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

ontinuously and normally. The probability a student selected at random takes at least 55.50 minutes to complete the examination equals 0.6915. The probability a student selected at random takes no more than 71.52 minutes to complete the examination equals 0.8997.
a) Determine the value for the mean (u) of the associated distribution
b) Determine the value for the standard deviation (o) of the associated distribution.

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

If C is the MIDPOINT of BD, and BD equals 12, then what does CD equal?
AD = AC+CD, so you only need to find length of CD and add length of AC (which you already have) to it.

Use the graph to determine the domain and range of the relation, and state whether the relation is a function.​
never [62]

Answer:

the domain is { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4... to positive infinity}

The range is {-1, -3, 0, -4 and so on}

this is not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

domain is a set of all x values, so just write the x values based on the graph

range is a set of all y values, so just write y values based on the graph

not function because it doesnt satisfy with the vertical line test.
