      AP Statistics  Normal Distribution Chapter 2 Practice Questions
       
  1 ) What percent of the data is contained within +1 and -2  standard deviations of the mean?
  2 ) If the interquartile range of a data set is 200 what is the best estimate of standard deviation?
  3 ) If the average verbal SAT score is 500 and the standard deviation is 100, what % of the SAT test takers score above 700?
  4 ) The average IQ in the U.S.A. is  100 with a standard deviation of 15 and is roughly normally distributed. What percent of the population has an IQ above 70?
  5 ) Using the normal distribution, what is the probability of finding an individual with an IQ between 85 and 145?
___ 6 ) What is the smallest amount of data contained within plus or minus 3 sigma of the mean, given any distribution?
      a) 34%        b) 68%       c) 75%        d) 89%        e) 93%
  7 ) Where are the 2 inflection points found on a normal distribution?
  8 ) What is the z-score corresponding to Q1 of a box and whiskers plot?
  9 ) For normally distributed data a normal quantile plot will appear to be ________________.
  10 ) Draw a box an whiskers plot for normally distributed data.
  11 ) Draw an ogive for a normal distribution.
  12 ) Given the following 5 number summary  2, 3, 7, 11, 12 is the distribution normal?
  13 ) Given a normal quantile plot, how can you tell if the distribution is normal?
  14 ) What is a density curve?
  15 ) What is the difference between pdf and cdf?
  16 ) What is the actual range od a normal distribution?
  17 ) What is the estimated range for normally distributed data?
  18 ) Given  that IQR = 6, what is the standard deviation. (assume normally distributed data)
  19 ) Given the following 5 number summary  1, 6, 7, 8, 13 draw an ogive. Is the data normally distributed? Why or why not?
  20 ) For normally distributed data the mean = 50 and the standard deviation = 10. Draw an ogive for the data. Find the IQR

Want to learn more about movie physics in Star Trek and find out :
  • what makes Star Trek unique
  • how Star Trek compares to Star Wars
  • why the star ship Enterprise needs to remain in space
  • what should and shouldn't be done in space battles
  • what it takes to blast off and travel the galaxy
  • the basics of orbiting
Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics is one of the most humorous, entertaining, and readable physics books available, yet is filled with all kinds of useful content and clear explanations for high school, 1st semester college physics students, and film buffs.

It explains all 3 of Newton's laws, the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics, momentum, energy, gravity, circular motion and a host of other topics all through the lens of Hollywood movies using Star Trek and numerous other films.

If you want to learn how to think physics and have a lot of fun in the process, this is the book for you!

 

First the web site,
