The number of accidents per week at a hazardous intersection varies with mean 2.2 and standard deviation 1.4. The distribution o

Answer:

33.36% probability that X is less than 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution is not normal, however, using the central limit theorem, it is going to be approximately normal. So

Central Limit Theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Normal Probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 2.2, \sigma = 1.4, n = 9, s = \frac{1.4}{\sqrt{9}} = 0.467

(a) Suppose we let X be the mean number of accidents per week at the intersection during 9 randomly chosen weeks. What is the probability that X is less than 2?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 2. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{2 - 2.2}{0.467}

Z = -0.43

Z = -0.43 has a pvalue of 0.3336.

33.36% probability that X is less than 2.

The first step to find how many 1/4 inch segments are in 1 and 1/2 inches is to convert 1 and 1/2 into an improper fraction.
To do this, convert 1 into a fraction with the same denominator as 1/2, which is 2.
1 = 1/1
1/1 = 2/2
Now add 2/2, which is the same as 1, to 1/2.
2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2
So 1 and 1/2 = 3/2
Now multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 so you can see how many times 1/4 goes into the fraction equivalent to 1 and 1/2.
3/2 = 6/4
1/4 goes into 6/4 6 times, since the numerator of 1 goes into the numerator of 6 6 times.

So the answer is that 6 1/4 inch segments are in 1 and 1/2 inches.
