Question

A company collects data from 10,000 websites about how long it takes to load the site. The number of seconds it takes to fully load the website is summarized in the relative frequency table. 

seconds to load relative frequency
1.4–1.6 0.0003
1.6–1.8 0.0012
1.8–2.0 0.0053
2.0–2.2 0.0181
2.2–2.4 0.0442
2.4–2.6 0.0910
2.6–2.8 0.1555
2.8–3.0 0.1861
3.0–3.2 0.1938
3.2–3.4 0.1447
3.4–3.6 0.0923
3.6–3.8 0.0447
3.8–4.0 0.0166
4.0–4.2 0.0048
4.2–4.4 0.0012
4.4–4.6 0.0002

The relative frequency histogram summarizes the same data.

The mean time to load a website is 3 seconds and the standard deviation is 0.4 seconds.

  1. Would a normal distribution be a good model for this distribution? Explain your reasoning.
  2. What proportion of websites loaded within 1 standard deviation of the mean?
  3. What proportion of websites loaded within 2 standard deviations of the mean?
  4. What proportion of websites loaded within 1 standard deviation of 2.8 seconds?
  5. Compare the proportion of websites within 1 standard deviation of the mean to the proportion of stories in the submissions that are within 1 standard deviation of the mean number of words from the previous task. Do the same for the proportion within 2 standard deviations.
