The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.21 minutes and a st

andard deviation of 1.90. Find the probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 5 minutes to select a shoe purchase. Is this outcome unusual?

Answer:

4.55% probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 5 minutes to select a shoe purchase.

Since Z > -2 and Z < 2, this outcome is not considered unusual.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

If Z \leq 2 or Z \geq 2, the outcome X is considered to be unusual.

In this question:

\mu = 8.21, \sigma = 1.9

Find the probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 5 minutes to select a shoe purchase.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 5. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{5 - 8.21}{1.9}

Z = -1.69

Z = -1.69 has a pvalue of 0.0455.

4.55% probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 5 minutes to select a shoe purchase.

Since Z > -2 and Z < 2, this outcome is not considered unusual.

Elenna [48]

Answer: 1.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Z = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Z = (85 - 71.4) / 11.5

Z = 13.6 / 11.5 = 1.18

Please solve with explanation I’ve been asking for a while!

Answer:

Check attached images.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oook, we're in for some number crunching.

Let's assume we already know that all 3 medians intersect in the same point A (same as the letter of the question, to make things easier), as do perpendicular bisectors of the sides in B, as do altitudes in C.*

a. Intersection of the medians is the easiest to compute, and its coordinates is the average of the vertex: hat's because it splits each medians in two parts, one being twice the other. By simple calculation, you can see the first point is A(1;3)

b. Intersection fof the right bisectors is done by picking two sides, writing down the equation of the bisectors, and watching where they meet . The easiest one to use is EG, since it's parallel to the x-axis, and the bisector goes through the middle point, red line in the image. As a second let's use the blue line. We know it goes to the midpoint of EF, which we can easily found with the average, and is perpendicular to EF (so the two slopes multiplied gives -1). Once we get the two lines we can simply calculate their intersect, which is the point B(\frac32; \frac72).

c. Finally, for the altitudes. One is easy to spot, and it's the y axis, whose equation is x=0.  The other, let's use the green line in my picture(s), since we know it's parallel to the blue line and saves us some computation: it passes through point G and has the same slope. Intersecting the two we get the third and last point, C(0;2).

d. there are plenty of ways to do so. if you know how to calculate the area of the triangle with determinants, you can plug the coordinates of A, B and C and see if you get 0.

Else, let's write the equation of the line between A and C, and see if B coordinates satisfies it.

That was quite the chore.

(*That two of them intersect is obvious, proof of the three theorems are about the third passing for the same point)

HELPPP PLEASE !!!!
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

P(B)= 17/20

Step-by-step explanation:

The audience of the magic show is conformed by a total of 120 people, 52 of which are female and 68 are men.

Within the audience there is a school class of 37, of these students, 17 are female and 20 are male.

If a random member of the audience is selected as a volunteer:

Let "A" represent the event that "the selected volunteer is a student of the class"

And "B" the event that "the selected student is female"

You have to calculate the probability of the selected volunteer being female, given that it is a member of the school class.

Symbolically:

P(B|A)

Using the formula of conditional probabilities you can calculate it as:

P(A∩B)= =

As you can see the probability of the event "The volunteer is female given that it was a student of the school class" means that you already know the selected volunteer was a student and only needed to calculate the probability of that student being female.

P(B)= 17/20

I hope this helps
