3) Suppose adults in a particular sleep 8 hours a night with a standard deviation of .5 hours. Using the normal curve table, a. What percentage of adults sleep below 7.4 hours? b. What percentage of adults sleep below 6.8 hours or above 8.1 hours? c. What percentage of adults sleep between 7.5 and 8.4 hours? d. How many hours does someone need to sleep to be included in the top 10%? e. How many hours does someone need to sleep to drive to be included in the bottom 25%? f. Explain your answers to a person who is familiar with mean, standard deviation, and Z scores, but not with normal curve percentages.

According to the American Time Use Survey, the amount of sleep that 20-24 year old women get per night has a mean of 9.3 hours and a standard deviation. What is the sampling distribution for the mean amount of sleep for 100 24-year-old women? What is the probability that the average amount of sleep per night for a random sample of 100 24-year-old women will be greater than 9.25 hours? What is the probability that the average amount of sleep per night for a random sample of 100 24-year-old women will be between 9.45 and 9.55 hours?
