Question #159025

a) More than 30 hours

[3 marks]


b) Between 18 and 34 hours

[4 marks]


c) Between 25 and 34 hours

μ=25, σ=4,\mu= 25,~\sigma=4,

Z=tμσ,Z=\frac{t-\mu}{\sigma},

1)

P(t>30)=1P(Z30254)=1P(Z1.25)=10.8944=0.1056,P(t>30)=1-P(Z\leq\frac{30-25}{4})=\\ 1-P(Z\leq1.25)=1-0.8944=0.1056,

2)

P(18<t<34)=P(Z34254)P(Z18254)=P(Z2.25)P(Z1.75)=0.98780.0401=0.9477,P(18<t<34)= P(Z≤ \frac{ 34−25}{4} ​ )−P(Z≤ \frac{ 18−25}{4} ​ )=P(Z≤ 2.25)−P(Z≤ -1.75)= 0.9878−0.0401=0.9477,

3)

P(25<t<34)=P(Z34254)P(Z25254)=P(Z2.25)P(Z0)=0.98780.5=0.4878.P(25<t<34)= P(Z≤ \frac{ 34−25}{4} ​ )−P(Z≤ \frac{ 25−25}{4} ​ )=P(Z≤ 2.25 )−P(Z≤ 0)= 0.9878−0.5=0.4878.
