Assignment 3 ISI MBB9 (Corrected)

The document contains examples of calculating probabilities from normally distributed data using z-scores. It provides the mean, standard deviation and probability calculations for scores on a test, time holding one's breath, weight of apples and boxes, and human weight. For each example, it calculates the percentage of values that fall within certain ranges of the distribution based on the normal curve.
