Question

The amount of time devoted to studying statistics each week by students who achieve a

Answer 1

Answer:

a) the probability of A students study for more than 10 hours per week

P(X>10) = 0.117

b) The probability that an student spends between 7 and 9 hour

P(7<x< 9) = 0.9522

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(I):-

Let 'X' be random variable of  the normal distributed with a mean of 7.5 hours and standard deviation of 2.1 hours

mean of the Population is = 7.5 hours

standard deviation of the Population = 2.1 hours

$Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D}$

Z = 1.1904

The probability of A students study for more than 10 hours per week

P(X>10) = 0.5-A(Z₁) = 0.5 -A(1.1904) = 0.5 - 0.3830 = 0.117

Step(ii):-

Put x=7

$Z = \frac{7-7.5}{2.1}= -0.238$

put x=9

$Z = \frac{9-7.5}{2.1} = 0.7142$

The probability that an A student spends between 7 and 9 hour

P(7 < x< 9) = A(9) - A(7)

                 = 0.7142 +0.238

= 0.9522
