A professor's son, having made the wise decision to drop out of college, has been finding his way in life taking one job or anot

her, leaving when his creativity is overly stifled or the employer tires of his creativity. The professor dutifully logs the duration of his son's last few careers and has determined that the average duration is normally distributed with a mean of sixty-six weeks and a standard deviation of ten weeks. The next career begins on Monday; what is the likelihood that it endures for less than a year and a half?

Answer:

88.88% probability that it endures for less than a year and a half

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. 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, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 66, \sigma = 10

The next career begins on Monday; what is the likelihood that it endures for less than a year and a half?

One year has 52.14 weeks. So a year and a half has 1.5*52.14 = 78.21 weeks.

So this probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 78.21.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{78.21 - 66}{10}

Z = 1.22

Z = 1.22 has a pvalue of 0.8888

88.88% probability that it endures for less than a year and a half

Who made an error? <br> The correct scale factor= ?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

reggie made an error

the correct scale factor is 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

we want to get from A to A', B to B', and ultimately C to C'

to get there, we must multiply each value in each point by the scale factor.

let's start out with reggie's scale factor. he multiplies each value in C by 3/2 to get to C'. we can try this out with one point, e.g. A

for A: 3/2 * (-12, -6) = (-18, -9). this is not A' = (-8, -4)! thus, 3/2 cannot be the scale factor

now, onto hillary's scale factor of 2/3

for A: 2/3 * (-12, -6) = (-8, -4). this is A'! thus, hillary is correct and reggie made an error

the correct scale factor is thus hillary's: 2/3
