Two college roommates have each committed to donating to charity each week for the next year. The roommates’ weekly incomes are

independent of each other. Suppose the amount donated in a week by one roommate is approximately normal with mean $30 and standard deviation $10, and the amount donated in a week by the other roommate is approximately normal with mean $60 and standard deviation $20. Which of the following is closest to the expected number of weeks in a 52-week year that their combined donation will exceed $120 ?0; the combined donation never exceeds $120 in a weekA1 weekB3 weeksC5 weeksD8 weeks

Answer:

C. 5 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have a random variable that is equal to the sum of two normal-distributed random variables.

If we have two random variables X and Y, both normally distributed, the sum will have this properties:

S=X+Y\\\\\ \mu_S=\mu_X+\mu_Y=30+60=90\\\\\sigma_S=\sqrt{\sigma_X^2+\sigma_Y^2}=\sqrt{10^2+20^2}=\sqrt{100+400}=\sqrt{500}=22.36

To calculate the expected weeks that the donation exceeds $120, first we can calculate the probability of S>120:

z=\frac{S-\mu_S}{\sigma_S} =\frac{120-90}{22.36}=\frac{30}{22.36}=1.34\\\\P(S>120)=P(z>1.34)=0.09012

The expected weeks can be calculated as the product of the number of weeks in the year (52) and this probability:

E=\#weeks*P(S>120)=52*0.09012=4.68

The nearest answer is C. 5 weeks.
