Description

Competency

Demonstrate the use of the normal distribution, the standard normal distribution, and the central limit theorem for calculating areas under the normal curve and exploring these concepts in real life applications.

Scenario

Frank has only had a brief introduction to statistics when he was in high school 12 years ago, and that did not cover inferential statistics. He is not confident in his ability to answer some of the problems posed in the course.

As Frank's tutor, you need to provide Frank with guidance and instruction on a worksheet he has partially filled out. Your job is to help him understand and comprehend the material. You should not simply be providing him with an answer as this will not help when it comes time to take the test. Instead, you will be providing a step-by-step breakdown of the problems including an explanation on why you did each step and using proper terminology.

What to Submit

To complete this assignment, you must first download the spreadsheet, and then complete it by including the following items on the spreadsheet:

  • Incorrect Answers
    • Correct any wrong answers. You must also explain the error performed in the problem in your own words.
  • Partially Finished Work
    • Complete any partially completed work. Make sure to provide step-by-step instructions including explanations.
  • Blank Questions
    • Show how to complete any blank questions by providing step-by-step instructions including explanations.

Your step-by-step breakdown of the problems, including explanations, should be present within the Excel workbook provided.

Instructions: The following questions on the next six tabs are shown to you by a student who is asking for help. Your job is showing the student how to solve each problem in detail. You are expected to explain all of the steps in your own words. Key: - This problem is an incorrect. Your job is to find the errors, correct the errors, and explain what they did wrong. - This problem is partially finished. You must complete the problem by showing all steps and explain your corrections - This problem is blank. You must start from scratch and explain how you will approach the problem, how you solve it, who is asking for help. Your job is to help the student walk through the problems by of the steps in your own words. plain what they did wrong. explain your corrections. ch the problem, how you solve it, and explain why you took each step. Assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Those tests follow a standard normal dis the probability that the bone density score for this subject is between -1.07 and 2.07. Student’s partially finished answer: We first need to find the probability for each of these z-scores using Excel. For -1.07, the probability from the left is 2.07, the probability from the left is 0.980774. Show your calculations using Excel functions in the area to the right of this text box and finish answering the problem below. ests follow a standard normal distribution.
