AP Statistics  Normal Distribution Chapter 2 Practice Questions

1 ) What percent of the data is contained within +1 and -2  standard deviations of the mean?  81.5%
2 ) If the interquartile range of a data set is 200 what is the best estimate of standard deviation? 150
3 ) If the average verbal SAT score is 500 and the standard deviation is 100, what % of the SAT test takers score above 700? 2.5%
4 ) The average IQ in the U.S.A. is  100 with a standard deviation of 15 and is roughly normally distributed. What percent of the population has an IQ above 70? 97.5%
5 ) Using the normal distribution, what is the probability of finding an individual with an IQ between 85 and 145?  83.85%
___ 6 ) What is the smallest amount of data contained within plus or minus 3 sigma of the mean, given any distribution?
a) 34%        b) 68%       c) 75%        d) 89%        e) 93%
7 ) Where are the 2 inflection points found on a normal distribution? Plus or minus 1 sigma
8 ) What is the z-score corresponding to Q1 of a box and whiskers plot? -2/3
9 ) For normally distributed data a normal quantile plot will appear to be ________________.  linear
10 ) Draw a box a box and whiskers plot for normally distributed data. The plot is approximately symetrical and each whiskers is about 1.5 times the length of the box.

11 ) Draw an ogive for a normal distribution.
12 ) Given the following 5 number summary  2, 3, 7, 11, 12 is the distribution normal? No, the box is wider than the whiskers
13 ) Given a normal quantile plot, how can you tell if the distribution is normal? The plot will look like a straight line.
14 ) What is a density curve? A mathematical model of a distribution.
15 ) What is the difference between pdf and cdf?  pdf = height at a point, cdf cumulative area
16 ) What is the actual range of a normal distribution? infinity
17 ) What is the estimated range for normally distributed data? 6 sigma
18 ) Given  that IQR = 6, what is the standard deviation. (assume normally distributed data)  4.5
19 ) Given the following 5 number summary  1, 6, 7, 8, 13 draw an ogive. Is the data normally distributed? Why or why not? answer
20 ) For normally distributed data the mean = 50 and the standard deviation = 10. Draw an ogive for the data. Find the IQR. answer

Check out Articles by Mr. Rogers:

Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics is one of the most humorous, entertaining, and readable physics books available, yet is filled with all kinds of useful content and clear explanations for high school, 1st semester college physics students, and film buffs.

It explains all 3 of Newton's laws, the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics, momentum, energy, gravity, circular motion and a host of other topics all through the lens of Hollywood movies using Star Trek and numerous other films.

If you want to learn how to think physics and have a lot of fun in the process, this is the book for you!

 First the web site, now the book!
