The distribution of bladder volume in men is approximately Normal with mean 550 ml and standard deviation 100 ml. Required:
a. What percent of men have a bladder volume smaller than 450 ml?
b. Between what volumes do the middle 95% of men’s bladders fall?
c. What proportion of male bladders are between 500 and 600 ml?
d. What volumes do the middle 90% of men’s bladder fall?

a) 15.866%

b) Middle 95% = 350 ml to 750 ml

c) 0.3829

d) Middle 90% of men’s bladder fall = 385.5ml to 714.5 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score formula

z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.

The distribution of bladder volume in men is approximately Normal with mean 550 ml and standard deviation 100 ml.

Required:

a. What percent of men have a bladder volume smaller than 450 ml?

z = 450 - 550/100

=-1

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<450) = 0.15866

Convert to percentage

0.15866 × 100

= 15.866%

b. Between what volumes do the middle 95% of men’s bladders fall?

Middle 95% falls between 2 standard deviation of the mean

μ ± 2σ

μ - 2σ

550 - 2(100)

= 550 - 200

= 350 ml

μ + 2σ

= 550 + 2(100)

= 550 + 200

= 750 ml

Middle 95% = 350 ml to 750 ml

c. What proportion of male bladders are between 500 and 600 ml?

For 500ml

z = 500 - 550/100

= -0.5

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 500) = 0.30854

For 600ml

z = 600 - 550/100

= 0.5

Probabilty value from Z-Table:

P(x = 600) = 0.69146

Proportion of male bladders are between 500 and 600 ml

P(x = 600) - P(x = 500)

0.69146 - 0.30854

= 0.38292

≈ 0.3829

d. What volumes do the middle 90% of men’s bladder fall?

The z score for middle 90% + / – 1.645

Hence,

1.645 = x - 550/100

1.645 × 100 = x - 550

164.5 + 550 = x

x = 714.5 ml

-1.645 = x - 550/100

-1.645 × 100 = x - 550

- 164.5 + 550 = x

x = 385.5ml

Middle 90% of men’s bladder fall = 385.5ml to 714.5 ml

answer: b)

step-by-step explanation:

its a dot plot because since the score is not high numbers.

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
