Answer:

If the task is performed in less than or equal to 130.8 seconds, then, the individuals qualify for advanced training.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 150 sec

Standard Deviation, σ = 15 sec

We are given that the distribution of time taken is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.10

P(X < x)  

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 150}{15})=0.10  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

\displaystyle\frac{x - 150}{15} = -1.282\\x = 130.8  

Thus, if the task is performed in less than or equal to 130.8 seconds, then, the individuals qualify for advanced training.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

  1. The submarine's position means the distance it traveled is greater than 24 feet
  2. A possible position of the submarine is -27 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is generally a positive number. (Displacement, or position may be negative, as in this case.) If the sub started at 0 feet and went lower than -24 feet, it traveled a distance of more than 24 feet (greater than 24 ft).

Of the numbers listed, the only one lower than -24 is -27.
