X =24 μ= 38 σ= 8 15 16.
X =50 μ= 45 σ= 6 17. 18.

III. PROBLEM SOLVING. Graph and find the required area under the given standard scores.
Assume that z is the standard score of a normally distributed set of data. Determine the
value of the following:
19-21. P (Z > 2.1)
 =

22-24. P (-1.13 < Z < 2.08)

25-27. P (0.05 < Z < 2.99)

28-30. P (0.03 < Z < 2.65)

Analyze the problem and write the complete solution.

31-35. The length of life of an instrument produced by a machine has a normal distribution with a

produced by this machine will last,
a) less than 7 months.
b) between 7 and 12 months.

36-40. The time taken to assemble a car in a certain plant is a random variable having a normal
