The standard normal distribution 2007-12-29
From GEORGE:
Statistics texts state that in a normal distribution, 1 standard deviation covers 68%, 2SD 95% 3SD 99.7%. However, on looking at the tables for normal curve areas, the percentage for a z value of 1 is 84.13. 68 % of values are covered at a z value of 0.47. The discrepancies exist even for other values but are smaller. So why is the rule of thumb so different from the Table for Normal Curve areas?

Day care 2002-05-13
From Sonam:
In many familes, both parents work. as a result, there is increasing need for day care. data was collected; and in one year in Canada, approximately 32% of children aged 0 to 11 years were in day care for at least 20h per week.

(a) what is the probability, in a random poll of 60 children form the age of 0 to 11, that more than 15 children are in day care at least 20 h per week? nearest tenth of one %

ANSWER:
P(children are in daycare at least 20h)= 60/60C14 = to the answer

(b) what is the probability, in a random pool of 60 children that fewer than 20 are in day care at least 20 h per week?

ANSWER:
P= 20/60= 33.3% stay in day care for 20h per week,

I dont know if these answers are right please help me out.
