Explanation / Answer

26) The uniform and normal distribution each have two parameters

27) mean= 24.5hours and standard deviation= 5.25 hours

Probability that it lasts between 20 and 29 hours

Since =24.5 and =5.25 we have:

P ( 20<X<29 )=P ( 2024.5< X<2924.5 )=P ((2024.5)/5.25<(X)/<(2924.5)/5.25)

Since Z=(x)/ , (2024.5)/5.25=0.86 and (2924.5)/5.25=0.86 we have:

P ( 20<X<29 )=P ( 0.86<Z<0.86 )

Use the standard normal table to conclude that:

P ( 0.86<Z<0.86 )=0.6102 (option d)

28) The battery life at the 90th percentile

Z score coressponding to 90th percentile is 1.29

Z= X-mu/sigma

1.29= X-24.5/5.25

1.29*5.25= X-24.5

6.7725=X-24.5

6.7725+24.5= X

31.2725 hours =X (option d)

29) mean= 50 thousand dollars and standard deviation= 2 thousand dollars

P(X>203500)

Since =50,000 and =2000 we have:

P ( X>203500 )=P ( X>203500050000 )=P ((X)/>(20350050000)/2000)

Since Z=(x)/ and (20350050000)/2000=76.75 we have:

P ( X>2035000 )=P ( Z>76.75 )

Use the standard normal table to conclude that:

P (Z>76.75)=0.1894

30) p= 0.4 n= 200 and x= 90

probability that no more than 90

by using excel function BINOMDIST i got 0.9357 ( option b)
