Carly commutes to work, and her commute time is dependent on the weather. When the weather is good, the distribution of her comm

ute time is approximately normal with mean 20 minutes and standard deviation 2 minutes. When the weather is not good, the distribution of her commute times is approximately normal with mean 30 minutes and standard deviation 4 minutes. Suppose the probability that the weather will be good tomorrow is 0.9. What is the probability that Carly's commute time tomorrow will be greater than 25 minutes?

We are given with
x1 = 20 min
s1 = 2 min

x2 = 30 min
s2 = 4 min

p = 0.9
Condition (x > 25)

We need to get the t-value between the two means and comparing it wit the t-value for the time of 25 minutes given that there is a 90% probability that the weather will be good. Simply use the t-test formula and use the t-test table to get the probability.

Answer:

0.950

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 25 minute when the weather is good

This is writtesn as P( x > A), where A represents a numerical value or a condition.

Substituting the value of A, we get -

P( x > 25)

Here mean = 20 and standard deviation = 2

Now we will find the z value for give x value -

As we know -

z = (x - u) / sigma

Substituting the available values , we get -

A =  (25-20) / 2 =  2.5 \\\\

Now, probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 25 minute when the weather is good is equal to probability value as compared to the corresponding z values

Thus, probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 25 minute when the weather is good = 0.0062

b) Probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 25 minute when the weather is not good

z = (x - u) / sigma

Substituting the available values , we get -

A =  (25-30) / 4 =  -1.25 \\\\

Now, probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 30 minute when the weather is good is equal to probability value as compared to the corresponding z values

Thus, probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 25 minute when the weather is good = 0.0062

P(x > 25) \\= P( z > (25-30) / 4) \\= P(z > -1.25) \\= 0.8944

Final Probability -

P( x > 25) \\= P( x > 25, weather good) + P( x > 25 , weather not good) \\= P( x > 25) \\= (0.0062)(0.9) + (0.8944)(0.10) \\= 0.0950

For the function m(n)=4n-7, when m is 9 what is n?
klio [65]

Answer:

  n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the given values in the equation and solve for n.

  9 = 4n -7

  16 = 4n . . . . . . add 7

  4 = n . . . . . . . . divide by 4

The value of n is 4 so that m(4) = 9.

What is 28% of 63%? Round your answer to the nearest tenth
Zina [86]

Answer: 17%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First divide the percentages by 100 to turn the percentages into a decimal (28/100) x (63/100) = 0.1764

2. Then turn that decimal into a percentage again.

0.1764 x 100 = 17.64 but if you’re rounding to the nearest tenth without any decimals it’ll just be 17%
