Please pick up the 11-2 Enrichment sheet from
the cart and get started (both sides)
Tougher Probability

Carson is not having much luck lately. His car will
only start 80% of the time and his moped will only
start 60% of the time.
 Draw a tree diagram to illustrate the situation.
 Use the diagram to determine the chance that
 Both will start
 He has to take his car.
 He has to take the bus.
Tougher Probability



A box contains 3 red, 2 blue and 1 yellow marble.
Draw a tree diagram to represent drawing 2 marbles.
With replacement
Without replacement
Find the probability of getting two different
colors:
 If replacement occurs
 If replacement does not occur
Tougher Probability

A bag contains 5 red and 3 blue marbles. Two marbles
are drawn simultaneously from the bad. Determine
the probability that at least one is red.

Normal Distribution

Bell-shaped curve defined by the mean and
standard deviation of a data set.
Characteristics of a Normal
Distribution

What do the 3 curves have in common?
Characteristics of a Normal
Distribution

The curves may have different mean and/or
standard deviations but they all have the
same characteristics
 Bell-shaped continuous curve
 Symmetrical about the mean
 Mean, median and mode are the same and
located at the center
 It approaches, but never touches the x axis
 Area under the curve is always 1 (100%)
Is it Normal?
Empirical Rule

If data follows a normal distribution…
68% of it will be within 1 standard
deviation
 95% of it will be within 2 standard
deviations
 99% of it will be within 3 standard
deviations

Examples
The heights of the 880 students at East
Meck High School are normally distributed
with a mean of 67 inches and a standard
deviation of 2.5 inches
a) Draw and label the normal curve.

b) 68% of the students fall between what two
heights?
Examples (cont.)
c) What percent of the students are between
59.5 and 69.5 inches tall?
d) Approximately how many students are more
than 72 inches tall?
You Try!
A machine used to fill water bottle dispenses
slightly different amounts into each bottle.
Suppose the volume of water in 120 bottles is
normally distributed with a mean of 1.1 liters and
a standard deviation of 0.02 liter.
a) Draw and label the normal curve.
b) 95% of the water bottles fall between what two
volumes?
c) What percent of the bottles have between 1.08
and 1.12 liters?
d) Approximately how many bottles of water are
filled with less than 1.06 liters?

Back to Heights Examples
e) If a student is 62 inches tall, how many
standard deviations from the mean are they?
f) If a student is 71 inches tall, how many
standard deviations from the mean are they?
Standard Deviations
How to be more specific…

A standard normal distribution is the set of
all z-scores (or z-values).
 It represents how many standard
deviations a certain data point is away from
the mean.
 The z-score is positive if the data value lies
above the mean and negative if it’s below
the mean.
How to find Z-Scores
Examples

Find z if X = 24, µ = 29 and σ = 4.2

You Try! Find Z if X = 19, μ = 22, and σ = 2.6

standard deviations from the mean are they?

and a standard deviation of 0.02 liter.

standard deviations from the mean is it?

f) If a water bottle has 1.07 liters, how many
standard deviations away from the mean is it?

Back to h) If you pick a student at random,
what is the probability they will be between

California are normally distributed with mean

probability and use a graphing calculator to
sketch the corresponding area under the
curve.
