The time needed to complete a final examination in a particular college course is normally distributed with a mean of 77 minutes
Komok [63]

Answer:

a. The probability of completing the exam in one hour or less is 0.0783

b. The probability that student will complete the exam in more than 60 minutes but less than 75 minutes is 0.3555

c. The number of students will be unable to complete the exam in the allotted time is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

a. According to the given we have the following:

The time for completing the final exam in a particular college is distributed normally with mean (μ) is 77 minutes and standard deviation (σ) is 12 minutes

Hence, For X = 60, the Z- scores is obtained as follows:

Z=  X−μ /σ

Z=60−77 /12

Z=−1.4167

Using the standard normal table, the probability P(Z≤−1.4167) is approximately 0.0783.

P(Z≤−1.4167)=0.0783

Therefore, The probability of completing the exam in one hour or less is 0.0783.

b. In this case For X = 75, the Z- scores is obtained as follows:

Z=  X−μ /σ

Z=75−77 /12

Z=−0.1667

Using the standard normal table, the probability P(Z≤−0.1667) is approximately 0.4338.

Therefore, The probability that student will complete the exam in more than 60 minutes but less than 75 minutes is obtained as follows:

P(60<X<75)=P(Z≤−0.1667)−P(Z≤−1.4167)

=0.4338−0.0783

=0.3555

​

Therefore, The probability that student will complete the exam in more than 60 minutes but less than 75 minutes is 0.3555

c. In order to compute  how many students you expect will be unable to complete the exam in the allotted time we have to first compute the Z−score of the critical value (X=90) as follows:

Z=  X−μ /σ

Z=90−77 /12

Z​=1.0833

UsING the standard normal table, the probability P(Z≤1.0833) is approximately 0.8599.

Therefore P(Z>1.0833)=1−P(Z≤1.0833)

=1−0.8599

=0.1401

​

Therefore, The number of students will be unable to complete the exam in the allotted time is= 60×0.1401=8.406

The number of students will be unable to complete the exam in the allotted time is 8

Question 13 pts
oee [108]

Answer:

1. 68%

2. 50%

3. 15/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to use the empirical rule

1. % waiting between 15 and 25 minutes

From what we have in the question;

15 is 1 SD below the mean

25 is 1 SD above the mean

So practically, we want to calculate the percentage between;

1 SD below and above the mean

According to the empirical rule;

1 SD above the mean we have 34%

1 SD below, we have 34%

So between 1 SD below and above, we have

34 + 34 = 68%

2. Percentage above the mean

Mathematically, the percentage above the mean according to the empirical rule for the normal distribution is 50%

3. Probability that someone waits less than 5 minutes

Less than 5 minutes is 3 SD below the mean

That is 0.15% according to the empirical rule and the probability is 15/100

Find the surface area of the composite figure.
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

508.68 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given: 2πr^2+2πrh

Givens: r = 3 in, h = 3*8 in = 24 in, π ≈ 3.14

Substitution: 2(3.14)3^2+2(3.14)3*24

Solution: 508.68
