Answer:
Accelerating to top speed, deaccelerating to finish line.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the runner kept a constant speed of 11 mph for the whole duration of his run (32 minutes), the distance he would have covered is:
This means that, in order to run the full 6.2 miles, the runner needs to reach a speed over 11 mph. Assume he starts from rest, while accelerating the runner reaches, and the surpasses, the 11 mph mark. Since his speed at the finish line is zero, the runner has to deaccelerate from his current running speed (which should be higher than 11 mph), passing through 11 mph and reaching zero at the finish line.
Answer:
(a) P(X > $57,000) = 0.0643
(b) P(X < $46,000) = 0.1423
(c) P(X > $40,000) = 0.0066
(d) P($45,000 < X < $54,000) = 0.6959
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that U.S. Bureau of Economic Statistics reports that the average annual salary in the metropolitan Boston area is $50,542.
Suppose annual salaries in the metropolitan Boston area are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $4,246.
<em>Let X = annual salaries in the metropolitan Boston area</em>
SO, X ~ Normal()
The z-score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;
Z = ~ N(0,1)
where, = average annual salary in the Boston area = $50,542
= standard deviation = $4,246
(a) Probability that the worker’s annual salary is more than $57,000 is given by = P(X > $57,000)
P(X > $57,000) = P( >
) = P(Z > 1.52) = 1 - P(Z
1.52)
= 1 - 0.93574 = <u>0.0643</u>
<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.52 in the z table which gave an area of 0.93574</em>.
(b) Probability that the worker’s annual salary is less than $46,000 is given by = P(X < $46,000)
P(X < $46,000) = P( <
) = P(Z < -1.07) = 1 - P(Z
1.07)
= 1 - 0.85769 = <u>0.1423</u>
<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.07 in the z table which gave an area of 0.85769</em>.
(c) Probability that the worker’s annual salary is more than $40,000 is given by = P(X > $40,000)
P(X > $40,000) = P( >
) = P(Z > -2.48) = P(Z < 2.48)
= 1 - 0.99343 = <u>0.0066</u>
<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.48 in the z table which gave an area of 0.99343</em>.
(d) Probability that the worker’s annual salary is between $45,000 and $54,000 is given by = P($45,000 < X < $54,000)
P($45,000 < X < $54,000) = P(X < $54,000) - P(X $45,000)
P(X < $54,000) = P( <
) = P(Z < 0.81) = 0.79103
P(X $45,000) = P(
) = P(Z
-1.31) = 1 - P(Z < 1.31)
= 1 - 0.90490 = 0.0951
<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.81 and x = 1.31 in the z table which gave an area of 0.79103 and 0.9049 respectively</em>.
Therefore, P($45,000 < X < $54,000) = 0.79103 - 0.0951 = <u>0.6959</u>
