The following graph represents the results of a survey, in which a random sample of adults in a certain country was asked if a certain action was morally wrong in general. Complete parts (a) through (c).
(a) What % of the respondents believe that the action is morally acceptable? (round to nearest whole number as needed)
(b) If there are 217 adults million adults in the country, how many believe that the action is morally wrong? (round to nearest million as needed)
(c) If a polling organization claimed that the results of the survey indicate that 9% of adults believe that the action is acceptable in certain situations, would you say this statement is descriptive or inferential? Why?

Pulse rates of women are normally distributed with a mean of 77.5 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 11.6 beats per minute. Answer the following questions.
What are the values of the mean and standard deviation after converting all pulse rates of women to z scores using \(\mathrm{z}=\frac{(\mathrm{x}-\mu)}{\sigma}\) ?
The original pulse rates are measure with units of "beats per minute". What are the units of the corresponding z scores? Choose the correct choice below.

For bone density scores that are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1, find the percentage of scores that are
a. significantly high (or at least 2 standard deviations above the mean).
b. significantly low (or at least 2 standard deviations below the mean).
c. not significant (or less than 2 standard deviations away from the mean).

Find the indicated area under the curve of the standard normal distribution, then convert it to a percentage and fill in the blank.
About _____% of the area is between z=?2.2 and z=2.2 (or within 2.2 standard deviations of the mean).
About?____% of the area is between z=?2.2 and z=2.2 (or within 2.2 standard deviations of the mean).
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)?

Assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Those test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. Find the probability that a given score is less than -1.82 and draw a sketch of the region.
Assume the readings on thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0degrees C and a standard deviation of 1.00degrees C. Find the probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads greater than -1.11 and draw a sketch of the region.
If you could explain how to use the normal distribution table that would be great.
