The average time a subscriber spends reading the local newspaper is 49 minutes. Assume the standard deviation is 16 minutes and that the times are normally distributed. For the 10% who spend the most time reading the paper, how much time do they spend?

They spend at least 69.48 minutes reading the paper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 49, \sigma = 16$

For the 10% who spend the most time reading the paper, how much time do they spend?

They spend at least X minutes, in which X is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.90. So it is X when Z = 1.28.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.28 = \frac{X - 49}{16}$

X - 49 = 16*1.28

X = 69.48

They spend at least 69.48 minutes reading the paper.

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

$4/2 = 2\\7/3.5=2\\8/4=2\\10/5=2$

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

$y=\frac{x}{2}$

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
