The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variable x with a mean of 8.4 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.5

minutes. Assume that the distribution of taxi and takeoff times is approximately normal. You may assume that the jets are lined up on a runway so that one taxies and takes off immediately after the other, and that they take off one at a time on a given runway.What is the probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes?

Answer:

0.6672 is the required probability.            

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 8.4 minutes

Standard Deviation, σ = 3.5 minutes

We are given that the distribution of distribution of taxi and takeoff times is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

According to central limit theorem the sum measurement of n is normal with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma\sqrt{n}

Sample size, n = 37

Standard Deviation =

=\sigma\times \sqrt{n} = 3.5\times \sqrt{37}=21.28

P(taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes)

P( \sum x < 320) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{320 - 37(8.4)}{21.28}) = P(z < 0.4323)

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

P(\sum x < 320) =0.6672 = 66.72\%

0.6672 is the probability  that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes.

Okay so 300 meters per minute and he ran 8 minutes..

300x8=2400

He still had 600 left to go...

2400+600=3,000

He had to run three times longer than Eric...

3000/3=1000

Does that make sense?

Answer: 5 Hours

Step-by-step explanation: <em>Divide 2 by 16 to get how many hours it takes to run 1 mile. Then multiply that number by 40 to get how many hours it would take run 40 miles.</em>

Oduvanchick [21]
It helps to imagine the variable a sort of as a unit. Like with 5 minus 12 lemons, it has no bearings on the addition/subtraction here.

Factor out a and subtract.

5a-12a \\ (5-12)a \\ \boxed{-7a}

I put a picture
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Yes, an arrow can be drawn from 10.3 so the relation is a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the diagram on the left is the domain(the inputs) and the diagram on the right is the range(the outputs), yes, an arrow can be drawn from 10.3 and the relation will be a function.

The only time something isn't a function is if two different outputs had the same input. However, it's okay for two different inputs to have the same output.

In this problem, 10.3 is an input. If you drew an arrow from 10.3 to one of the values on the right, 10.3 would end up sharing an output with another input. This is allowed, and the relation would be classified as a function.

However, if you drew multiple arrows from 10.3 to different values on the right, then the relation would no longer be a function because 10.3, a single input, would have multiple outputs.
