Question

Can you help me with part c, d and e please in part b is the data that is necessary. It is with the use of Minitab.

Can you also explain to me how to get to proportion of survival times

(b) Take 10 test "flights" at http://members.inet.net.au/-pontipak/redsquare.html and record your survival times below. Circle your longest survival time.

Explanation / Answer

Data given:

Mean, m = 15

Standard Deviation, S = 3.75

(c)

Best survival time, X = 12.025

Calculating z-score:

z = (X-m)/S = (12.025-15)/3.75 = -0.793

The corresponding right tailed p-value for this z-score is:

p = 0.7861

So, proportion of survival times longer than the best survival time = 0.7861

(d)

Proportion of survival times shorter than the best survival time = 1-0.7861 = 0.2139

(e)

For top 1%, the right left p-value is 0.99

The corresponding z-score for this p-value is:

z = 2.326

So,

(X-m)/S = 2.326

Putting values:

X = S*2.326 + m = 3.75*2.326 + 15 = 23.7225

So, minimum survival time necessary for consideration = 23.7225

Hope this helps !
