sible. Contestants lose 33 points for each second they speak either over or under 55 minutes. Which expression below can be used to determine the number of points a contestant loses if she speaks for xx seconds? Choose 1 answer: 3|x-300|

Solution:

Duration of time for which a contestant have to speak = 5 minutes (300 Seconds)

Point lost by a contestant for over-speaking that is for more than 5 minutes for each second = 3 points

Point lost by a contestant for speaking less than 5 minutes on each second = 3 points

So, the expression which can determine ,the number of points a contestant loses if she speaks for x seconds.

⇒Number of points a contestant loses if she speaks for x seconds=3 \times\left |x-300 \right |

For, example if a contestant speaks for 290 seconds,Points lost by contestant = 3 \times\left |290-300 \right |=3 × 10= 30 Points

If a contestant speaks for 305 seconds,Points lost by contestant = 3 \times\left |305-300 \right |=3 × 5= 15 Points

Option (A)= 3 \times\left |x-300 \right | is right choice describing above situation.

Complete question:

He amount of time that a customer spends waiting at an airport check-in counter is a random variable with mean 8.3 minutes and standard deviation 1.4 minutes. Suppose that a random sample of n equals 47 customers is observed. Find the probability that the average time waiting in line for these customers is

a) less than 8 minutes

b) between 8 and 9 minutes

c) less than 7.5 minutes

Answer:

a) 0.0708

b) 0.9291

c) 0.0000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

n = 47

u = 8.3 mins

s.d = 1.4 mins

a) Less than 8 minutes:

P(X

P(X' < 8) = P(Z< - 1.47)

Using the normal distribution table:

NORMSDIST(-1.47)

= 0.0708

b) between 8 and 9 minutes:

P(8< X' <9) =[\frac{8-8.3}{1.4/ \sqrt{47}}< \frac{X'-u}{s.d/ \sqrt{n}} < \frac{9-8.3}{1.4/ \sqrt{47}}]

= P(-1.47 <Z< 6.366)

= P( Z< 6.366) - P(Z< -1.47)

Using normal distribution table,

NORMSDIST(6.366)-NORMSDIST(-1.47)

0.9999 - 0.0708

= 0.9291

c) Less than 7.5 minutes:

P(X'<7.5) = P [Z< \frac{7.5-8.3}{1.4/ \sqrt{47}}]

P(X' < 7.5) = P(Z< -3.92)

NORMSDIST (-3.92)

= 0.0000
