A recent study showed that the length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials is normally distributed with

a mean equal to 12.56 hours with a standard deviation of 6.7 hours. Given this information, what is the probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours?

Answer:

Probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is 0.1725.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a recent study showed that the length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials is normally distributed with a mean equal to 12.56 hours with a standard deviation of 6.7 hours.

<em>Let X = length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials</em>

So, X ~ N(\mu = 12.56, \sigma^{2} = 6.7^{2})

The z score probability distribution is given by;

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

where, \mu = mean time = 12.56 hours

           \sigma = standard deviation = 6.7 hours

So, Probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is given by = P(12 hours < X < 15 hours) = P(X < 15) - P(X \leq 12)

    P(X < 15) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{15-12.56}{6.7} ) = P(Z < 0.36) = 0.64058

    P(X \leq 12) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{12-12.56}{6.7} ) = P(Z \leq -0.08) = 1 - P(Z < 0.08)

                                                     = 1 - 0.53188 = 0.46812

<em>Therefore, P(12 hours < X < 15 hours) = 0.64058 - 0.46812 = 0.1725</em>

Hence, probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is 0.1725.

The ordered pair (a,b)satisfies the inequality y<br><br>need a little help​
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

If you add 5 to a, it will be greater than b

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if you have the inequality y<x+5 a=x b=y so by adding 5 to a meaning x 5+a will still be greater than b(y) with out changing the sign or inequality.

Find y if the distance between
Helen [10]

Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{(10-3)^2 + (y+18)^2} = 25 \\ 49 + y^2 + 324 + 36y = 625 \\

y^2 + 36y - 252 = 0

(y-6)(y+42) = 0

y = 6 (accettable)

y = -42 (not accettable)

At a certain concert, 73 % of the audience was under 20 years old. A random sample of n = 146 members of the audience was select
Tatiana [17]

Answer:  p = 0.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

73% of the audience was under 20 years old :

so, probability (p) = 0.73

n = 146

Mean of the distribution of sample proportion = ?

According to central limit theorem,

np(1-p) ≥ 10

146 × 0.73(0.27) ≥ 10

28.77 ≥ 10

∴ Central limit theorem assumes that the sample distribution of the sample proportion is normally distributed.

Hence, the mean of the distribution of sample proportion:

μ = p = 0.73
