Answer:
The probability that <em>X</em> is less than 42 is 0.1271.
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable <em>X </em>follows a Normal distribution.
The mean and standard deviation are:
E (X) = <em>μ</em> = 50.
SD (X) = <em>σ</em> = 7.
A normal distribution is continuous probability distribution.
The Normal probability distribution with mean µ and standard deviation σ is given by,
To compute the probability of a Normal random variable we first standardize the raw score.
The raw scores are standardized using the formula:
These standardized scores are known as <em>z</em>-scores and they follow normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.
Compute the probability of (X < 42) as follows:
*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.
Thus, the probability that <em>X</em> is less than 42 is 0.1271.
The normal curve is shown below.
Given:
The cost y (in dollars) of renting a segway for x hours is
To find:
The initial fee and the cost per hour.
Solution:
We have,
...(i)
The slope intercept form of a linear equation is
...(ii)
where, m is slope is b is y-intercept or initial value.
From (i) and (ii), we get
The value of m is 30, so the slope is 30. It means cost per hour is $30.
The value of b is 25, so y-intercept is 25. It means the initial fee is $25.
