d.
Obtain the 20th percentile of the age group of 75 years and older.
Obtain the amount of time, more than which, that eighty percent of the individuals of the age group 75 years and older spend using the computer for leisure.
Obtain the 20th percentile of the age group of 15 to 19 years.
Obtain the amount of time, more than which, that eighty percent of the individuals of the age group of 15 to 19 years spend using the computer for leisure.
d.
Answer to Problem 39E
The 20th percentile of the age group of 75 years and older is 4 minutes.
About eighty percent of the individuals of the age group 75 years and older spend more than 4 minutes using the computer for leisure.
The 20th percentile of the age group of 15 to 19 years is 13.4 minutes.
About eighty percent of the individuals of the age group of 15 to 19 years spend more than 13.4 minutes using the computer for leisure.
Explanation of Solution
Let K be the 20th percentile value of the age group of 75 years and older.
Therefore, the 20th percentile of the age group of 75 years and older is 4 minutes.
The remaining 80% of the data is above the 20th percentile value.
Therefore, eighty percent of the age group of 75 years and older spend more than 4 minutes.
Let S be the 20th percentile value of the age group of 15 to 19 years.
Therefore, the 20th percentile of the age group of 15 to 19 years is 13.4 minutes.
The remaining 80% of the data is above the 20th percentile value.
Therefore, eighty percent of the age group of 15 to 19 years spend more than 13.4 minutes.

- A well-known company predominantly makes flat pack furniture for students. Variability with the automated machinery means the wood components are cut with a standard deviation in length of 0.45 mm. After they are cut the components are measured. If their length is more than 1.2 mm from the required length, the components are rejected. a) Calculate the percentage of components that get rejected. b) In a manufacturing run of 1000 units, how many are expected to be rejected? c) The company wishes to install more accurate equipment in order to reduce the rejection rate by one-half, using the same ±1.2mm rejection criterion. Calculate the maximum acceptable standard deviation of the new process.arrow_forward5. Let X and Y be independent random variables and let the superscripts denote symmetrization (recall Sect. 3.6).
