The time it takes Jessica to bicycle to school is normally distributed with mean 15 minutes and variance 4. Jessica has to be at

school at 8:00 am. Suppose you saw her at class, and she said it took her 23 minutes to get to school that day. Which of the following is a reasonable inference or conclusion?a. Twenty-three minutes to school is not an unusually long commute time.b. A commuting time of 23 minutes is highly unusual or atypical.c. The distribution of commute times MAY NOT be normal with mean 15 minutes and standard deviation 2 minutes.d. Both (b) and (c) are feasible conclusions.e. Both (a) and (c) are feasible conclusions.

Answer:

d. Both (b) and (c) are feasible conclusions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the time  it takes Jessica to bicycle to school is normally distributed with mean 15 minutes and variance 4.

i.e. X the time it takes for Jessica to reach school is N(15,2)

One day Jessica said it took 23 minutes to get to school

i.e. 4 std deviations above the mean time it took

the prob for this is almost 0 which is very unusual.

Either the distribution is not symmetric as mentioned normal or the time is unusual

Hence correct option woul dbe

b. A commuting time of 23 minutes is highly unusual or atypical. and

c. The distribution of commute times MAY NOT be normal with mean 15 minutes and standard deviation 2 minutes

So both b and c are feasible conclusions

saw5 [17]

Answer:

21 windows

Step-by-step explanation:

colleen's family plans to paint the windows of their house. her father will paint twice as many windows as her mother, and Colleen and her 2 brothers will paint an equal number of the rest of the windows. Colleen decided to do her own share and her mother's share and paints 7 window, which is one less than her father's share. how many windows are in their house?

Answer: Let the number of window Colleen father would paint be x while that of her mother be y. Since her father will paint twice as many window as her mother, therefore the number of windows painted by the father x = 2y

Let the number of windows each painted by Colleen and her 2 brothers be z since they would paint the same number of windows. The total number of windows to be painted = 2y + y + z + z + z = 3y + 3z = 3(y + z).

Then number of windows needed to be painted by Colleen and her mother is given as z + y. Since Colleen painted 7 windows as her share and her mother share i.e. y + z = 7

Therefore the total number of windows = 3(y + z) = 3(7) = 21 windows

The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 250.8 and a standard deviation of
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

a) 68%; b) 99.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule states that 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean; 95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean; and 99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

For part a,

We are asked the approximate percentage of women whose platelet counts are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.  According to the empirical rule, this is 68%.

For part b,

We are given the endpoints of the interval.  The lower endpoint is 181.5; this is 250.8-181.5 = 138.6 away from the mean.  Dividing by the standard deviation, 69.3, we have

138.6/69.3 = 2

This is 2 standard deviations away from the mean.

The higher endpoint is 320.1; this is 320.1-181.5 = 138.6 away from the mean.  Dividing by the standard deviation, 69.3, we have

138.6/69.3 = 2

This is standard deviations away from the mean.

This means this interval includes about 95% of women.
