Normal Distribution Lab

Name:

## I student learning outcome:

* The student will compare and contrast empirical data and a theoretical distribution.

* Find Probabilities for specific Normal Distributions

## Ii the situation

It is generally accepted that the mean body temperature is 98.6 degrees. If a sample of size 100 resulted in a sample mean of 98.3 degrees with a standard deviation of 0.64 degrees. Does this sample suggest that the mean body temperature is actually lower than 98.6 degrees?

## Iii simulation: to answer the question, complete the following simulation.

Using Minitab (Calc ->Random Data->Normal), generate 100 values from a normally distributed population with a mean of 98.6 degrees and a standard deviation of 0.64 degrees (using the sample standard deviation given in the situation since the population deviation is unknown). Repeat the simulation 9 more times for a total of 10. (Requesting the data be stored in c2-c10 will generate the remaining 9 columns of data with one command. )

## Iv data collection

Use Stats ->Basic Stats ->Display Descriptive and select all 10 columns to determine the sample mean for each data set. Record the values below and include the session window with this lab.

${\overline{x}}_{1}$ = _________ ${\overline{x}}_{2}$ = _________ ${\overline{x}}_{3}$ = _________ ${\overline{x}}_{4}$ = _________

${\overline{x}}_{5}$ = _________ ${\overline{x}}_{6}$ = _________ ${\overline{x}}_{7}$ = _________ ${\overline{x}}_{8}$ = _________

${\overline{x}}_{9}$ = _________ ${\overline{x}}_{10}$ = _________

## V analyze the data – using complete sentences.

Based on your simulation, do you think that a sample of size 100 with a mean temperature of 98.3 is reasonable? Answer using 2 – 3 complete sentences.

## Vi finding probabilities for normal distribution

For each of the following, first write the question in symbolic form and then using Minitab (Calc ->Probability Distributions ->Normal), find the probabilities. (attach your session window to this lab)_____________________

1. Given a population with a normal distribution, a mean of 0, and a standard deviation of 1, find the probability of a value less than 1.25 _____________________

2. Given a population with a normal distribution, a mean of 25, and a standard deviation of 3, find the probability of a value greater than 21.25. _____________________

3. Given a population with a normal distribution, a mean of 100, and a standard deviation of 20, find the probability of a value between 87 and 122. _____________________

4. Given a population with a normal distribution, a mean of 150, and a standard deviation of 35, what value has an area of 0.34 to the left? _____________________

5. Given a population with a normal distribution, a mean of 150, and a standard deviation of 35, what value has an area of 0.34 to the right? _____________________

6. Given a population with a normal distribution, a mean of 15, and a standard deviation of 2, what value has an area of 0.8 to the left? _____________________

7. Given a population with a normal distribution, a mean of 200, and a standard deviation of 15, which two values form the upper and lower boundary of the middle 80%?___________________

can someone help me with some logarithmic and exponential equations.
20/(×-6^2)
Salomon
okay, so you have 6 raised to the power of 2. what is that part of your answer
I don't understand what the A with approx sign and the boxed x mean
it think it's written 20/(X-6)^2 so it's 20 divided by X-6 squared
Salomon
I'm not sure why it wrote it the other way
Salomon
I got X =-6
Salomon
ok. so take the square root of both sides, now you have plus or minus the square root of 20= x-6
oops. ignore that.
so you not have an equal sign anywhere in the original equation?

im all ears I need to learn

right! what he said ⤴⤴⤴

what is a good calculator for all algebra; would a Casio fx 260 work with all algebra equations? please name the cheapest, thanks.
a perfect square v²+2v+_
kkk nice
algebra 2 Inequalities:If equation 2 = 0 it is an open set?
or infinite solutions?
Kim
The answer is neither. The function, 2 = 0 cannot exist. Hence, the function is undefined.

No. 7x -4y is simplified from 4x + (3y + 3x) -7y
is it 3×y ?
J, combine like terms 7x-4y
im not good at math so would this help me
yes

what is the problem that i will help you to self with?

how do you translate this in Algebraic Expressions

what is nanomaterials​ and their applications of sensors.
what is nano technology
what is system testing?
preparation of nanomaterial
Yes, Nanotechnology has a very fast field of applications and their is always something new to do with it...
what is system testing
what is the application of nanotechnology?
Stotaw
In this morden time nanotechnology used in many field . 1-Electronics-manufacturad IC ,RAM,MRAM,solar panel etc 2-Helth and Medical-Nanomedicine,Drug Dilivery for cancer treatment etc 3- Atomobile -MEMS, Coating on car etc. and may other field for details you can check at Google
Azam
anybody can imagine what will be happen after 100 years from now in nano tech world
Prasenjit
after 100 year this will be not nanotechnology maybe this technology name will be change . maybe aftet 100 year . we work on electron lable practically about its properties and behaviour by the different instruments
Azam
name doesn't matter , whatever it will be change... I'm taking about effect on circumstances of the microscopic world
Prasenjit
how hard could it be to apply nanotechnology against viral infections such HIV or Ebola?
Damian
silver nanoparticles could handle the job?
Damian
not now but maybe in future only AgNP maybe any other nanomaterials
Azam
can nanotechnology change the direction of the face of the world
At high concentrations (>0.01 M), the relation between absorptivity coefficient and absorbance is no longer linear. This is due to the electrostatic interactions between the quantum dots in close proximity. If the concentration of the solution is high, another effect that is seen is the scattering of light from the large number of quantum dots. This assumption only works at low concentrations of the analyte. Presence of stray light.
the Beer law works very well for dilute solutions but fails for very high concentrations. why?
how did you get the value of 2000N.What calculations are needed to arrive at it
