TEST I. TRUE OR FALSE: Write TRUE if the statement is correct, otherwise, write FALSE. Strictly no erasure. (10 pts.)
___________ 1. The mean and standard deviation of a Normal Distribution are equal.
___________ 2. The graph of a normal distribution is bell-shaped.
___________ 3. If the mean is 1 and the standard deviation is 0, then the distribution is a Standard Normal Distribution.
___________ 4. The curve of Normal distribution is symmetric around the mean and asymptotic to the vertical axis.
___________ 5. The total area under the normal curve is 1 or 0.5 on each side from the mean.
___________ 6. Raw score measures the distance of any particular Z-score form the mean in standard deviation units.
___________ 7. Given a mean of 54 and a standard deviation of 6, the raw score which is two and a half standard
deviation
below the mean is 69.
___________ 8. Given a mean of 63 and a standard deviation of 8, the raw score 45 is 2.25 standard deviation below the
mean.
___________ 9. The area to the left of z = 2 comprises 97.725 % of the total area of a standard normal distribution.
___________ 10. The area between the mean and the first standard deviation to its right is 0.34134

TEST II. AREA UNDER THE NORMAL CURVE: Find the total area of the following and illustrate the graph. (10 pts.)

1. To the left of z = 2.09 2. To the right of 1.18 3. Between z = -2.37 and z = 2.01

4. To the left of the mean and to right of z = 2 5. Between z = 2 and z = -1 and to the left of –
3.15

TEST III. STANDARD SCORE: given the illustration on the right, convert the following: (5 pts.)

A. Raw score to Standard Score

1. 258 from Test X
2. 49 from Test Y
3. 126 from Test X

B. Standard Score to Raw Score

4. – 0.9 from Test X
5. 3.2 from Test Y
TEST IV. PROBLEM INVOLVING NORMAL DISTRIBUTION. Solve the following problems:

1. Scores on a scholarship aptitude exam are normally distributed with a mean of 72 and a standard deviation of 8.
a. What is the probability that a randomly selected applicant will score above 60? (2 pts.)
b. What is the probability that a randomly selected applicant will score below 70? (2 pts.)
c. What is the probability that a randomly selected applicant will score between 68 and 84? (3 pts.)

2. The Average annual salary for all teachers in a certain country is $47,750. Assume that the distribution is normal
and the standard deviation is $5,680. Find the probability that a randomly selected teacher earns between $35,000
and $45,000 a year. (3 pts.)

3. The scores in Final Test in Math of all students in a certain class are normally distributed. If the population mean
is 50 and the population standard deviation is 8, what is the value of the raw score x that leaves 12.1% of the area
to the right of the z – score of x? (2 pts.)

4. Given a normal distribution with population mean ( μ) of 42 and population variance (σ 2) of 16, find the raw
scores that bound the middle 89.9% of the distribution. (3 pts.)
