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 $\sigma = 9$

A ferry departs from a port along the Sands River at 10:00 am. The ferry travels at a speed of 15 mph in still water and returns

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Speed of river's current = 5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'd' be the distance covered

Let x be the speed of the rivers current

Speed upstream = 15-x

speed downstream = 15+x

Time = distance / speed

time upstream = $\frac{d}{15-x}$

time downstream = $\frac{d}{15+x}$

the ferry trip upstream takes twice as long as its return trip downstream

$\frac{d}{15-x}$ = $\frac{2d}{15+x}$

divide both sides by d

$\frac{1}{15-x}$ = $\frac{2}{15+x}$

cross multiply

$15+x= 2(15-x)$

$15+x= 30-2x$

Add 2x on both sideds

$15+3x= 30$

subtract 15 from both sides and divide by 3

$3x=15$

x=5

Speed of river's current = 5 mph

6w-10 represents the total amount of fence will need to complete the rectangle of fence in his yard. The fence will need two lengths and 2 widths to complete the rectangle. If the width is w, and the length is 2w-5, then the total for the rectangle would be w+w+2w-5+2w-5 which simplifies to 6w-10.
