H3 Statistics 11°

This document contains statistics problems involving normal distributions and linear combinations of random variables. It asks the reader to: 1) Fill in blanks about means and variances of sums and differences of normal variables. 2) Explain why the sign is always positive in the formula for the variance of a difference of random variables. 3) Find the probability that a student achieves a course grade higher than 120, given test scores and their distributions. It also provides exercises involving calculating probabilities based on sums of normal variables representing things like travel time, time at a club, and total suitcase weight at an airport.

Q1 Fill in the blanks.

If the variables X1 and X2 are independent and normally distributed, then the
distributions of

(X1 + X2) and (X1 – X2) are also normal.

The means of these distributions are ______________ and _____________ , respectively.

Be careful when you come to their variances, since you may only use the result that

Var(X1 ± X2) = _____________

Exercises

1. Robert Fisher, a keen chess player, visits his local club most days. The total time taken to drive to the
club and back is modelled by a normal variable with mean 25 minutes and standard deviation 3
minutes. The time spent at the chess club is also modelled by a normal variable with mean 120
minutes and standard deviation 10 minutes. Find the probability that on a certain evening Mr Fisher
is away from home for more than 2 and ½ hours. (4)

2. In the manufacture of a bridge made entirely from wood, circular pegs have to fit into circular
holes. The diameters of the pegs are normally distributed with mean 1.60 cm and standard deviation
0.01 cm, while the diameters of the holes are normally distributed with mean 1.65 cm and standard
deviation 0.02 cm. What is the probability that a randomly chosen peg will not fit into a randomly
chosen hole? (4)

3. The mass, X, of a suitcase at an airport is modelled as being normally distributed, with mean 15 kg
and standard deviation 3 kg. Find the probability that a random sample of ten suitcases weighs more
than 154 kg. (4)
