2) For a normal distribution with µ = $18 ,565 and Q1 = $15 ,514 , estimate the value of σ
(rounded to the nearest dollar).
3) A normal distribution has µ =110 points and σ = 12 points. Find the standardized value of
a) 128 points
b) 100 points
c) 110 points
d) 71 points
4) In a normal distribution with µ = 83 .2 gal and σ = 4.6 gal, find the data value corresponding
to each of the following standardized values
a) 2
b) -1.5
c) -0.43
d) 0
5) In a normal distribution with standard deviation σ = 15 , the data value 50 has a standardized
value of 3. Find the mean µ .
6) 2500 students take a college entrance exam. The scores on the exam have an approximately
normal distribution with mean µ = 52 points and standard deviation σ = 11 points.

b) Draw a stem-n-leaf chart and then make a histogram on your own paper.
4) Packaged foods sold at supermarkets are not always the weight indicated on the package.
Variability always crops up in the manufacturing and packaging process. Suppose that the exact
weight of a “12-ounce” bag of potato chips is a random variable that has an approximately
normal distribution with µ =12 ounces and σ = 0.5 ounce. If a “12-ounce” bag of potato chips
is chosen at random what are the chances that
