Katena32 [7]

Answer:

(a) The fraction of the calls last between 4.50 and 5.30 minutes is 0.3729.

(b) The fraction of the calls last more than 5.30 minutes is 0.1271.

(c) The fraction of the calls last between 5.30 and 6.00 minutes is 0.1109.

(d) The fraction of the calls last between 4.00 and 6.00 minutes is 0.745.

(e) The time is 5.65 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean length of time per call was 4.5 minutes and the standard deviation was 0.70 minutes.

Let X = <u><em>the length of the calls, in minutes.</em></u>

So, X ~ Normal(\mu=4.5,\sigma^{2} =0.70^{2})

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                           Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean time = 4.5 minutes

           \sigma = standard deviation = 0.7 minutes

(a) The fraction of the calls last between 4.50 and 5.30 minutes is given by = P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = P(X < 5.30 min) - P(X \leq 4.50 min)

    P(X < 5.30 min) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{5.30-4.5}{0.7} ) = P(Z < 1.14) = 0.8729

    P(X \leq 4.50 min) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{4.5-4.5}{0.7} ) = P(Z \leq 0) = 0.50

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.14 and x = 0 in the z table which has an area of 0.8729 and 0.50 respectively.

Therefore, P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = 0.8729 - 0.50 = <u>0.3729</u>.

(b) The fraction of the calls last more than 5.30 minutes is given by = P(X > 5.30 minutes)

    P(X > 5.30 min) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{5.30-4.5}{0.7} ) = P(Z > 1.14) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.14)

                                                              = 1 - 0.8729 = <u>0.1271</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.14 in the z table which has an area of 0.8729.

(c) The fraction of the calls last between 5.30 and 6.00 minutes is given by = P(5.30 min < X < 6.00 min) = P(X < 6.00 min) - P(X \leq 5.30 min)

    P(X < 6.00 min) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{6-4.5}{0.7} ) = P(Z < 2.14) = 0.9838

    P(X \leq 5.30 min) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{5.30-4.5}{0.7} ) = P(Z \leq 1.14) = 0.8729

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.14 and x = 1.14 in the z table which has an area of 0.9838 and 0.8729 respectively.

Therefore, P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = 0.9838 - 0.8729 = <u>0.1109</u>.

(d) The fraction of the calls last between 4.00 and 6.00 minutes is given by = P(4.00 min < X < 6.00 min) = P(X < 6.00 min) - P(X \leq 4.00 min)

    P(X < 6.00 min) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{6-4.5}{0.7} ) = P(Z < 2.14) = 0.9838

    P(X \leq 4.00 min) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{4.0-4.5}{0.7} ) = P(Z \leq -0.71) = 1 - P(Z < 0.71)

                                                              = 1 - 0.7612 = 0.2388

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.14 and x = 0.71 in the z table which has an area of 0.9838 and 0.7612 respectively.

Therefore, P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = 0.9838 - 0.2388 = <u>0.745</u>.

(e) We have to find the time that represents the length of the longest (in duration) 5 percent of the calls, that means;

            P(X > x) = 0.05            {where x is the required time}

            P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{x-4.5}{0.7} ) = 0.05

            P(Z > \frac{x-4.5}{0.7} ) = 0.05

Now, in the z table the critical value of x which represents the top 5% of the area is given as 1.645, that is;

                      \frac{x-4.5}{0.7}=1.645

                      {x-4.5}{}=1.645 \times 0.7

                       x = 4.5 + 1.15 = 5.65 minutes.

SO, the time is 5.65 minutes.

EXPLAIN THE ERROR Cody was given two points (1/2,4) and (2/3,1), on a line and asked to create a linear equation in standard for
inessss [21]

Answer:

Cody made a mistake when calculating the slope of the line and this affected every other steps after than.

She divided -3 by 6 instead of -3 by 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x_1,y_1) = (\frac{1}{2},4)

(x_2,y_2) = (\frac{2}{3},1)

<em>See attached for steps</em>

Required

Explain Cody's error

<em>Cody made a mistake when calculating the slope of the line and this affected every other steps after than.</em>

See Proof

Slope (m) is calculated as thus:

m =\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

m =\frac{1 - 4}{\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2}}

m =-\frac{ 3}{\frac{1}{6}}

m = -3/\frac{1}{6}

m = -3 * 6

m = -18

This is in contrast to m = -\frac{1}{2}, calculated by Cody

Solving further to determine the equation.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Where

(x_1,y_1) = (\frac{1}{2},4)

m = -18

y - 4 = -18(x - \frac{1}{2})

y - 4 = -18x + 9

Collect Like Terms

y + 18x = 9 + 4

y + 18x = 13
