Assume that the finishing times in a New York City 10-kilometer road race are normally distributed with a mean of 55 minutes and a standard deviation of 10 minutes. Let X be a randomly selected finishing time.

a. What percent of finish times was higher than 72 minutes? (Give your answers rounded to two decimal places)

b. What percent of finish times was between 52 and 70 minutes? (Give your answers rounded to two decimal places)

c. What is the 40th percentile finish time? (Round your answer to nearest tenth)

d. What is the 95th percentile finish time? (Round your answer to nearest tenth)

Answers

Answer 1

Using the normal distribution, it is found that:

a) 4.46% of finish times was higher than 72 minutes.

b) 55.11% of finish times was between 52 and 70 minutes.

c) The 40th percentile of finish times is 52.5 minutes.

d) The 95th percentile of finish times is 71.45 minutes.

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

It 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, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

The mean is of 55 minutes, hence [tex]\mu = 55[/tex].The standard deviation is of 10 minutes, hence [tex]\sigma = 10[/tex]

Item a:

The proportion is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 72, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{72 - 55}{10}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.7[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.7[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9554

1 - 0.9554 = 0.0446

0.0446 x 100% = 4.46%

4.46% of finish times was higher than 72 minutes.

Item b:

Th proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 70 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 52, hence:

X = 70:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{70 - 55}{10}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9332.

X = 52:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{52 - 55}{10}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.3[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.3[/tex] has a p-value of 0.3821.

0.9332 - 0.3821 = 0.5511

0.5511 x 100% = 55.11%

55.11% of finish times was between 52 and 70 minutes.

Item c:

The 40th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.4, so X when Z = -0.253.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-0.253 = \frac{X - 55}{10}[/tex]

[tex]X - 55 = -0.253(10)[/tex]

[tex]X = 52.5[/tex]

The 40th percentile of finish times is 52.5 minutes.

Item d:

The 95th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.95, so X when Z = 1.645.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.645 = \frac{X - 55}{10}[/tex]

[tex]X - 55 = 1.645(10)[/tex]

[tex]X = 71.45[/tex]

The 95th percentile of finish times is 71.45 minutes.

What is Algebraic expression ?

Algebraic expressions are the idea of expressing numbers using letters or alphabets without specifying their actual values. The basics of algebra taught us how to express an unknown value using letters such as x, y, z, etc. These letters are called here as variables. An algebraic expression can be a combination of both variables and constants. Any value that is placed before and multiplied by a variable is a coefficient.

The given equation is :

7(t + 5)

7(t+5) multiply 7 with inside the parenthesis

7(t+5) = 7t + 7x5

this result is equivalent to option D and E which will give the same result.

Therefore, Option D and E are equivalent to 7(t + 5).

Because Jacob starts and ends at his house, his total displacement is 0mi, because the distance from his house to his house is 0 mi.

Because Jacob travels 5 miles to the shops, then (N.B. I'm inferring here) in a straight line, 3 more miles to the post office, a total distance of 8 miles, then another 8 backwards, he travels a total distance of 16mi.

Answers

Answer:

Average rate of change = [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For a closed interval [tex][a,b][/tex] in a function, the average rate of change is [tex]m=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex].

Thus, given our interval of [tex][1,2][/tex] from the directions, we determine that [tex]f(b)=f(2)=-\frac{10}{(2)^2}=-\frac{10}{4}=-\frac{5}{2}[/tex] and [tex]f(a)=f(1)=-\frac{10}{(1)^2}=-\frac{10}{1}=-10[/tex].

Hence, [tex]m=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}=\frac{(-\frac{5}{2})-(-10) }{2-1}=\frac{\frac{15}{2}}{1}=\frac{15}{2}[/tex].

In conclusion, the average rate of change of the function from x=1 to x=2 is [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex].

Set Question involving real and natural numbers

Answers

Only two real numbers satisfy x² = 23, so A is the set {-√23, √23}. B is the set of all non-negative real numbers. Then you can write the intersection in various ways, like

(i) A ∩ B = {√23} = {x ∈ R | x = √23} = {x ∈ R | x² = 23 and x > 0}

√23 is positive and so is already contained in B, so the union with A adds -√23 to the set B. Then

(ii) A U B = {-√23} U B = {x ∈ R | (x² = 23 and x < 0) or x ≥ 0}

A - B is the complement of B in A; that is, all elements of A not belonging to B. This means we remove √23 from A, so that

(iii) A - B = {-√23} = {x ∈ R | x² = 23 and x < 0}

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "for µ = R" - possibly µ is used to mean "universal set"? If so, then

(iv.a) Aᶜ = {x ∈ R | x² ≠ 23} and Bᶜ = {x ∈ R | x < 0}.

N is a subset of B, so

(iv.b) N - B = N = {1, 2, 3, ...}
