In cognitive psychology experiments, researchers often measure reaction time—how long it takes a person to respond to a stimulus (like pressing a button when a light appears). In a simple reaction task, reaction times were normally distributed with a mean of 225 milliseconds (ms) and standard deviation of 25 ms. Approximately % of people that complete this reaction task will have a reaction time between 175 and 275 ms. Approximately 68% of people that complete this reaction task will have a reaction time between and ms.

Suppose the amount of water consumed by healthy adults in the United States is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 68 ounces and a standard deviation of 12 ounces. Use this information to answer the questions that follow. Some recommendations state that adults should drink at least 72 ounces of water per day. What is the probability a randomly selected healthy adult in the U.S. is following this recommendation? (Round to four decimal places.) What is the percentile for a healthy adult that drinks 50 ounces of water per day?  (Round to the nearest whole number.)

A group of researchers is studying college students’ final exam scores in an introductory statistics course. They believe performance may be influenced by weekly hours spent studying and average hours of sleep per night. Identify each variable as either an explanatory or a response variable. Final exam score is variable. Weekly hours spent studying is variable. Average hours of sleep per night is variable.
