mean 75 standard deviation 9. Using the information from the previous question and the Using the 50% - 34 % - 14% pictures, what is the longest time a person can have to solve the word search and still be in the bottom
previous question:
The length of time it takes to complete a word search puzzle is and average of 75 seconds with a standard deviation of 9 seconds. Using the 50% - 34 % - 14% pictures, approximately what percentage of scores will be (scores here is time needed to complete)
a)
µ= 75
σ = 9
P(X≤x) = 0.02
z value at 0.02= -2.0537 (excel formula
=NORMSINV(0.02))
z=(x-µ)/σ
so, X=zσ+µ= -2.054 *9+75
X = 56.516 (answer)
b)
µ= 75
σ = 9
P(X≤x) = 0.16
z value at 0.16= -0.9945 (excel formula
=NORMSINV(0.16))
z=(x-µ)/σ
so, X=zσ+µ= -0.994 *9+75
X = 66.050 (answer)
c)
µ= 75
σ = 9
P(X≤x) = 0.55
z value at 0.55= 0.1257 (excel formula
=NORMSINV(0.55))
z=(x-µ)/σ
so, X=zσ+µ= 0.126 *9+75
X = 76.131 (answer)
d)
µ= 75
σ = 9
P(X≤x) = 0.8
z value at 0.8= 0.8416 (excel formula
=NORMSINV(0.8))
z=(x-µ)/σ
so, X=zσ+µ= 0.842 *9+75
X = 82.575 (answer)
e)
µ= 75
σ = 9
P(X≤x) = 0.95
z value at 0.95= 1.6449 (excel formula
=NORMSINV(0.95))
z=(x-µ)/σ
so, X=zσ+µ= 1.645 *9+75
X = 89.804 (answer)
----------------------------------------------
a)
µ = 75
σ = 9
P ( X ≥ 85 ) = P( (X-µ)/σ ≥ (85-75) /
9)
= P(Z ≥ 1.11 ) = P( Z <
-1.111 ) = 0.1333
(answer)
b)
µ = 75
σ = 9
P( X ≤ 85 ) = P( (X-µ)/σ ≤ (85-75)
/9)
=P(Z ≤ 1.11 ) = 0.8667
c)
µ = 75
σ = 9
P ( X ≥ 80 ) = P( (X-µ)/σ ≥ (80-75) /
9)
= P(Z ≥ 0.56 ) = P( Z <
-0.556 ) = 0.2893
(answer)
d)
µ = 75
σ = 9
P( X ≤ 80 ) = P( (X-µ)/σ ≤ (80-75)
/9)
=P(Z ≤ 0.56 ) = 0.7107
e)
µ = 75
σ = 9
P ( X ≥ 75 ) = P( (X-µ)/σ ≥ (75-75) /
9)
= P(Z ≥ 0.00 ) = P( Z <
0.000 ) = 0.5000
(answer)
f)
µ = 75
σ = 9
P( X ≤ 75 ) = P( (X-µ)/σ ≤ (75-75)
/9)
=P(Z ≤ 0.00 ) =
0.50000
g)
µ = 75
σ = 9
P ( X ≥ 70 ) = P( (X-µ)/σ ≥ (70-75) /
9)
= P(Z ≥ -0.56 ) = P( Z <
0.556 ) = 0.7107
h)
µ = 75
σ = 9
P( X ≤ 70 ) = P( (X-µ)/σ ≤ (70-75)
/9)
=P(Z ≤ -0.56 ) = 0.2893
i)
µ = 75
σ = 9
P ( X ≥ 65 ) = P( (X-µ)/σ ≥ (65-75) /
9)
= P(Z ≥ -1.11 ) = P( Z <
1.111 ) = 0.8667
(answer)
j)
µ = 75
σ = 9
P( X ≤ 65 ) = P( (X-µ)/σ ≤ (65-75)
/9)
=P(Z ≤ -1.11 ) = 0.1333
