NORMAL DISTRIBUTION TABLE

According to a manufacturer, the average weight of a cereal box they produced is 20 ounces
with a standard deviation of 0.5 ounce.

1. If a random sample of 1000 boxes are selected, what is the probability that the weight is
less than 21 ounces

Problem: Formula:
𝑥−μ
P(x<21)? 𝑧= σ

Given: Solution:
21−20
μ = 20 𝑧 = 0.5
σ = 0.5 = 2 or 0.9772
x = 21 = 97.72%

2. What is the probability that the cereal boxes weigh more than 21 ounces?

Problem: Solution:
P(x>21)? 1st step:
21−20
𝑧 = 0.5
Given: = 2 or 0.9722
μ = 20 = 97.22%
σ = 0.5
x = 21 2nd step:
1 (total area under
Formula: the curve) - 0.9722
𝑥−μ
𝑧= σ 1 - 0.9722 or 0.0228

= 2.28%
 3. What is the probability that the cereal boxes weigh between 19.95 and 21.5 ounces?

Problem: Solution:
P(19.95<x<21.5)? 1st step:
19.95−20
𝑧 = 0.5
Given: = -0.1 or 0.4602
μ = 20 = 46.02%
σ = 0.5
x = 19.95 and 21.5 2nd step:
21.5−20
Formula: 𝑧 = 0.5
𝑥−μ
𝑧= σ
= 3 or 0.9987

= 99.87%

3rd step:
0.9987 - 0.4602 = 0.5385
= 53.85%

LINEAR REGRESSION
A biologist is studying field mice particularly if there is a relationship between the caloric intake
of a rat and its body mass. The caloric intake of rats varies with body mass as shown below.

Let x denote the body mass (in kg) of a rat and let y denote the caloric intake (cal h-1) of the rat.

1. Find correlation coefficient (r), correct to 4 decimal places.

∑𝑥 = 67.1;
2
∑𝑥 = 476.93;
∑𝑦 = 41.2;
2
∑𝑦 = 168.7;
∑𝑥𝑦 = 280.57;
n = 11

Coefficient Correlation:
𝑛∑𝑥𝑦 − (∑𝑥)(∑𝑦)
𝑟= 2 2 2 2
[𝑛(∑𝑥 ) − (∑𝑥) ][𝑛(∑𝑦 ) − (∑𝑦)
 11(280.57) − (67.1)(41.2)
𝑟= 2 2
[11(476.93) − (67.1) ][11(168.7) − (41.2)

𝑟 = 0. 9377758
𝑟 = 0. 9378

The value of correlation coefficient is 0.9378; nature is positive and degree is very strong.
Positive or direct linear correlation exists between the variable x and y.
Therefore, there is a strong correlation between the body mass and the caloric intake of rat.

2. Is there a linear correlation between these results? (Show the scatter diagram.)

Yes, the relationship between body mass (kg) and calorie intake (cal h-1) is linear as the
points on the scatterplot follow a somewhat straight line pattern.

3. Determine the equation of the regression line of caloric intake or body mass, expressing
the slope and y-intercept. (Plot the estimated regression line on the scatter diagram.)

∑𝑥 = 476.93;
∑𝑦 = 41.2;

𝑚 = 0. 433

(∑𝑦)(∑𝑥 ) − (∑𝑥)(∑𝑥𝑦)
𝑏= 2 2
𝑛(∑𝑥 ) − (∑𝑥)
or 𝑏 = 𝑦 − 𝑚𝑥

(41.2)(476.93) − (67.1)(280.57)
𝑏= 2
11(476.93) − (67.1)
𝑏 = 1. 106812132
𝑏 = 1. 107

𝑦 = 0. 433𝑥 + 1. 107

4. Estimate the caloric intake when the body mass is 4.8kg. (Show graph.)

Let x = 4.8
𝑦 = 0. 433(4. 8) + 1. 107
𝑦 = 3. 1854 𝑘𝑖𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑠
