Answer:
There is a 2.28% probability that it takes less than one minute to find a parking space. Since this probability is smaller than 5%, you would be surprised to find a parking space so fast.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by
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.
Also, a probability is unusual if it is lesser than 5%. If it is unusual, it is surprising.
In this problem:
The length of time it takes to find a parking space at 9 A.M. follows a normal distribution with a mean of 7 minutes and a standard deviation of 3 minutes, so .
We need to find the probability that it takes less than one minute to find a parking space.
So we need to find the pvalue of Z when
has a pvalue of 0.0228.
There is a 2.28% probability that it takes less than one minute to find a parking space. Since this probability is smaller than 5%, you would be surprised to find a parking space so fast.

Complete Question
Aluminium coated dewars are cylindrical flasks used to safely store and transport liquid nitrogen, dry ice etc. A company manufactures such dewars of different sizes. Shown here are two dewars, both of the same height but of different diameters. How much aluminium will be required to cover Dewar A compared to that required for Dewar B? (Note: The base and the lid are NOT made up of aluminium.)
A) 1/3 times
B) 3 times
C) 9 times
D) The same amount of aluminum will be required.
Answer:
B) 3 times
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that we are to find the amount of aluminum to cover Dewar A and B , we are also told that the base and the lid are not covered with aluminum.
From this information, we can determine that we are to find the curved or Lateral surface area of the cylinder because the base and lid are not included
The curved surface area of a cylinder is calculated as 2πrh
We told that both cylinders have the same height. Hence,
For Dewar A
We have Diameter of 30 cm, radius = Diameter ÷ 2 = 30cm ÷ 2 = 15cm.
Height = h
The curved surface area = 2πrh
= 2 × π × 15 ×h
= 30πhcm²
For Dewar B
We have Diameter of 10 cm, radius = Diameter ÷ 2 = 10cm ÷ 2 = 5cm.
Height = h
The curved surface area = 2πrh
= 2 × π × 5 ×h
= 10πhcm²
When we compare the curved surface Dewar A to the curved surface area of Dewar B
Dewar A : Dewar B
30πhcm² : 10πhcm²
3(10πhcm²) : 10πhcm²
From the above comparison, we can see that 3 times more aluminum is required to cover Dewar A compared to Dewar B.
