Statistics and Probability
Learning Activity Sheet 4
1. If the scores in a Probability and Statistics test are normally distributed with a mean of 25
and standard deviation of 3.5. What is the z-score for a score of 30?
2. Gracia, an ALS student, obtained a z-score of 2.35 in an achievement test that is normally
distributed with a mean grade of 83 and standard deviation of 5. What was Gracia’s grade in the
achievement test?
3. Francis Leo and Romy who are best friends took a college entrance examination. The
mean score and standard deviation of the examination are 115 and 12, respectively. If Francis
Leo and Romy obtained z-scores of 1.5 and -0.95 respectively, what was their scores in the
examination?
4. The velocities of cars in express way are normally distributed with a mean of 80 km/hr and
standard deviation of 8 km/hr. Jessie’s velocity has a z-score of 2.5, what was his velocity?
5. The Enhance Community Quarantine (ECQ) on some places was lifted by our President
Rodrigo Roa Duterte last May 15, 2020. Suppose that after the said ECQ, one of the dieticians of
well-known company conducted the survey about the effect of home quarantine on the health
of the Filipino people. He found out that average weight for women is 60 kg with a standard
deviation of 4 kg. a. If the weights are normally distributed, what is the z-score of a woman with a
weight of 70.
b. What is the z score of a woman with a weight of 50 kg?
c. How many kilograms will be corresponds to the z score of 0.5 of the weight of woman?
6. The average number of calories in a 1.8-ounce chocolate bar is 230. Suppose that the
distribution of calories is approximately normal with a standard deviation of 10.
a. Find the probability that a randomly selected chocolate bar will have less than 200 calories.
b. Find the probability that a randomly selected chocolate bar will have greater than 195 calories.
c. What is the percentage that a cholate bar is randomly selected between 200 calories and 250
calories?
