A physician sees many different kinds of patients, and thus the time spent with each patient varies. Let X be the time spent with a patient in minutes. From historical data, X is known to be uniformly distributed between 15 and 40 minutes. a) What is the standard deviation of the time spent with a patient? b) What is the likelihood that the physician will spend less than 35 minutes with a patient? c) A patient has an appointment to see the physician at 8AM on a particular day. When should the second patient be scheduled so that there is only a 15% chance s/he will have to wait before before being seen by the physician? [e.g. if the appointment for the second patient is 8:15AM, there is a 100% chance the second patient will have to wait]

Assume that females have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of u = 76.0 beats per minute a. If 1 adult female is randomly selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is between 69 beats per min The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. If 25 adult females are randomly selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean bet The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30? O A. Since the distribution is of sample means, not individuals, the distribution is a normal distribution fo OB. Since the distribution is of individuals, not sample means, the distribution is a normal distribution fo OC. Since the mean pulse rate exceeds 30, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution fo O D. Since the original population has a normal distribution, the distribution of sample means is a norma
