According to a study done by De Anza students, the height for Asian adult males is normally distributed with an average of 6666 inches and a standard deviation of 2.52.5 inches. Suppose one Asian adult male is randomly chosen. Let X=X= height of the individual. (a) State the distribution of XX. X∼NX∼N (( , )) (b) Find the probability that the person is between 6464 and 6969 inches.Select the correct graph for the situation with shading for the region corresponding to the probability. Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.The probability that the person is between ‌6464 and ‌6969 inches is . (c) Would you expect to meet many Asian adult males over 7474 inches? Explain why or why not, and justify your answer numerically. Yes, the probability that an Asian male is over 7474 inches tall is 0.00070.0007. Yes, the probability that an Asian male is over 7474 inches tall is 0.99930.9993.…
Let's assume data collected at the Diamond Head State Monument sug- gests that an exponential distribution with mean value 2 hours is a good model for rainfall duration. What is the probability that the duration of a particular rainfall event at this location is at least 2 hours? At most 3 hours? Between 2 and 3 hours?
Today, the waves are crashing onto the beach every 4.9 seconds. The times from when a person arrives at the shoreline until a crashing wave is observed follows a Uniform distribution from 0 to 4.9 seconds. Round to 4 decimal places where possible. The mean of this distribution is The standard deviation is The probability that wave will crash onto the beach exactly 0.6 seconds after the person arrives is P(x = 0.6) =
The number of substances produced by a radioactive breakdown shows a Poisson distribution with a mean of 25. Use the Poisson distribution to find the probability that the number of substances occurring in 1 second is between 23 and 27.
Today, the waves are crashing onto the beach every 5 seconds. The times from when a person arrives at the shoreline until a crashing wave is observed follows a Uniform distribution from 0 to 5 seconds. Round to 4 decimal places where possible. The mean of this distribution is The standard deviation is The probability that wave will crash onto the beach exactly 2 seconds after the person arrives is P(x = 2) = The probability that the wave will crash onto the beach between 0.4 and 2.9 seconds after the person arrives is P(0.4 < x < 2.9) = The probability that it will take longer than 1.5 seconds for the wave to crash onto the beach after the person arrives is P(x &gt 1.5) = Suppose that the person has already been standing at the shoreline for 1.3 seconds without a wave crashing in. Find the probability that it will take between 2.7 and 4.8 seconds for the wave to crash onto the shoreline. 27% of the time a person will wait at least how long before the wave crashes in?…
Today, the waves are crashing onto the beach every 6 seconds. The times from when a person arrives at the shoreline until a crashing wave is observed follows a Uniform distribution from 0 to 6 seconds. Round to 4 decimal places where possible. The mean of this distribution is The standard deviation is The probability that wave will crash onto the beach exactly 3.9 seconds after the person arrives is P(x = 3.9) =
Today, the waves are crashing onto the beach every 5.1 seconds. The times from when a person arrives at the shoreline until a crashing wave is observed follows a Uniform distribution from 0 to 5.1 seconds. Round to 4 decimal places where possible. The mean of this distribution is The standard deviation is The probability that wave will crash onto the beach exactly 1.4 seconds after the person arrives is P(x = 1.4) = The probability that the wave will crash onto the beach between 1.3 and 4.7 seconds after the person arrives is P(1.3 < x < 4.7) = The probability that it will take longer than 3.92 seconds for the wave to crash onto the beach after the person arrives is P(x > 3.92) = Suppose that the person has already been standing at the shoreline for 1.1 seconds without a wave crashing in. Find the probability that it will take between 2.4 and 3.8 seconds for the wave to crash onto the shoreline. 84% of the time a person will wait at least how long before the wave crashes in?…
