Standard Normal Distribution-
State Bank and TrustIssue: State bank managers have studied the
time customers spend at the bank on business.
They plan to offer a gift certificate to any
customer who is required to spend over 30
minutes on bank business.
Objective: Use Excel 2007 to create a histogram
and determine the probability that a gift
certificate will be given to any customer. The
data file is State Bank.xls.
Standard Normal – State Bank and Trust
Open file StateBank.xls
Standard Normal – State Bank and Trust
Using the Data Analysis –Histogram Function, Build the Histogram as indicated. Select Chart Output
Standard Normal – State Bank and Trust
Format as per Chapter 2
Standard Normal – State Bank and Trust
Using the Chart Tools option, Format the histogram, insert titles and labels
Next, determine probability of a service time exceeding 30 minutes.

Insert:
•X = 30
•Mean = 22.14
•Standard Dev = 6.09
•Cumulative – true
Probability P(X <= 30) = .9016
Exponential Distribution-
Haines Internet Services
Issue: Assume the time between connect attempts
averages two minutes and the distribution of time
between attempts is assumed to be exponential.
Objective: Use Excel 2007 to compute the probability
that that the time between connect attempts will be
less than 45 seconds (.75 minutes).

Creating A Standard Normal
Distribution Table
Issue: The Standard Normal tables in the
Appendix of this text were created using Excel.
Objective: Use Excel to generate a standard
normal table for z values below zero.
Creating the Standard Normal Table
Z-value, second decimal place
Z-value integer and first decimal place
Creating the Standard Normal Table
Probabilities correspond to area on the standard normal table between the Z value and the mean = 0
Formula:•ABS function is for absolute value.•Mean for NORMDIST function is -0.0 -.01 = - .01 •Notice use of absolute cell references to allow formula to be copied across and down to finish the table
