(click here for the diagram) https://nationalparalegal.edu/FileDownload.aspx?intFileID=14613) Use the standard normal distribution to find P (-2.25 < z < 0). 4) IQ test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. An individualʹs IQ score is found to be 90. Find the z-score corresponding to this value. 5) Find the z-scores for which 90% of the distributionʹs area lies between -z and z. 6) The distribution of room and board expenses per year at a four-year college is normally distributed with a mean of $5850 and standard deviation of $1125. Random samples of size 20 are drawn from this population and the mean of each sample is determined. Which of the following mean expenses would be considered unusual? 7) The amounts of time employees of a telecommunications company have worked for the distributed with a mean of 5.1 years and a standard deviation of 2.0 years. Random samples of size 18 are drawn from the population and the mean of each sample is determined.
