(a) The random variable X is normally distributed with mean μ and standard deviation σ. It is given that 3μ = 7σ2 and that P(X > 2μ) = 0.1016. Find μ and σ.
(b) It is given that Y ~ N(33, 21). Find the value of a given that P(33 − a < Y < 33 + a) = 0.5.
The times spent by people visiting a certain dentist are independent and normally distributed with a mean of 8.2 minutes. 79% of people who visit this dentist have visits lasting less than 10 minutes.
The distance the Zotoc car can travel on 20 litres of fuel is normally distributed with mean 320 km and standard deviation 21.6 km. The distance the Ganmor car can travel on 20 litres of fuel is normally distributed with mean 350 km and standard deviation 7.5 km. Both cars are filled with 20 litres of fuel and are driven towards a place 367 km away.
(i) For each car, find the probability that it runs out of fuel before it has travelled 367 km.
(ii) The probability that a Zotoc car can travel at least \(320 + d\) km on 20 litres of fuel is 0.409. Find the value of \(d\).
The heights that children of a particular age can jump have a normal distribution. On average, 8 children out of 10 can jump a height of more than 127 cm, and 1 child out of 3 can jump a height of more than 135 cm.
The random variable X is normally distributed with mean μ and standard deviation σ.
