\bf \begin{array}{ccccllll}
&distance&rate(mph)&time(hrs)\\\\
&-----&-----&-------\\\\
\textit{first train}&d&80&t\\
\textit{second train}&238-d&90&t
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
thus
\\\\

\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=(80)(t)\\\\
238-\boxed{d}=(90)(t)
\end{cases}

see the substitution?  so.. do the substitution on the 2nd equation, and solve for "t"

bear in mind that, when the trains meet, over the same road, they have been traveling the same distance, one is faster than the other, so the distances differ, but the time does  not, is the same for both,

if the first train has been running 45mins and met the second train,
then the second train has also been running for 45mins,
thus "t" is the same for both

When the population mean and standard deviation are known, what distribution is used for the analysis of the sample?.
Kitty [74]

When the population mean and standard deviation are known, you use the standard normal distribution

<h3>How to determine the distribution?</h3>

There are several probability distributions; these include

  • Normal distribution
  • Poisson distribution
  • Chi square distribution
  • Binomial distribution
  • Etc

Of all these distribution, only the standard normal distribution can be used when the population mean and standard deviation are known,

Note that it is also referred to as the z-distribution
