Answer:
The travel time that separates the top 2.5% of the travel times from the rest is of 91.76 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the z-score of a measure X is given by:
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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Mean of 80 seconds and a standard deviation of 6 seconds.
This means that 
What travel time separates the top 2.5% of the travel times from the rest?
This is the 100 - 2.5 = 97.5th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.975, so X when Z = 1.96.




The travel time that separates the top 2.5% of the travel times from the rest is of 91.76 seconds.
Answer:
Error Bound = 0.04
Step-by-step explanation:
Whenever we want to estimate parameter from a subset (or sample) of the population, we need to considerate that your estimation won't be a 100% precise, in other words, the process will have a random component that prevents us from always making the exact decision.
With that in mind, the objective of a confidence interval is to give us a better insight of where we expect to find the "true" value of the parameter with a certain degree of certainty.
The estivamative of the true difference between proportions was -0.19 and the confidence interval was [-0.23 ; -0.15].
The question also defines the error bound, as the right endpoint of the confidence interval minus the sample mean difference, so it's pretty straight foward:
Error Bound = 
The interpretation of this would be that we expect that the estimative for the difference of proportions would deviate from the "true" difference about
or 4%.
Answer: in 95% of races, his finishing time will be between 62 and 64 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The empirical rule states that for a normal distribution, nearly all of the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean . The empirical rule is further illustrated below
68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean.
95% fall within two standard deviations.
99.7% fall within three standard deviations.
From the information given, the mean is 63 seconds and the standard deviation is 5 seconds.
2 standard deviations = 2 × 0.5 = 1
63 - 1 = 62 seconds
63 + 1 = 64 seconds
Therefore, in 95% of races, his finishing time will be between 62 and 64 seconds.
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
Good afternoon,
x= first odd integer
x+2 = second odd integer
x+4= third intenger
The sum of the trhree integer is 195, so:
x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 195
3x = 195 - 4 - 2
3x=189
x= 63
Then the Answer is: 63, 65 and 67
