Transcript text: Assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Those test scores are normally distribu mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. Draw a graph and find the probability of a bone density test score gr -1.57.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the Problem
The problem involves a normally distributed variable with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. We need to find the probability of a bone density test score being less than -1.57 and identify the correct graph that represents this probability.
Step 2: Identify the Correct Graph
The correct graph should show the area under the normal distribution curve to the left of -1.57 shaded, as we are interested in the probability of the score being less than -1.57.
Step 3: Analyze the Given Graphs
Graph A: Shows the area to the left of -1.57 shaded.
Graph B: Shows the area to the left of -1.57 and to the right of 1.57 shaded.
Graph C: Shows the area between -1.57 and 1.57 shaded.
Graph D: Shows the area to the right of -1.57 shaded.
Final Answer
The correct graph is Graph A, which shows the area to the left of -1.57 shaded.
