The amount of time all students in a very large undergraduate statistics course take to complete an examination is distributed c

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

a) The mean is $\mu = 60$

b) The standard deviation is $\sigma = 9$

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 zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The probability a student selected at random takes at least 55.50 minutes to complete the examination equals 0.6915.

This means that when X = 55.5, Z has a pvalue of 1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085. This means that when $X = 55.5, Z = -0.5$

So

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

$-0.5 = \frac{55.5 - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-0.5\sigma = 55.5 - \mu$

$\mu = 55.5 + 0.5\sigma$

The probability a student selected at random takes no more than 71.52 minutes to complete the examination equals 0.8997.

This means that when X = 71.52, Z has a pvalue of 0.8997. This means that when $X = 71.52, Z = 1.28$

So

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

$1.28 = \frac{71.52 - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.28\sigma = 71.52 - \mu$

$\mu = 71.52 - 1.28\sigma$

Since we also have that $\mu = 55.5 + 0.5\sigma$

$55.5 + 0.5\sigma = 71.52 - 1.28\sigma$

$1.78\sigma = 71.52 - 55.5$

$\sigma = \frac{(71.52 - 55.5)}{1.78}$

$\sigma = 9$

$\mu = 55.5 + 0.5\sigma = 55.5 + 0.5*9 = 55.5 + 4.5 = 60$

Question

The mean is $\mu = 60$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 9$

You get a large ice-cream cone for $2.99 and a bottle of water for $1.07 . You pay with a 10 -dollar bill. How much change will

Igoryamba

10 - 2.99 = 7.01 and 7.01 - 1.07 = 5.94 so you will get 5.94 in change

The sides of a rhombus with angle of 60° are 6 inches. Find the area of the rhombus.

ehidna [41]

1. Check the drawing of the rhombus ABCD in the picture attached.

2. m(CDA)=60°, and AC and BD be the diagonals and let their intersection point be O.

3. The diagonals:
i) bisect the angles so m(ODC)=60°/2=30°

ii) are perpendicular to each other, so m(DOC)=90°

4. In a right triangle, the length of the side opposite to the 30° angle is half of the hypothenuse, so OC=3 in.

5. By the pythagorean theorem, $DO= \sqrt{ DC^{2}- OC^{2} }= \sqrt{ 6^{2}- 3^{2} }=\sqrt{ 36- 9 }=\sqrt{ 27 }= \sqrt{9*3}=$
$=\sqrt{9}* \sqrt{3} =3\sqrt{3} (in)$

6. The 4 triangles formed by the diagonal are congruent, so the area of the rhombus ABCD = 4 Area (triangle DOC)=4* $\frac{DO*OC}{2}=4 \frac{3 \sqrt{3} *3}{2}$ = $=2*9 \sqrt{3}=18 \sqrt{3}$ ( $in^{2}$ )

1. The probability of telesales representative making a sale on a customer call is 0.15.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

1c

$n = 33$

1d

$n = 19$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The probability of telesales representative making a sale on a customer call is $p = 0.15$

The mean is $\mu = 5$

Generally the distribution of sales call made by a telesales representative follows a binomial distribution

i.e

$X \~ \ \ \ B(n , p)$

and the probability distribution function for binomial distribution is

$P(X = x) = ^{n}C_x * p^x * (1- p)^{n-x}$

Here C stands for combination hence we are going to be making use of the combination function in our calculators

Generally the mean is mathematically represented as

$\mu = n* p$

=> $5= n * 0.15$

=> $n = 33$

Generally the least number of calls that need to be made by a representative for the probability of at least 1 sale to exceed 0.95 is mathematically represented as

$P( X \ge 1) = 1 - P( X < 1 ) > 0.95$
