The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variable x with a mean of 8.9 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.9

minutes. Assume that the distribution of taxi and takeoff times is approximately normal. You may assume that the jets are lined up on a runway so that one taxies and takes off immediately after the other, and that they take off one at a time on a given runway.
(a) What is the probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(b) What is the probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(c) What is the probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

a) 0.2981 = 29.81% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes.

b) 0.999 = 99.9% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes

c) 0.2971 = 29.71% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean of 8.9 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.9 minutes.

This means that \mu = 8.9, \sigma = 2.9

Sample of 37:

This means that n = 37, s = \frac{2.9}{\sqrt{37}}

(a) What is the probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes?

320/37 = 8.64865

Sample mean below 8.64865, which is the p-value of Z when X = 8.64865. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{8.64865 - 8.9}{\frac{2.9}{\sqrt{37}}}

Z = -0.53

Z = -0.53 has a p-value of 0.2981

0.2981 = 29.81% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes.

(b) What is the probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes?

275/37 = 7.4324

Sample mean above 7.4324, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 7.4324. So

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

Z = \frac{7.4324 - 8.9}{\frac{2.9}{\sqrt{37}}}

Z = -3.08

Z = -3.08 has a p-value of 0.001

1 - 0.001 = 0.999

0.999 = 99.9% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes.

(c) What is the probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes?

Sample mean between 7.4324 minutes and 8.64865 minutes, which is the p-value of Z when X = 8.64865 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 7.4324. So

0.2981 - 0.0010 = 0.2971

0.2971 = 29.71% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes

There are 5 cards with a picture of a rose and 3 cards with a picture of a daisy. Alia keeps all the cards down on a table with
Furkat [3]

Answer:

P = 4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 cards with a picture of a rose and 3 cards with a picture of a daisy.

Then we have a total of 8 cards.

Now Alia turns over one card, and this card has a picture of a rose, then she removes it.

This means that now there are 4 cards with a picture of a rose and 3 cards with a picture of a daisy, so now we have a total of 7 cards.

We want to find the probability that the next turned card has also a rose on it.

This will be equal to the quotient between the number of cards with a rose on it (4 cards) and the total number of cards (7)

Then the probability is:

P = 4/7

RSM QUESTION NEED HELP!!!!!! A pharmacist has a 13 % alcohol solution and another 18 % alcohol solution. How much of each must h
Luden [163]

Answer:

40 grams of 13% alcohol solution and 10 grams of 18% alcohol solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

13%(x) + 18%(50-x) = 14%*50g   Multiply them all

0.13x + (9-0.18x) = 7

0.13x-0.18x + 9 = 7   Simplify the equation and subtract 0.13x from 0.18x

9-0.05x = 7   Add 0.05x to each side

9 = 7+0.05x   Subtract 7 from both sides

0.05x = 2   Multiply each side by 100

5x = 200   Divide both sides by 5

x = 40

50 - 40 = 10

40 grams and 10 grams

Your welcome

This is true, so the triangle is a right triangle.

2)
4² + 12² = 13²
16 + 144 = 169
This is false, so the triangle is not a right triangle.

3)
20² + 21² = 27²
400 + 441 = 729
This is false, so the triangle is not a right triangle.

Mrs Wall usually buys 12 pints of milk each week and pays her milkman £3.72. One week she had visitors and ordered an extra 3 pi
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

£4.65 is her bill

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we firstly need to calculate the unit price of a pint

Mathematically, in this case, that will be 3.72/12 = 0.31

ordering 3 extra pints means she would be buying a total 15

The price of this will be;

0.31 * 15 = £4.65
