The time it takes a cell to divide (called mitosis) is normally distributed with an average time of one hour and a standard deviation of 5 minutes. Required:
a. What is the probability that a cell divides in less than 45 minutes?
b. What is the probability that it takes a cell more than 65 minutes to divide?
c. By what time have approximately 99% of all cells completed mitosis?

a) P[ Z < 45 ]  = 0,14 %

b)  P[ Z > 65  ]  = 16%

c) z = 71,65 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Distribution

Mean (μ₀)    1 hour    or  60 minutes

Standard Deviation     σ  =  5  (minutes)

a) The probability that a cell divides in less than 45 minutes is:

Let´s call Z standard normal random with distribution function Φ then:

P[ Z < 45 ]  =  ( Z - μ₀ ) / σ

P[ Z < 45 ]  = ( 45 - 60 ) / 5

P[ Z < 45 ]  = - 3

With this value we look in Z table and find the value 0,00135

P[ Z < 45 ]  = 0,00135  or

P[ Z < 45 ]  = 0,14 %

b)The probability of Z > 65 minutes is:

P[ Z > 65  ]  = 1 - P[ Z ≤ 65  ]

P[ Z ≤ 65  ]  = ( Z - μ₀ )/ σ

P[ Z ≤ 65  ]  = ( 65 - 60 ) / 5

P[ Z ≤ 65  ]  = 1

From Z table we find the reciprocate value of  0,84134 then

P[ Z ≤ 65  ] = 0,84134  and

P[ Z > 65  ]  = 1 - 0,84134

P[ Z > 65  ]  = 0,15866

P[ Z > 65  ]  = 0,16      or    P[ Z > 65  ]  = 16%

c) The time to get  99% of all cell completed the process is:

P [ Z ≤ z ] = ( z - 60 ) / σ

In Z table the value of  0,99010 which is a good aproximation of 0,99 (or 99%) reciprocate with the value 2,33 then

P [ Z ≤ z ] =  2,33 =  ( z - 60 ) / σ

2,33 * 5 = z - 60

11,65 + 60 = z

z = 71,65 minutes

As a matter of fact checking this value, we can see according to the empirical rule that 99,7 % of all values will occur

mean + 3σ     or   60 + 15  = 75

it can be to see completed examples before writing, in order to examine what makes for an effective piece. see how these intros give some context before posing the topic and lead naturally into the body paragraphs, where the evidence will be listed. you can imagine how the author has organized the rest of the piece.

"we buried my cousin last summer. he was 32 when he hanged himself from a closet coat rack in the throes of alcoholism, the fourth of my blood relatives to die prematurely from this deadly disease. if america issued drinking licenses, those four men—including my father, who died at 54 of liver failure—might be alive today. that is a good example piece   some steps that are .

. writing something that happened to you

.read a book you like to get ideas from there

. lastly you can make a venn diagram

hope this plz make brainliest
