He amount of time that a customer spends waiting at an airport check-in counter is a random variable with mean 8.3 minutes and standard deviation 1.4 minutes. Suppose that a random sample of n equals 47 customers is observed. Find the probability that the average time waiting in line for these customers is

a) less than 8 minutes

b) between 8 and 9 minutes

c) less than 7.5 minutes

Answer:

a) 0.0708

b) 0.9291

c) 0.0000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

n = 47

u = 8.3 mins

s.d = 1.4 mins

a) Less than 8 minutes:

$P(X$

P(X' < 8) = P(Z< - 1.47)

Using the normal distribution table:

NORMSDIST(-1.47)

= 0.0708

b) between 8 and 9 minutes:

P(8< X' <9) = $[\frac{8-8.3}{1.4/ \sqrt{47}}< \frac{X'-u}{s.d/ \sqrt{n}} < \frac{9-8.3}{1.4/ \sqrt{47}}]$

= P(-1.47 <Z< 6.366)

= P( Z< 6.366) - P(Z< -1.47)

Using normal distribution table,

$NORMSDIST(6.366)-NORMSDIST(-1.47)$

0.9999 - 0.0708

= 0.9291

c) Less than 7.5 minutes:

P(X'<7.5) = $P [Z< \frac{7.5-8.3}{1.4/ \sqrt{47}}]$

P(X' < 7.5) = P(Z< -3.92)

NORMSDIST (-3.92)

= 0.0000

Line n passes through points (7, 12) and (4, 15). What is the slope of a line that

vitfil [10]

So anytime we have a slope and want to find the slope of a perpendicular line, we just have to remember a perpendicular line's slope is the negative reciprocal (reciprocal means flip the fraction). So if we had a slope of 3/4, the slope perpendicular to it would be - 4/3.

First we need to find our slope, to do this we take the change in y over the change in x like so:

(15-12)/(4-7) = - 3/4

The slope perpendicular to this is 4/3.
