Answer:

The interval that describes how long it takes for passengers to board the middle 95% of the time is between 40.16 minutes and 55.84 minutes.

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 problem, we have that:

\mu = 48, \sigma = 4.

Which interval describes how long it takes for passengers to board the middle 95% of the time?

This is between the 2.5th percentile and the 97.5th percentile.

So this interval is the value of X when Z has a a pvalue of 0.025 and the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.975

Lower Limit

Z has a pvalue of 0.025 when Z = -1.96. So

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

-1.96 = \frac{X - 48}{4}

X - 48 = -1.96*4

X = 40.16

Upper Limit

Z has a pvalue of 0.975 when Z = 1.96. So

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

1.96 = \frac{X - 48}{4}

X - 48 = 1.96*4

X = 55.84

The interval that describes how long it takes for passengers to board the middle 95% of the time is between 40.16 minutes and 55.84 minutes.

What are the slope of the y intercept of the line represented by the points shown on the table
Art [367]
The Y intercept is where the function passes/ intercepts the y axis. On a table, it is where x is 0, in this case the y intercept is -20. The slope is found by change in y over change in x. So choose any two coordinates to find change. 10/5=2. So your answer is A.
