g A lawyer commutes daily from his suburban home to his midtown office. The average time for a one-way trip is 24 minutes, with
rodikova [14]

Answer:

a) 85.31%

b) 56 minutes

c) 17 days

d) 0.1721

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to make the calculations easier, let's <em>standardize the curve</em> by doing the change

Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

where \mu is the average trip-time and \sigma the standard deviation and

P(X≤ t) is the probability that the trip takes less than t  minutes.

a)

Here we are looking for the value of P(X>20).

For X=20 we have Z = (20-24)/3.8 = -1.05

So, we want the area under the standard normal curve for Z > -1.05

that we can compute either using a table or a computer and we find this area equals 0.8531

So, he arrives late to work 85.31% of the times.

(See picture 1 attached)

b)

In this case we are looking for a value t of time such that

P(X≥ t) = 20% = 0.2

So, we are seeking a value Z such that the area under the normal curve to the left of Z equals 0.2

By using a table or a computer we find Z = 0.842

(See picture 2 attached)

By inserting this value in the equation on standardization  

0.842=\frac{X-24}{38}\Rightarrow X=38*0.842+24=55.996

So 20% of the longest trips takes 55.996 ≅ 56 minutes

c)

Since the average of days he arrives late is 85.31%, it is expected that in 20 work days he arrives late 85.31% of 20, which equals 17 days.

d)

Since the probability that he does not arrive late is 1-0.8531 = 0.1469 and the probability of arriving early is independent of the previous trip,

the probability of arriving early n days in a row is

0.1496*0.1496*...*0.1496 n times and

the probability of being early most than 10 trips in 20 days is

(0.1469)+(0.1469)^2+(0.1469)^3+...+(0.1469)^10=0.1721

Georgia [21]
The actual block is 1800 feet long and 1260 feet wide. We know that 1 foot is equivalent to 12 inches.

Luke is now using the Feet scale measurement.

Solving for the area in square inches is shown below:
Area = L * W
Area = (1800 feet *12 inches/1 foot) * (1260 feet *12 inches/1 foot)
Area = 326.592 x10^6 inches²

To write the polynomial 5x^4+8x^5-2x+3 in standard form, which term is the leading term?
NARA [144]
Leading term is the term with the highest power (first term from left to writewhen arranged in decreasing power order)

8x^5 is higher power than 5x^4 (5>4)

so leading term is 5th degree
constant=0 degree (x^0=1)
linear=1st degree (x^1)
quartic=4th degree (x^4)
quintic=5th degree (x^5)

answer would be B

Data are drawn from a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 25 and a standard deviation of 4. There are 1,000 observations in
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

a. 97.72% of the observations are less than 33

b. Approximately 977 observations are less than 33.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 25 and a standard deviation of 4.

This means that \mu = 25, \sigma = 4

a. Approximately what percentage of the observations are less than 33?

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 33. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{33 - 25}{4}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a p-value of 0.9772

0.9772*100% = 97.72%

97.72% of the observations are less than 33.

b. Approximately how many observations are less than 33?

Out of 1000:

0.9772*1000 = 977.2

Approximately 977 observations are less than 33.
