F INDING S TATS B ASED ON P ROBABILITY Sacks of potatoes with a mean weight of 5 kg are packed by an automatic loader. In a test, it was found that 10% of bags were over 5.2 kg. Use this information to find the standard deviation of the process
17
M ORE F INDING S TATS B ASED ON P ROBABILITY Find the mean and the standard deviation of a normally distributed random variables X, if P(x > 50) = 0.2 and P(x < 20) = 0.3 SKIP

M EASURING L OCATION IN A D ISTRIBUTION Draw a dotplot for class data, displaying the height of students in a class.
19
The pth percentile of a distribution is the value with p percent of the observations less than or equal to it. Percentiles separate data sets into 100 equal parts. The percentile rank of a data value is the percentage of data values that are less than or equal to that value.
20
1. For Brett, who is 74 inches tall, find his percentile rank? 2. For Ms. Watts, who is 69 inches tall, find her percentile rank?
21
3. When the heights of 250 9th grade boys were measured, Jaden found that his height placed him at the 82nd percentile. Which of the following gives the number of boys that were at or below Jaden’s height? (A) 82 (B) 28 (C) 45 (D) 205 4. Landon took a competitive spelling test with 600 other area students. When the results were announced, Landon found out he scored in the 93rd percentile. Which of the following gives the number of students who did better on the spelling test than Landon? (A) 7 (B) 65 (C) 93 (D) 42
