1. A supermarket manager has determined that the amount of time customers spend in the supermarket is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 45 minutes and a standard deviation of 6 minutes. Find the probability that: a. A customer spends less than 48 minutes in the supermarket(3pts) b. Customer spends between 39 and 43 minutes in the supermarket(3pts)
a)
P(x < 48)=
P(z < (48-45)/6)=
P(z < 0.5)=0.6914
b)
P(39 < x < 43)=
P((39-45)/6 < z < (43-45)/6)=
P(-1 < z < -1/3)=0.2108
P(x < 48)=
P(z < (48-45)/6)=
P(z < 0.5)=0.6914
b)
P(39 < x < 43)=
P((39-45)/6 < z < (43-45)/6)=
P(-1 < z < -1/3)=0.2108

In a normal distribution with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 3, what percent of the elements are between 64 and 76?
z1=(64-70)/3=-2
z2=(76-70)/3=2
P(64 < x < 76)=
P(-2 < z < 2)=
0.9545
z2=(76-70)/3=2
P(64 < x < 76)=
P(-2 < z < 2)=
0.9545

assume that SAT scores are normally distributed with mean u=1518 and standard deviation of 325 B) If 100 SAT scores are selected find the probability that they have a mean less than 1500
n=100
u=ux=1518
o=325
ox=325/root(100)=32.5
P(x<1500)=
P((x-ux)/ox < (1500-1518)/32.5)=
P(z<-0.5538)=
0.2898
u=ux=1518
o=325
ox=325/root(100)=32.5
P(x<1500)=
P((x-ux)/ox < (1500-1518)/32.5)=
P(z<-0.5538)=
0.2898

The mean, the median, and the mode of the five numbers below are all equal. What number does A represent? 1.8 1.6 2.1 1.7 A
sorted: 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 2.1
Mean = (A+7.2)/5
the middle choices are 1.7 and 1.8. Test 1.7:
A=5*1.7-7.2= 1.3 (no because this value leaves us without a mode)
Testing 1.8:
A=5*1.8-7.2= 1.8
A=1.8
:)

If mu is 68 and sigma is 4 what is the probability that x is greater then 72
Assuming normal distribution

If the variance of the ages of the people who attended a rock concert is 22, what is the standard deviation of the ages? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Standard deviation is the square root of variance so:
