Normal Distribution Lab

Name:

## I student learning outcome:

* The student will compare and contrast empirical data and a theoretical distribution.

* Find Probabilities for specific Normal Distributions

## Ii the situation

It is generally accepted that the mean body temperature is 98.6 degrees. If a sample of size 100 resulted in a sample mean of 98.3 degrees with a standard deviation of 0.64 degrees. Does this sample suggest that the mean body temperature is actually lower than 98.6 degrees?

## Iii simulation: to answer the question, complete the following simulation.

Using Minitab (Calc ->Random Data->Normal), generate 100 values from a normally distributed population with a mean of 98.6 degrees and a standard deviation of 0.64 degrees (using the sample standard deviation given in the situation since the population deviation is unknown). Repeat the simulation 9 more times for a total of 10. (Requesting the data be stored in c2-c10 will generate the remaining 9 columns of data with one command. )

## Iv data collection

Use Stats ->Basic Stats ->Display Descriptive and select all 10 columns to determine the sample mean for each data set. Record the values below and include the session window with this lab.

${\overline{x}}_{1}$ = _________ ${\overline{x}}_{2}$ = _________ ${\overline{x}}_{3}$ = _________ ${\overline{x}}_{4}$ = _________

${\overline{x}}_{5}$ = _________ ${\overline{x}}_{6}$ = _________ ${\overline{x}}_{7}$ = _________ ${\overline{x}}_{8}$ = _________

${\overline{x}}_{9}$ = _________ ${\overline{x}}_{10}$ = _________

## V analyze the data – using complete sentences.

Based on your simulation, do you think that a sample of size 100 with a mean temperature of 98.3 is reasonable? Answer using 2 – 3 complete sentences.

## Vi finding probabilities for normal distribution

For each of the following, first write the question in symbolic form and then using Minitab (Calc ->Probability Distributions ->Normal), find the probabilities. (attach your session window to this lab)_____________________

1. Given a population with a normal distribution, a mean of 0, and a standard deviation of 1, find the probability of a value less than 1.25 _____________________

2. Given a population with a normal distribution, a mean of 25, and a standard deviation of 3, find the probability of a value greater than 21.25. _____________________

3. Given a population with a normal distribution, a mean of 100, and a standard deviation of 20, find the probability of a value between 87 and 122. _____________________

4. Given a population with a normal distribution, a mean of 150, and a standard deviation of 35, what value has an area of 0.34 to the left? _____________________

5. Given a population with a normal distribution, a mean of 150, and a standard deviation of 35, what value has an area of 0.34 to the right? _____________________

6. Given a population with a normal distribution, a mean of 15, and a standard deviation of 2, what value has an area of 0.8 to the left? _____________________

7. Given a population with a normal distribution, a mean of 200, and a standard deviation of 15, which two values form the upper and lower boundary of the middle 80%?___________________

what is the stm
is there industrial application of fullrenes. What is the method to prepare fullrene on large scale.?
Rafiq
industrial application...? mmm I think on the medical side as drug carrier, but you should go deeper on your research, I may be wrong
Damian
How we are making nano material?
what is a peer

Santosh
Do u think that Graphene and Fullrene fiber can be used to make Air Plane body structure the lightest and strongest. Rafiq
Rafiq
what is differents between GO and RGO?
Mahi
what is simplest way to understand the applications of nano robots used to detect the cancer affected cell of human body.? How this robot is carried to required site of body cell.? what will be the carrier material and how can be detected that correct delivery of drug is done Rafiq
Rafiq
what is Nano technology ?
write examples of Nano molecule?
Bob
The nanotechnology is as new science, to scale nanometric
brayan
nanotechnology is the study, desing, synthesis, manipulation and application of materials and functional systems through control of matter at nanoscale
Damian
Is there any normative that regulates the use of silver nanoparticles?
what king of growth are you checking .?
Renato
What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.
Joe
anyone know any internet site where one can find nanotechnology papers?
research.net
kanaga
sciencedirect big data base
Ernesto
Introduction about quantum dots in nanotechnology
what does nano mean?
nano basically means 10^(-9). nanometer is a unit to measure length.
Bharti
do you think it's worthwhile in the long term to study the effects and possibilities of nanotechnology on viral treatment?
absolutely yes
Daniel
how to know photocatalytic properties of tio2 nanoparticles...what to do now
it is a goid question and i want to know the answer as well

for teaching engĺish at school how nano technology help us
Anassong
How can I make nanorobot?
Lily
Do somebody tell me a best nano engineering book for beginners?
there is no specific books for beginners but there is book called principle of nanotechnology
NANO
how can I make nanorobot?
Lily
what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell
how did you get the value of 2000N.What calculations are needed to arrive at it
