. The time taken by a randomly selected applicant for a mortgage to fill out a certain form has a normal probability distribution with average time 10 minutes and a standard deviation of 2 minutes. If five individuals fill out the form on Day 1 and six individuals fill out the form on Day 2, what is the probability that the sample average time taken is less than 11 minutes for BOTH days?

Probability that the sample average time taken is less than 11 minutes for Day 1 is 0.86864.

Probability that the sample average time taken is less than 11 minutes for Day 2 is 0.88877.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the time taken by a randomly selected applicant for a mortgage to fill out a certain form has a normal probability distribution with average time 10 minutes and a standard deviation of 2 minutes.

Also, five individuals fill out the form on Day 1 and six individuals fill out the form on Day 2.

(a) Let $\bar X$ = sample average time taken

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean time = 10 minutes

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 2 minutes

n = sample of individuals fill out form on Day 1 = 5

Now, the probability that the sample average time taken is less than 11 minutes for Day 1 is given by = P( $\bar X$ < 11 minutes)

P( $\bar X$ < 11 minutes) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{11-10}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{5} } }$ ) = P(Z < 1.12) = 0.86864

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.12 in the z table which has an area of 0.86864.

(b) Let $\bar X$ = sample average time taken

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean time = 10 minutes

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 2 minutes

n = sample of individuals fill out form on Day 2 = 6

Now, the probability that the sample average time taken is less than 11 minutes for Day 2 is given by = P( $\bar X$ < 11 minutes)

P( $\bar X$ < 11 minutes) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{11-10}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{6} } }$ ) = P(Z < 1.22) = 0.88877

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.22 in the z table which has an area of 0.88877.

He graph of f(x) = |x| is stretched by a factor of 0.3 and translated down 4 units. which statement about the domain and range of each function is correct? the range of the transformed function and the parent function are both all real numbers greater than or equal to 4. the domain of the transformed function is all real numbers and is, therefore, different from that of the parent function. the range of the transformed function is all real numbers greater than or equal to 0 and is, therefore, different from that of the parent function. the domain of the transformed function and the parent function are both all real numbers.

1. why is a frequency distribution useful? it allows researchers to see the "shape" of the data. it tells researchers how often the mean occurs in a set of data. it can visually identify the mean. it ignores outliers. 2. the is defined by its mean and standard deviation alone. normal distribution frequency distribution median distribution marginal distribution 3. approximately % of the data in a given sample falls within three standard deviations of the mean if it is normally distributed. 95 68 34 99 4. a data set is said to be if the mean of the data is greater than the median of the data. normally distributed frequency distributed right-skewed left-skewed
