299 - 40% = 179.4 I Think

He will pay $179.4.

40% of 299 = 119.6

299-199.6 = 179.4

To check your answer (or another way to do it is) take 60% of 299 = 179.4

The amount of time that people spend at Grover Hot Springs Spa is normally distributed with a mean of 63 minutes and a standard

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

a) $X \sim N(63,18)$

Where $\mu=63$ and $\sigma=18$

b) $P(X>90)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{90-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{90-63}{18})=P(Z>1.5)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table or excel:

$P(Z>1.5)=1-P(Z$

c) $P(X$

$P(Z$

d) $P(60$

$P(-0.167$

e) IQR = 75.13-50.87=24.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the amount of time that people spend at Grover Hot Springs of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(63,18)$

Where $\mu=63$ and $\sigma=18$

Part b

We are interested on this probability

$P(X>90)$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(X>90)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{90-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{90-63}{18})=P(Z>1.5)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table or excel:

$P(Z>1.5)=1-P(Z$

Part c

We are interested on this probability

$P(X$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(X$

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel:

$P(Z$

Part d

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(60$

And we can find this probability with this difference:

$P(-0.167$

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

$P(-0.167$

Part e

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

$P(X>a)=0.75$ (a)

$P(X$ (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.25 of the area on the left and 0.75 of the area on the right it's z=-0.674. On this case P(Z<-0.674)=0.25 and P(z>-0.674)=0.75

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X$
