Answer:

0.6535

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that during a one-hour period twenty-five customers buy gasoline at this station.

Let X be the no of persons out of these 25 who pay by cash.

X has two outcomes and each trial is independent of other.

Hence X is binomial (n=25, p=0.40)

Required probability

= P(X\geq 10)\\=P(10)+P(11)+...+P(25)\\=\Sigma_{10}^{25}  25Cr (0.4)^r (1-0.4)^{25-r}

=0.6535

The length of time a full length movie runs from opening to credits is normally distributed with a mean of 1.9 hours and standar
Margarita [4]

Answer:

  1. 0.26
  2. 0.91
  3. 1.43

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

mean = 1.9 hours

standard deviation = 0.3 hours

solution

we get here first  random movie between 1.8 and 2.0 hours

so here

P(1.8 < z < 2 )

z = (1.8 - 1.9) ÷ 0.3

z = -0.33

and

z = (2.0 - 1.9) ÷ 0.3

z = 0.33

z = 0.6293

so

P(-0.333 < z < 0.333 )

=  0.26

so random movie is between 1.8 and 2.0 hours long is 0.26

and

A movie is longer than 2.3 hours.

P(x > 2.3)

P( \frac{x-\mu }{\sigma}  > \frac{2.3-\mu }{\sigma} )

P (z  > \frac{2.3-1.9 }{0.3}  )

P (z  > 1.333  )

= 0.091

so chance a movie is longer than 2.3 hours is 0.091

and

length of movie that is shorter than 94% of the movies is

P(x > a ) = 0.94

P(x <  a ) = 0.06

so

P( \frac{x-\mu }{\sigma } <  \frac{a-\mu }{\sigma } )

\frac{a-1.9 }{0.3 } = -1.55

a = 1.43

so length of the movie that is shorter than 94% of the movies about 1.4 hours.
