Avoiding an accident when driving can depend on reaction time. That time, measured in seconds from the moment the driver see dan

ger until they step on the brake pedal, can be described by the Normal model �(1.5, 0.18). (15 pts) a) What percent of drivers have a reaction time less than 1.35 seconds? b) What percent of drivers have a reaction time greater than 1.9 seconds? c) What percent of drivers have a reaction time between 1.45 and 1.75 seconds? d) Describe the reaction time of the slowest 10% of all drivers? (hint: the slower a person reacts, the higher their reaction time) e) In what interval reaction times do the middle 60% of all drivers fall

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

A normal model is represented as (μ, σ). Therefore for (1.5, 0.18), the mean (μ) = 1.5 and the standard deviation (σ) = 0.18

The z score shows by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given as:

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

a) For x < 1.35 s

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{1.35-1.5}{0.18}=-0.83

From the normal distribution table, the percent of drivers have a reaction time less than 1.35 seconds = P(x < 1.35) = P(z < -0.83) = 0.2033 = 20.33%

b) For x > 1.9 s

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{1.9-1.5}{0.18}=2.22

From the normal distribution table, the percent of drivers have a reaction time greater than 1.9 seconds = P(x > 1.9) = P(z > 2.22) = 1 - P(z<2.22) = 1 - 0.9868 = 0.0132 = 1.32%

c) For x = 1.45

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{1.45-1.5}{0.18}=-0.28

For x = 1.75

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{1.75-1.5}{0.18}=1.39

From the normal distribution table, P(1.45 < x < 1.75) = P(-0.28 < z < 1.39) = P(z < 1.39) - P(z< - 0.28) = 0.9177 - 0.3897 = 0.528 = 52.8%

d) A percentage of 10% corresponds to a z score of -1.28

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\-1.28=\frac{x-1.5}{0.18}\\\\x-1.5=-0.2034\\\\x=1.27

e) P(z < z1) - P(z< -z1) = 60%

P(z < z1) - P(z< -z1) = 0.6

P(z < -z1) = 1 - P(z < z1)

P(z<z1) - (1 - P(z < z1)) = 0.6

2P(z<z1) - 1= 0.6

2P(z<z1) = 1.6

P(z<z1) = 0.8

From the z table, z1 = 0.85

0.85=\frac{x-1.5}{0.18}and-0.85=\frac{x -1.5}{0.18}  \\\\x=1.65 \ and\ x=1.35

The reaction time between 1.35 and 1.65 seconds

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

if my calculation are correct, it's 295 grams

Explanation:

because liters converted to grams is .1=100 so if you take 2.95 times 100, it equals 295

Gaseous vapor observed when handling dry ice (solid co_2 ​2 ​​ ) physical or chemical
Nadya [2.5K]
<span>Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. It is easy to assume that the fog surrounds dry ice is carbon dioxide returning to it's gaseous however, you can not see that process. The vapors you see is the water molecules in the air condensing as a result of the cooling or energy removal by the dry ice. When energy is removed from water molecules they become colder and move slower than water in a gaseous. Similar to clouds in the air, the water condenses into a form that you can see.</span>
