The time for a professor to grade a student’s homework in statistics is normally distributed with a mean of 13.3 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.0 minutes. What is the probability that randomly selected homework will require less than 17 minutes to grade?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.96784

Step-by-step explanation:

17-13.3/2

=1.85

p(x<1.85)

=0.96784

The probability that randomly selected homework will require less than 17 minutes to grade is 0.9678.

Mean [tex]\mu[/tex]=13.3 minutes

Standard deviation[tex]\sigma[/tex]=2 minutes

What is a z-score?

The value of the z-score tells you how many standard deviations you are away from the mean.

So, the z-score of the above data

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{17-13.3}{2}[/tex]

[tex]z=1.85[/tex]

From the standard normal table, the p-value corresponding to z=1.85

Or, p(x<1.85)=0.9678 or 96.78%

Hence, the probability that randomly selected homework will require less than 17 minutes to grade is 0.9678.
