The random variable X has a uniform distribution with values between the interval 37 to 41. What is the mean and standard deviation of X?
What is NOT true about normal distribution?
We can expect approximately 99.7% of the possible outcomes to fall within three standard deviations above and below the mean
We can expect approximately half of the possible outcomes to be positive and half to be negative
We can expect approximately 95% of the possible outcomes to fall within two standard deviations above and below the mean
It is completely defined by two numbers: mean and standard deviation
It is bell shaped and symmetric
Compared to the area between z = 1.00 and z = 1.25, the area between z = 2.00 and z = 2.25 in the standard normal distribution will be:
A- smaller
B- larger
C- the same
D- impossible to compare without knowing μ and σ

- Use Excels functions (not @RISK) to generate 1000 random numbers from a normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 10. Then freeze these random numbers. a. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of these random numbers. Are they approximately what you would expect? b. What fraction of these random numbers are within k standard deviations of the mean? Answer for k = 1; for k = 2; for k = 3. Are the answers close to what they should be (about 68% for k = 1, about 95% for k = 2, and over 99% for k = 3)? c. Create a histogram of the random numbers using about 10 bins of your choice. Does this histogram have approximately the shape you would expect?arrow_forwardDilberts Department Store is trying to determine how many Hanson T-shirts to order. Currently the shirts are sold for 21, but at later dates the shirts will be offered at a 10% discount, then a 20% discount, then a 40% discount, then a 50% discount, and finally a 60% discount. Demand at the full price of 21 is believed to be normally distributed with mean 1800 and standard deviation 360. Demand at various discounts is assumed to be a multiple of full-price demand. These multiples, for discounts of 10%, 20%, 40%, 50%, and 60% are, respectively, 0.4, 0.7, 1.1, 2, and 50. For example, if full-price demand is 2500, then at a 10% discount customers would be willing to buy 1000 T-shirts. The unit cost of purchasing T-shirts depends on the number of T-shirts ordered, as shown in the file P10_36.xlsx. Use simulation to determine how many T-shirts the company should order. Model the problem so that the company first orders some quantity of T-shirts, then discounts deeper and deeper, as necessary, to sell all of the shirts.arrow_forwardThe output distribution form(s) of the input distribution(s) are generally fairly straightforward to predict (s).
