A project has a mean completion time of 54 weeks and a standard deviation of the project completion time of 2.95 weeks. What is

the probability of completing the project within 52 weeks? Please put your answer in terms of a probability (i.e. a number between 0 and 1), and not a percentage.

Answer:

0.2483

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 54, \sigma = 2.95

What is the probability of completing the project within 52 weeks?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 52.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{52 - 54}{2.95}

Z = -0.68

Z = -0.68 has a pvalue of 0.2483

So the answer is 0.2483

Answer:

Probability of completing the project within 52 weeks is 0.2483.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a project has a mean completion time of 54 weeks and a standard deviation of the project completion time of 2.95 weeks.

<em>Let X = completion time of  a project</em>

The z-score probability distribution is given by;

                   Z = \frac{ X -\mu}{{\sigma}} }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean completion time = 54 weeks

           \sigma = standard deviation = 2.95 weeks

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

So, probability of completing the project within 52 week is given by = P(X<em> </em>\leq 52 weeks)

     P(X<em> </em>\leq 52) = P( \frac{ X -\mu}{\sigma}} } \leq \frac{52-54}{2.95}} } ) = P(Z \leq -0.68) = 1 - P(Z < 0.68)

                                                    = 1 - 0.75175 = 0.2483

Because in z table area of P(Z < x) is given. Also, the above probability is calculated using z table by looking at value of x = 0.77 in the z table which have an area of 0.75175.

Therefore, probability of completing the project within 52 weeks is 0.2483.

Which of the following is an example of a quantitative variable?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

C) A person's height, recorded in inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantitative Variable:

  • A quantitative variable is a variable which can be measured and have a numeric outcome.
  • That is the value of variable can be expressed with numbers.
  • Foe example: age, length are examples of quantitative variables.

A) The color of an automobile

The color of car is not a quantitative variable as its outcome cannot be measured and expressed in value. It is a categorical variable.

B) A person's zip code

Some variables like zip codes take numerical values. But they are not considered quantitative. They are considered as a categorical variable because average of zip codes have no significance.

C) A person's height, recorded in inches

Height is a qualitative variable because it can be measured and its value is expressed in numbers.
