IV. Continuous Distribution: Normal
Normal
1. The average time to complete a final exam in a given course is
normally distributed. With average of 80 min, and standard
deviation of 8 minutes. For a certain student taken at
random:
to. What is the probability of finishing the exam in an hour or
less?
b. What is the probability of finishing the exam between 60 min and
70 min?
Exponential
2. The time to fail in hours of a laser beam in a cytometric
machina can be modeled by an exponential distribution with λ =
.00004
* What is the probability that a laser fails more than15000
hours?
* What is the probability that a laser fails less than 25000
hours?

The time until failure for an electronic switch has an exponential distribution with an average time to failure of 4 years, so that λ = 1/4 = 0.25. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a)What is the probability that this type of switch fails before year 3? (b)What is the probability that this type of switch will fail after 5 years? (c) If two such switches are used in an appliance, what is the probability that neither switch fails...

1. The time needed to complete a final examination in a particular college course is normally distributed with a mean of 83 minutes and a standard deviation of 13 minutes. Answer the following questions. a. What is the probability of completing the exam in one hour or less (to 4 decimals)? b. What is the probability that a student will complete the exam in more than 60 minutes but less than 75 minutes (to 4 decimals)? 2. According to the...
Suppose that the time (in hours) that Adam spends on an untimed final exam follows an exponential distribution with mean 1.75 hours, and the time that Ben spends on the same exam follows an exponential distribution with mean 2.25 hours. Assume that their times are independent of each other. Using appropriate notation for random variables and events: a) Determine the probability that Ben finishes in less than 2 hours. (Show your work; you may use either the pdf or cdf.)...
The life of automobile voltage regulators follows an exponential distribution with an average of 6 years. You buy a car with 6 years of use, with a voltage regulator that is functional, and plan to stay with the vehicle for an additional 6 years. a) What is the probability that the voltage regulator will fail during the time that you kept the car? b) If the regulator fails 3 years after you bought the vehicle and it is replaced, what...
The professor of a
introductory calculus class has stated that, historically, the
distribution of final exam grades in the course resemble a Normal
distribution with a mean final exam mark of μ=63μ=63% and a
standard deviation of σ=9σ=9%.
If using/finding zz-values, use three decimals.
(a) What is the probability that a random chosen
final exam mark in this course will be at least 73%? Answer to four
decimals.
(b) In order to pass this course, a student must
have a...
Example 3 The scores on a midterm exam follow a normal distribution with an average of 80.4% and a standard deviation of 10.9%. Let X represent the score of a given student on this midterm exam. 1. What is the probability that a randomly selected student scores above a 90%? 2. What is the probability that a randomly selected student scores between 80% and 90%? 3. What is the 60th percentile score for this midterm exam?
