3. Assume a binomial distribution has p = ½. Let’s look at some of its probability distributions for a variety of numbers of trials...

4. n = 3

5. n = 5

6. n = 10

7. n = 25

8. n = 50

9. n = 100

18. Some Means and Standard Deviations of some Normally Distributed (“bell – shaped”) Data Sets!  American Newborn Weight 7.5 pounds1.3 pounds A former student weighed 2.3 pounds at birth. How many standard deviations below average was she? How about on the other end of the spectrum?

20. Adult IQ is normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. What percent of adults are “dull normal” (that is, have an IQ between 80 and 90)? It’s a slightly antiquated term, but let’s go with it for now.

25. What percent of adults are “dull normal” (that is, have an IQ between 80 and 90)? What percent of adults are “extremely low” (that is, have an IQ below 70)? This is the “MII” range’s new labeling. What do you have to score to get into MENSA?

26. The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies (roughly) according to a distribution that is approximately normal with a mean of 266 days and a standard deviation of 16 days. What is the cutoff for the shortest 5% of all pregnancies? This is P 5, and births shorter than these are called premature births. Labor is usually induced if an expectant mother has exceeded her due date by 2 weeks. Find the probability that a pregnancy will last more than 2 weeks past the due date.
