Suppose z is the standard normal random variable. Use Excel to calculate the following:
 a. P(z  2.5)
  b. P(0  z  2.5)
  c. P(2  z  2)
  d. P(z  0.38)
  e. P(z  1.62)
  f. z value with 0.05 in the lower tail
  g. z value with 0.05 in the upper tail

Question 2

Fifty students are enrolled in an Economics class. After the first examination, a random sample of five papers was selected. The grades were 60, 75, 80, 70, and 90.
 a. Calculate the estimate of the standard error of the mean.
  b. What assumption must be made before we can determine an interval for the mean grade of all the students in the class? Explain why.
  c. Assume the assumption of part (b) is met. Provide a 90 confidence interval for the mean grade of all the students in the class.
  d. If there were 200 students in the class, what would be the 90 confidence interval for the mean grade of all the students in the class?

Answer to Question 1

a. P(z  2.5) =NORM.S.DIST(2.5,TRUE)
b. P(0  z  2.5) =NORM.S.DIST(2.5,TRUE)-NORM.S.DIST(0,TRUE)
c. P(2  z  2) =NORM.S.DIST(2,TRUE)-NORM.S.DIST(-2,TRUE)
d. P(z  0.38) =NORM.S.DIST(-0.38,TRUE)
e. P(z  1.62) =1-NORM.S.DIST(1.62,TRUE)
f. z value with 0.05 in the lower tail =NORM.S.INV(0.05)
g. z value with 0.05 in the upper tail =NORM.S.INV(0.95)

Answer to Question 2

a. 4.79
b. Since the sample is small (n < 30) and  is estimated from s, we must assume the distribution of all the grades is normal.
c. 64.783 to 85.217
d. 64.34 to 85.66

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
