The amount of time that people spend at Grover Hot Springs Spa is normally distributed with a mean of 63 minutes and a standard deviation of 18 minutes. Answer the following, rounding probabilities to 4 decimal places. Let X= the amount of time that a person spends at Grover Hot Springs Spa a. The distribution is X ~ ( , ) b. What's the probability that a randomly chosen person spends more than 90 minutes at the Spa ?c. What's the probability that a randomly person spends less than 45 minutes at the Spa?d. What's the probability that a randomly person spends between 60 and 90 minutes at the Spa?e. Find the IQR. minutes Round answers to 2 decimals.

a)  

Where and

b)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table or excel:

c)

d)

e)  IQR = 75.13-50.87=24.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the amount of time that people spend at Grover Hot Springs of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

Where and

Part b

We are interested on this probability

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table or excel:

Part c

We are interested on this probability

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel:

Part d

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

And we can find this probability with this difference:

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

Part e

Q1

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

  (a)

  (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.25 of the area on the left and 0.75 of the area on the right it's z=-0.674. On this case P(Z<-0.674)=0.25 and P(z>-0.674)=0.75

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

And if we solve for a we got

So the value of height that separates the bottom 25% of data from the top 75% is 50.87.  

Q3

Since the distribution is symmetrical we repaeat the procedure for Q1 but now with z= 0.674

And if we solve for a we got

And then the IQR = 75.13-50.87=24.26

c

step-by-step explanation:

it would be see because your formula is f(x)=6x, so 6 times 1 is 6 and you go on and the best answer is c.
