Answer:

A visit must be of at least 42.39 minutes to put a shopper in the longest 10 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 27.8 minutes and a standard deviation of 11.4 minutes.

This means that \mu = 27.8, \sigma = 11.4

How long must a visit be to put a shopper in the longest 10 percent?

The 100 - 10 = 90th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.9, so X when Z = 1.28.

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

1.28 = \frac{X - 27.8}{11.4}

X - 27.8 = 1.28*11.4

X = 42.39

A visit must be of at least 42.39 minutes to put a shopper in the longest 10 percent.

Find the values of the mode when median is given to be 5 and mean is 7.
Reil [10]

Answer:

<u>Mode = 1</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Relation between the Central Measures of Tendency</u>

  • Mean, Median, and Mode are commonly referred to as the Central Measures of Tendency
  • The formula between the three is given by :
  • ⇒ <u>Mode = 3Median - 2Mean</u> or <u>Mode + 2Mean = 3Median</u>

<u></u>

<u>Solving</u>

  • We know that :
  1. Median = 5
  2. Mean = 7

Therefore,

  • Mode = 3(5) - 2(7)
  • Mode = 15 - 14
  • <u>Mode = 1</u>
