The speed at which you can log into a website through a smartphone is an important quality characteristic of that website. In a recent test, the mean time to log into the JetBlue Airways website through a smartphone was 4.237 seconds. (Data extracted from N. Trejos, “Travelers Have No Patience for Slow Mobile Sites,” USA Today, April 4, 2012, p. 3B.) Suppose that the download time is normally distributed, with a standard deviation of 1.3 seconds. What is the probability that a download time is

a. less than 2 seconds?

b. between 1.5 and 2.5 seconds?

c. above 1.8 seconds?

d. Ninety-nine percent of the download times are slower (higher) than how many seconds?

e. Ninety-five percent of the download times are between what two values, symmetrically distributed around the mean?

f. Suppose that the download times are uniformly distributed between 1 and 9 seconds. What are your answers to (a) through (c)?

Log onto website where you can observe your service bill for the last 12 months (electric bill, cell phone bill, water bill, etc.). If you do NOT feel comfortable sharing this data, you can make up values. In excel, list the values of your bill for the last 12 months on one column. Find the sample mean and sample standard deviation of your data. Pick three bills from the last 12 months and change the values into z-scores. What does...

When you cough, your windpipe contracts. The speed, v(r), with which you expel air through your windpipe, depends in the radius, r, of your windpipe. If a is normal (rest) radius of your windpipe, then for 0<r<a. The speed is given by: v(r)=k(a-r)r^2 where k is a positive constant. For an individual, assume a to be constant. a. Find all critical points of v(r). b. what value of r minimizes the speed? Explain briefly using the second derivative test. c....
