solved. I don't know how you did that.
Thanks much.

#473 Re: Help Me ! » Help. Deviation, z scores and Data Values » 2011-04-07 08:03:40

Okay, I reworked that one and understand it better; I think. Both sides are being multiplied then divided by five.

Thank you in advance!

Find the percentage of area under the standard normal curve that is specified:
Between z=0 and z = -04.
The percentage of area under the standard normal curve is_______%

Second problem:

Find the percentage of area under a normal curve between the mean and -0.08 deviations from the mean.
Percentage from the area  under the normal curve between the mean and -.08 standard deviations from the mean is ____%

Third problem:

Find the percentage of the total area under the standard normal curve between the following z scores:

z= - 1.4 and z = -0.65 is ____%.

#475 Re: Help Me ! » Help. Deviation, z scores and Data Values » 2011-04-07 07:38:44

It's the correct answer for sure.

Truthfully, i don't know if i understand it or not. I am going to post more problems. I wish I had found this forum last semester when I had Algebra. It's a wonderful forum with genius mathematicians.
