Students who have completed a speed reading course have reading speeds that are normally distributed with a mean of 950 words pe

r minute and a standard deviation equal to 220 words per minute. Based on this information, what is the probability of a student reading at more than 1400 words per minute after finishing the course? A) 0.5207 B) 0.4798 C) 0.9798 D) 0.0202

Answer:

(D) 0.0202

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean(μ) = 950

Standard deviation(σ) = 220

Pr(x>1400) = ???

Using normal distribution,

Z = (X - μ) / σ

Z = (1400 - 950) / 220

Z = 450/220

Z = 2.05

From the normal distribution table 2.05 = 0.4798

Φ(z) = 0.4798

Don't forget that if Z is positive, Pr(x>a) = 0.5 - Φ(x)

Pr(x>1400) = 0.5 - 0.4798

= 0.0202

A waitress works 1.75 hours less in the afternoon than in the evening. If she works 5      1/8
gayaneshka [121]
Let x be the number of hours that the waitress works in the evening.

We know for our problem that she works 5 \frac{1}{8} in the afternoon and that she works <span>1.75 hours less in the afternoon than in the evening, so:
</span>x=5 \frac{1}{8} -1.75
<span>Since </span>\frac{1}{8} =0.125, we can rewrite our expression:
x=5.125-1.75
x=3.375

We can conclude that she works 3.375 hours in the evening, or expressed as a mixed fraction: 3 \frac{3}{8} hours.

The life expectancy of a particular brand of tire is normally distributed with a mean of 40,000 and a standard deviation of 5,00
timama [110]

Answer: the probability that a randomly selected tire will have a life of exactly 47,500 miles is 0.067

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the life expectancy of a particular brand of tire is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = life expectancy of the brand of tire in miles.

µ = mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 40000 miles

σ = 5000 miles

The probability that a randomly selected tire will have a life of exactly 47,500 miles

P(x = 47500)

For x = 47500,

z = (40000 - 47500)/5000 = - 1.5

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.067

The mapping diagram shows a functional relationship
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

f(4)=\frac{1}{2}

f(x) = 4 when x is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is the set of x values that make the function defined. Allowed x values for the function (mapping).

The Range is the set of y values that make the function defined. Allowed y values for the function (mapping).

  • Whenever we need to find f(a), suppose, then we look for "a" in the domain and see its corresponding value mapping in the range.
  • Whenever we will be given a value for f(x) = a, suppose, and we have to find "x", we look at the value a in the range and find corresponding x value in the domain.

Firstly, we need f(4), so we look for "4" in domain and see which number it corresponds to in range.

That is \frac{1}{2}

Thus,

f(4)=\frac{1}{2}

Next,

We want "x" value that gives us a "y" value of 4. We look for "4" in the range and see which value it corresponds to. That is "8". So,

f(8) = 4
