Using the <u>normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem</u>, it is found that:
a) There is a 0.1922 = 19.22% probability that Company B would charge more than Company A to deliver a small-item package.
b) The mean amount charged is of RM 51.5, with a standard deviation of 21.35.
In a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation
, the z-score of a measure X is given by:
- It 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, which is the percentile of X.
By the Central Limit Theorem:
- When a <u>fixed constant k</u> multiplies a variable, the mean is
and the standard deviation is
- When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the subtraction of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.
In this question, b is needed to solve a, so I am going to place the solution to item b first.
Item b:
Flat fee of RM20(not considered for the standard deviation), plus a variable fee of RM3.5, hence:
The mean amount charged is of RM 51.5, with a standard deviation of 21.35.
Item a:
This probability is . For the distribution, we have that:
Since A has a constant fee, it's standard deviation is 0, hence:
The probability is <u>1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0</u>, so:
has a p-value of 0.8078.
1 - 0.8078 = 0.1922.
0.1922 = 19.22% probability that Company B would charge more than Company A to deliver a small-item package.

Answer:
y = 1/2x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is in slope-intercept form, so you recognize its slope is -2. The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of that, so is -1/-2 = 1/2.
The y-intercept can be found from ...
b = y -mx . . . . . for line of slope m through point (x, y)
b = -1 -(1/2)(2) = -1 -1 = -2
Then the slope-intercept equation of the perpendicular line is ...
y = 1/2x -2
