Answer:

a) 33.33%)

b) 135 minutes

c) 8.66 min

d) 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) the probability for a uniform distribution is

P(b<X<a) = (a-b)/(c-d) , where c and d are the maximum and minimum values

therefore the probability that the flight is more than 140 minutes ( and less than 150 since it is the maximum value)

P(140<X<150) = (a-b)/(c-d) = (150-140)/(150-120) = 10/30 = 1/3 (33.33%)

b) the mean (expected value) for a uniform probability distribution is

E(X) = (c+d)/2 = (120+150)/2 = 135 minutes

c)  the standard deviation for a uniform probability distribution is

σ²(X)= (c-d)²/12 = (150-120)²/12 = 75 min²

σ = √75 min² = 8.66 min

b) following the same procedure as in a)

P(120<X<135) = (a-b)/(c-d) = (135-120)/(150-120) = 15/30 = 1/2 (50%)

How do you work out a percentile rank of a score of 57
arlik [135]
To do that you'll need the mean and standard deviation of all the scores.  Can you provide this info?

For example:  Supposing that the mean of these scores were 52 and the standard deviation 3.  You'd need to find the "z-score" of 57 in this case.
               57 - 52
It is  z = ------------ , or z = 5/3, or z = 1.67.
                     3

Find the area to the left of z = 1.67.  Multiply that area by 100% to find the percentile rank of the score 57.
