The length of time needed to complete a certain test is normally distributed with mean 44 minutes and standard deviation 8 minutes. Find the probability that it will take less than 34 minutes to complete the test.

Respuesta :

The probability that it willtake less than 34 minutes to complete the test is 0.1056

Given mean of 44 minutes and standard deviation of 8 minutes.

We have to find the probability that it will take less than 34 minutes to complete the test.

The probability lies between 0 and 1. The formula to calculate probability is number of items divided by total items but it can also be found through z test calculations.

We are using z test to find the probability.

Z=X-μ/σ

Where μ is sample mean and

σ= standard deviation

Z is z value

First we will find the p value from 34 to 44.

Z=34-44/8

=-10/8

=-1.25

P value for X<34=P(Z<-1.25)

=0.5-0.3944

=0.1056.

Hence the probability that it will take less than 34 minutes is 0.1056.
