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.

How do you write 0.12 as a fraction
Arturiano [62]

[ Answer ]

\boxed{\frac{3}{25} }

[ Explanation ]

Rewrite 0.12 As A Fraction

-----------------------------

Rewrite Decimal As A Fraction With 1 As A Denominator

0.12 = \frac{0.12}{1}

Multiply To Remove Decimal Places

\frac{0.12}{1} · \frac{100}{100} = \frac{12}{100}

Find GCF, Reduce Fraction

\frac{12 \ / \ 4}{100 \ / \ 4} = \frac{3}{25}

0.12 = \frac{3}{25}

\boxed{\boxed{[ \ Eclipsed \ ]}}

What is the explicit formula for the sequence?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a_{n} = n - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the difference between consecutive terms is constant, that is

0 - (- 1) = 0 + 1 = 1

1 - 0 = 1

2 - 1 = 1

3 - 2 = 1

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 1 and d = 1, thus

a_{n} = - 1 + n - 1 = n - 2
