Vail Resorts pays part-time seasonal employees at ski resorts on an hourly basis. At a certain mountain, the hourly rates have a

normal distribution with σ = $3.00. If 20 percent of all part-time seasonal employees make more than $13.16 an hour, what is the average hourly pay rate at this mountain? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Average hourly pay rate $

Answer:

z=0.842

And if we solve for a we got

\mu=13.16 +0.842*3=15.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the hourly rates of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(\mu,3)  

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>13.16)=0.20   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.80 of the area on the left and 0.20 of the area on the right it's z=0.842. On this case P(Z<0.842)=0.8 and P(z>0.842)=0.20

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=0.842

And if we solve for a we got

\mu=13.16 +0.842*3=15.69

Suppose that the waiting time for a license plate renewal at a local office of a state motor vehicle department has been found t
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

a=30 +1.04*8=38.32

So the value of height that separates the bottom 85% of data from the top 15% is 38.32.  

C) 38.32

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

2) Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the waiting time in minutes of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(30,8)  

Where \mu=30 and \sigma=8

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.15   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.85 of the area on the left and 0.15 of the area on the right it's z=1.04. On this case P(Z<1.04)=0.85 and P(z>1.04)=0.15

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=1.04

And if we solve for a we got

a=30 +1.04*8=38.32

So the value of height that separates the bottom 85% of data from the top 15% is 38.32.  

C) 38.32
