The amount of time that people spend at Grover Hot Springs Spa is normally distributed with a mean of 63 minutes and a standard

deviation of 18 minutes. Answer the following, rounding probabilities to 4 decimal places. Let X= the amount of time that a person spends at Grover Hot Springs Spa a. The distribution is X ~ ( , ) b. What's the probability that a randomly chosen person spends more than 90 minutes at the Spa ?c. What's the probability that a randomly person spends less than 45 minutes at the Spa?d. What's the probability that a randomly person spends between 60 and 90 minutes at the Spa?e. Find the IQR. minutes Round answers to 2 decimals.

Answer:

a)X \sim N(63,18)  

Where \mu=63 and \sigma=18

b) P(X>90)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{90-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{90-63}{18})=P(Z>1.5)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table or excel:

P(Z>1.5)=1-P(Z

c) P(X

P(Z

d) P(60

P(-0.167

P(-0.167

e)  IQR = 75.13-50.87=24.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the amount of time that people spend at Grover Hot Springs of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(63,18)  

Where \mu=63 and \sigma=18

Part b

We are interested on this probability

P(X>90)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>90)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{90-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{90-63}{18})=P(Z>1.5)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table or excel:

P(Z>1.5)=1-P(Z

Part c

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel:

P(Z

Part d

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(60

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.167

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-0.167

Part e

Q1

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.75   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.25 of the area on the left and 0.75 of the area on the right it's z=-0.674. On this case P(Z<-0.674)=0.25 and P(z>-0.674)=0.75

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-0.674

And if we solve for a we got

a=63 -0.674*18=50.87

So the value of height that separates the bottom 25% of data from the top 75% is 50.87.  

Q3

Since the distribution is symmetrical we repaeat the procedure for Q1 but now with z= 0.674

z=0.674

And if we solve for a we got

a=63 +0.674*18=75.13

And then the IQR = 75.13-50.87=24.26

You are walking along a path y= 2x + 12 and your
UNO [17]

Answer:

(-1,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

At the point when the paths cross, the respective x and y values of each equation will be equal.

Your path is y=2x+12, and your friends path is 4x+y=6. Sub 2x+12 in for y (from your path's equation) into your friends equation to find the value of x:

4x+2x+12=6

6x=-6

x=-1

y=2x+12

y=2(-1)+12=10

So you will cross paths at (-1,10)

Find the values of x and y
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

x = 15°

y = 59°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles at a right angle add up to 90°

41 + y = 90

y = 90 - 41

y = 59°

Angles in a triangle add up to 180°

41 + (2x - 9) + 7x + 13 = 180

41 + 13 - 9 + 2x + 7x = 180

45 + 9x = 180

9x = 180 - 45

9x = 135

x = 135/9

x = 15°

the table below shows the function of f determine the value of f(3) that will lead to an average rate of change of 19 over the i
3241004551 [841]

ANSWER

f(3) =  - 25

EXPLANATION

We want to determine the value of f(3) that will lead to an average rate of change of 19 over the interval [3, 5].

The average rate of change of f(x) over the interval [a,b]:

=  \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

If the average rate of change over the interval [3, 5] is 19, then;

\frac{f(5) - f(3)}{5 - 3}  = 19

From the to table f(5)=13

\frac{13 - f(3)}{2}  = 19

13 - f(3) = 19 \times 2

13 - f(3) = 38

- f(3) = 38 - 13

- f(3) = 25

f(3) =  - 25

2(4a - 4b) + 4(3a + 2b)<br><br>plz solve this!!! ​
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

2(4a - 4b) + 4(3a + 2b) = 20a

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4a - 4b) + 4(3a + 2b)

8a - 8b + 12a + 8b

8a + 12b - 8b + 8b

20a+ 0 = 20a

Thus, 2(4a - 4b) + 4(3a + 2b) = 20a
