Answer:

11.70% probability someone will spend no more than 30 minutes reading online national news reports.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 49, \sigma = 16

What is the probability someone will spend no more than 30 minutes reading online national news reports?

This is at most 30 minutes, so 30 or less minutes. This is the pvalue of Z when X = 30.

So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{30 - 49}{16}

Z = -1.19

Z = -1.19 has a pvalue of 0.1170.

So there is a 11.70% probability someone will spend no more than 30 minutes reading online national news reports.

If mc022-1.j pg and mc022-2.j pg, what is the value of (f – g)(144)? –84 –60 0 48
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = √(x) + 12

g(x) = 2√(x)

(f-g)(x) = √(x) + 12 - 2√(x)

(f-g)(x) = 12 - √(x)

if x = 144

(f-g)(144) = 12 - √(144) = 12 - 12 = 0

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The answer is A (i just took the test)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: The outcomes do not appear to be equally likely, so a uniform probability model is not a good model to represent probabilities in Pilar's experiment

The outcomes are: 1 2 3 4 5

The Relative Frequency: 0.05   0.35   0.26   0.13     0.21

As you can see the outcomes do not appear to be equally likely since 0.05 and 1 are not close in number range along with the other options

The time at which the mailman delivers the mail to ace bike shop follows a normal distribution with mean 2:00 pm and standard de
ivolga24 [154]

There are three questions related to this problem.


First, the probability of the mail will arrive after 2:30 PM


<span>Find the z-score of 2:30 which is 30 minutes after 2:00.</span>

<span>
z(2:30) = (2:30 – 2:00)/15 = -30/15 = -2</span>

<span>
P(x < 2:30) = P(z<-2) = 0.0228</span>

<span>
</span>

Second, the probability of the mail will arrive at 1:36 PM

<span>Find the z-score of 1:36 which is 24 minutes before 2:00.</span>

<span>
z(1:36) = (1:36 – 2:00)/15 = -24/15 = -1.6</span>

<span>
P(x < 1:36) = P(z<-1.6) = 0.0548</span>

 

Lastly, the probability of the mail will arrive between 1:48 PM and 2:09 PM


Find the z-score of 1:46 and 2:09 PM which will result to a z value of 0.034599


<span>P(1:48 < x < 2:09) = P(z<0.034599) = 0.5138</span>
