Sketch a graph to represent the probability, then use a calculator to find it.
$P\left(Z>1.14\right)$

Finding Specified Data Values In Exercises 31–38, answer the questions about the specified normal distribution.

Water Footprint A water footprint is a measure of the appropriation of fresh water. The water footprint (in cubic meters) for a kilogram of wheat can be approximated by a normal distribution, as shown in the figure. (Source: Ecological Indicators)

b. What water footprint represents the 29th percentile?

In Exercises 5 and 6, determine whether you can use a normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution. If you can, use the normal distribution to approximate the indicated probabilities and sketch their graphs. If you cannot, explain why and use a binomial distribution to find the indicated probabilities.

A survey of U.S. undergraduates found that 37% of those attending in-state colleges would prefer to take a job in a different state after graduation. You randomly select 18 U.S. undergraduates attending in-state colleges. Find the probability that the number who would prefer to take a job in a different state after graduation is (a) exactly 7. Identify any unusual events. Explain.

Identify any unusual events. Explain.

Use a calculator to find the z–scores of the region shown in the standard normal distribution below.

A = 0.800

Standard Normal Distribution. In Exercises 13–16, find the indicated z score. The graph depicts the standard normal distribution of bone density scores with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.

Continuous Uniform Distribution. In Exercises 5–8, refer to the continuous uniform distribution depicted in Figure 6-2 and described in Example 1. Assume that a passenger is randomly selected, and find the probability that the waiting time is within the given range.
