Every day Cara runs for five miles. Suppose that the time it takes her to complete the run is a random variable that is normally distributed with a mean of 50 minutes and a standard deviation of 5 minutes. Today Cara ran the five miles in 46 minutes. What is the probability that she will beat her time tomorrow?

A person must score in the upper 2% of the population on an IQ test to qualify for membership in Mensa, the international high-IQ society. If IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 10, what score must a person have to qualify for Mensa? Every day Cara runs for five miles. Suppose that the time it takes her to complete the run is a random variable that is normally distributed with a...

Let x denote the time it takes to run a road race. Suppose x is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 190 minutes and a standard deviation of 21 minutes. If one runner is selected at random, what is the probability that this runner will complete this road race in less than 158 minutes? Round answer to 4 decimal places.

Let x denote the time it takes to run a road race. Suppose x is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 190 minutes and a standard deviation of 21 minutes. If one runner is selected at random, what is the probability that this runner will complete this road race in less than 162 minutes? Round your answer to four decimal places.

The average time it takes a group of young people to complete a The Children of Alcoholic Screening Test (CAST) is 48 minutes. The standard deviation is 7 minutes. Assume the variable is normally distributed. Find the probability that if 31 randomly selected youngsters complete the test, the mean time it takes the group to complete the test will be less than 28.4 minutes.

Alfreda and Buzz each complete a five mile run every day. Over the course of 7 days, Alfreda finishes her run faster than Buzz exactly four times. Let p denote the true probability that Alfreda is a faster runner than Buzz, and suppose that the number of time Alfreda finishes first is binomially distributed. Determine the likelihood function L(p) and calculate the maximum likelihood estimator p̂.

Currently the bus runs every 7 minutes during the day. Let X represent the amount of time Sofia waits for the bus, assuming she arrives at the bus stop at a random time and the bus is running on schedule. (That is, the amount of time Sofia waits is uniformly distributed.) Find the following probabilities (use 2 decimal places for all answers): (a) The probability Sofia waits at most 2 minute(s) = (b) The probability Sofia waits less than 2...

The time taken by a student to complete her statistics assignments is uniformly distributed between 30 minutes and 110 minutes. (a) Write the probability density function for the time she takes in finishing her statistics assignments. (10) (b) What is the probability that for a given statistics assignment she will take between 40 and 60 minutes to complete the assignment? (10) (c) Write the mean and standard deviation of the distribution. (2.5 + 7.5 =10)

Suppose the time between buses at a particular stop is a positively skewed random variable with an average of 59 minutes and standard deviation of 6 minutes. Suppose the time between buses at this stop is measured for a randomly selected week, resulting in a random sample of n = 38 times. The average of this sample, X , is a random variable that comes from a specific probability distribution. (a)Which of the following is true about the distribution of...
