The time taken for a computer to boot up, X, follows a normal distribution with mean 30 seconds and standard deviation 5 seconds. What is the standardized score (z-score) for a boot-up time of x =20 seconds?

-2.0

Assuming a standard normal distribution is appropriate and using Standard Normal Table, what is the approximate probability that a z-score is greater than or equal to 2.33? Said another way, what is P(Z ≥ 2.33)?

Scores on an achievement test had an average of 70 and a standard deviation of 10. Serena's score was 85. Using Standard Normal Table and assuming the scores have approximately a normal distribution, about what proportion of students scored lower than Serena?

Use software to answer the following: You just found out that you have been kicked out of your apartment (through no fault of your own!) and need to find a new place to live. Suppose monthly rent for an individual is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of 334 dollars and a standard deviation of 22 dollars. What is the probability that you will find an apartment that costs more than 400 dollars per month.

You are applying to graduate schools and need to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). The quantitative (math) portion of this exam is a normal random variable with a mean of about 600 and standard deviation of 150. What score on this quantitative section of the GRE do you need in order to fall in the 67th percentile?
