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

<span>In order to find the standard deviation, we first have to calculate the mean (average) of the numbers. To get this we add all the numbers together and then divide by 12 since there are 12 numbers. The mean = 782. Next, we take each number and subtract the mean, taking the result and squaring it. For this we get: 6724, 2209, 10404, 11664, 729, 1764, 12544, 9, 529, 71824, 1444, 1024. Now we sum all of these up and take the average by dividing the sum by 12. Doing this we get 120868/12=10072. The last step is the take the square root of that number to get the standard deviation. The final result is 100.</span>

Suppose the radius of a circle is 8. What is its area?
monitta
The Formula to find the Area of a circle using the radius is:
A =  \pi r^2

r = 8
So:
A =  \pi r^2
A =  \pi 8^2
A = \pi64

And you get about 201.06193

So, the area of a circle with a radius of 8 is about 201.06

Hope this Helps :)
