Question

A study was done to compare the amount of time per day students at public and private universities spend on Facebook. The study was composed of 200 students from a private university and 300 students from a public university. The time that students at a private university spent on Facebook had a normal distribution with of mean of 220 minutes and a standard deviation of 36 minutes.The time that students at a public university spent on Facebook had a normal distribution with a mean of 200 minutes and a standard deviation of 49 minutes. What is the probability that students at a private university spend more time on Facebook than students at a public university?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
