The commuting time for a student to travel from home to a college campus is normally distributed with a mean of 30 minutes and a

standard deviation of 5 minutes. If the student leaves home at 8:25 A.M., what is the probability that the student will arrive at the college campus later than 9 A.M.?

Answer:

0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the commuting time for the student. We know that X\sim N(30, (5)^2). Then, the normal probability density function for the random variable X is given by

f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi(5)^{2}}}\exp[-\frac{(x-\mu)^{2}}{2(5)^{2}}]. We are seeking the probability P(X>35) because the student leaves home at 8:25 A.M., we want to know the probability that the student will arrive at the college campus later than 9 A.M. and between 8:25 A.M. and 9 A.M. there are 35 minutes of difference. So,

 

P(X>35) = \int\limits_{35}^{\infty}f(x)dx = 0.1587

To find this probability you can use either a table from a book or a programming language. We have used the R statistical programming language an the instruction pnorm(35, mean = 30, sd = 5, lower.tail = F)

Right triangle FGH has midsegments of 15,36, and 39 centimeters given that area of a triangle is represented by the formula A=1/
Schach [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

according to the midsegment theorem, a midsegment of a triangle is parallel to a side of a triangle and its length is 1/2 length of the side.

1/2FG= 15, SO FG=30,

1/2 GH=36 SO GH=72

AREA = 1/2(72*30)=1080 CM^2

Test the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is smaller than 70% at the 0.05 significance level. The null and alternat
Ghella [55]

Answer:

the null hypothesis would be: p = 70%/0.7

The alternative hypothesis would be: p < 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is most of the time always the default statement while the alternative hypothesis is tested against the null and is its opposite.

In this case study the null hypothesis would be: the proportion of men who own cats is 70%: p = 0.7

The alternative hypothesis would be: the proportion of men who own cats is smaller than 70% : p < 0.7
