Answer:

a) 0.4452

b) 0.0548

c) 0.0501

d) 0.9145

e) 6.08 minutes or greater

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 4.7 minutes

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.50 minutes.

We are given that the distribution of length of the calls is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) P(calls last between 4.7 and 5.5 minutes)

P(4.7 \leq x \leq 5.5) = P(\displaystyle\frac{4.7 - 4.7}{0.50} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{5.5-4.7}{0.50}) = P(0 \leq z \leq 1.6)\\\\= P(z \leq 1.6) - P(z

P(4.7 \leq x \leq 5.5) = 44.52\%

b) P(calls last more than 5.5 minutes)

P(x > 5.5) = P(z > \displaystyle\frac{5.5-4.7}{0.50}) = P(z > 1.6)\\\\P( z > 1.6) = 1 - P(z \leq 1.6)

Calculating the value from the standard normal table we have,

1 - 0.9452 = 0.0548 = 5.48\%\\P( x > 5.5) = 5.48\%

c) P( calls last between 5.5 and 6 minutes)

P(4.7 \leq x \leq 5.5) = P(\displaystyle\frac{5.5 - 4.7}{0.50} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{6-4.7}{0.50}) = P(1.6 \leq z \leq 2.6)\\\\= P(z \leq 2.6) - P(z

P(5.5 \leq x \leq 6) = 5.01\%

d) P( calls last between 4 and 6 minutes)

P(4 \leq x \leq 6) = P(\displaystyle\frac{4 - 4.7}{0.50} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{6-4.7}{0.50}) = P(-1.4 \leq z \leq 2.6)\\\\= P(z \leq 2.6) - P(z

P(4 \leq x \leq 6) = 91.45\%

e) We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.03.

P(X > x)  

P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.7}{0.50})=0.03  

= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.7}{0.50})=0.03  

=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.7}{0.50})=0.997  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(z < 2.75) = 0.997

\displaystyle\frac{x - 4.7}{0.50} = 2.75\\x = 6.075 \approx 6.08  

Hence, the call lengths must be 6.08 minutes or greater for them to lie in the highest 3%.

Why the denator in the numerator stay the same
nika2105 [10]
Because it is like having a unit of measurement that is set
lets say that in a certain country, one serving of bread is 1/2 of the standard loaf
and if you have 3 servings, you have 3/2 loaf so the bottom number tells you how many parts out of 1 whole you have

6. A rectangle has a perimeter of 62 feet. If its length is 9 feet longer than its width, find
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

length = 20 ft, width = 11 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let w be width, then length = w + 9

The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal , then

2w + 2(w + 9) = 62

2w + 2w + 18 = 62

4w + 18 = 62 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

4w = 44 ( divide both sides by 4 )

w = 11

and w + 9 = 11 + 9 = 20

then width = 11 ft and length = 20 ft
