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

The bar diagram represents 24 hours in one day and shows a mark at 30%. If you sleep 30% of the day, how many hours do you sleep
Sedbober [7]
30% = 3/10

Number of hours you sleep = 24hours × 3/10
= 24hours ÷ 10 × 3
= 2.4hours × 3
= 7.2hours

pshichka [43]

Answer:

The rental company also provides 4 different sizes of moving boxes for purchase.The volume of each box doubles in size from the volume of the next smallest box

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear functions those relation which produces a straight line graph while non - linear functios produces curves or other shapes asides a straight line. Non linear functios could be quadratic, Exponential or so on in nature.

Equation of a linear equation include :

y = a + bx OR

y = bx

First expression :

y = $50 + x ;

slope, b = 1 ; intercept, a = 50

Third expression :

y(x) = 105x

Second expression:

V(x) = V0 * e^2x

Second expression is exponential while the first and third is linear.
