The amount of time a passenger waits at an airport check-in counter is random variable with mean 10 minutes and standard deviati

on of 2 minutes. Suppose a random sample of 50 customers is observed. Calculate the probability that the average waiting time waiting in line for this sample is (a) less than 10 minutes (b) between 5 and 10 minutes

Answer:

(a) less than 10 minutes

= 0.5

(b) between 5 and 10 minutes

= 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using z score formula. We given a random number of samples, z score formula :

z-score is z = (x-μ)/ Standard error where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

Standard error : σ/√n

σ is the population standard deviation

n = number of samples

(a) less than 10 minutes

x = 10 μ = 10, σ = 2 n = 50

z = 10 - 10/2/√50

z = 0 / 0.2828427125

z = 0

Using the z table to find the probability

P(z ≤ 0) = P(z < 0) = P(x = 10)

= 0.5

Therefore, the probability that the average waiting time waiting in line for this sample is less than 10 minutes = 0.5

(b) between 5 and 10 minutes

i) For 5 minutes

x = 5 μ = 10, σ = 2 n = 50

z = 5 - 10/2/√50

z = -5 / 0.2828427125

= -17.67767

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<5) = 0

Using the z table to find the probability

P(z ≤ 0) = P(z = -17.67767) = P(x = 5)

= 0

ii) For 10 minutes

x = 10 μ = 10, σ = 2 n = 50

z = 10 - 10/2/√50

z = 0 / 0.2828427125

z = 0

Using the z table to find the probability

P(z ≤ 0) = P(z < 0) = P(x = 10)

= 0.5

Hence, the probability that the average waiting time waiting in line for this sample is between 5 and 10 minutes is

P(x = 10) - P(x = 5)

= 0.5 - 0

= 0.5

At the bookstore, 40 copies of a popular paperback book fit perfectly on a 5-foot shelf. How many copies of this book would fit
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

64 books

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the number of books that will fit in the shelve per foot

= 40/5

= 8

Therefore the number of books that will fit perfectly in 8-foot shelf can be calculated as follows

= 8×8

= 64

Hence 64 books would fit in 8-foot shelf

Andreyy89

Answer:

2(L+W) = 34

L + W = 17

.

L*W = 52

.

L = 2W+5

.

2L + 2W = 34

L - 2W = 5

--------------- add

3L = 39

L = 13
