Assume that the finishing times in a New York City 10-kilometer road race are normally distributed with a mean of 55 minutes and a standard deviation of 10 minutes. Let X be a randomly selected finishing time.

a. What percent of finish times was higher than 72 minutes? (Give your answers rounded to two decimal places)

b. What percent of finish times was between 52 and 70 minutes? (Give your answers rounded to two decimal places)

c. What is the 40th percentile finish time? (Round your answer to nearest tenth)

d. What is the 95th percentile finish time? (Round your answer to nearest tenth)

Answers

Answer 1

Using the normal distribution, it is found that:

a) 4.46% of finish times was higher than 72 minutes.

b) 55.11% of finish times was between 52 and 70 minutes.

c) The 40th percentile of finish times is 52.5 minutes.

d) The 95th percentile of finish times is 71.45 minutes.

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

It 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, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

The mean is of 55 minutes, hence [tex]\mu = 55[/tex].The standard deviation is of 10 minutes, hence [tex]\sigma = 10[/tex]

Item a:

The proportion is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 72, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{72 - 55}{10}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.7[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.7[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9554

1 - 0.9554 = 0.0446

0.0446 x 100% = 4.46%

4.46% of finish times was higher than 72 minutes.

Item b:

Th proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 70 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 52, hence:

X = 70:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{70 - 55}{10}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9332.

X = 52:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{52 - 55}{10}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.3[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.3[/tex] has a p-value of 0.3821.

0.9332 - 0.3821 = 0.5511

0.5511 x 100% = 55.11%

55.11% of finish times was between 52 and 70 minutes.

Item c:

The 40th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.4, so X when Z = -0.253.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-0.253 = \frac{X - 55}{10}[/tex]

[tex]X - 55 = -0.253(10)[/tex]

[tex]X = 52.5[/tex]

The 40th percentile of finish times is 52.5 minutes.

Item d:

The 95th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.95, so X when Z = 1.645.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.645 = \frac{X - 55}{10}[/tex]

[tex]X - 55 = 1.645(10)[/tex]

[tex]X = 71.45[/tex]

The 95th percentile of finish times is 71.45 minutes.

A jet is flying in a direction N 70° E with a speed of 600 mi/h. Find the north and east components of the velocity. Round to two decimal places.

Answers

Using vector concepts, it is found that the components of the velocity are given as follows:

North: 205.21 mi/h.East: 563.82 mi/h.

How can a vector be represented in i and j notation?

Given a magnitude M and angle [tex]\theta[/tex], the a vector V can be represented as follows:

[tex]V = M\sin{\theta}i + M\cos{\theta}j[/tex]

In which:

i is the horizontal(east/west) component.j is the vertical(north/south) component.

In this problem, we have that the magnitude and the angle are given as follows:

[tex]M = 600, \theta = 70^{\circ}[/tex]

Hence the north component is:

[tex]600\cos{70^{\circ}} = 205.21[/tex]

And the east component is:

[tex]600\sin{70^{\circ}} = 563.82[/tex]
