Los Angeles workers have an average commute of 26 minutes. Suppose the LA commute time is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 13 minutes. Let X represent the commute time for a randomly selected LA worker. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.

a. What is the distribution of X? X ~ N(

26

Correct,

13

Correct)

b. Find the probability that a randomly selected LA worker has a commute that is longer than 34 minutes.

c. Find the 70th percentile for the commute time of LA workers.

(a) .

(b) The probability that a randomly selected LA worker has a commute that is longer than 34 minutes is 0.2676.

(c) The 70th percentile for the commute time of LA workers is 33 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the commute time for LA workers.

The mean commute time is, μ = 26 minutes and the standard deviation of the commute times is, σ = 13 minutes.

(a)

It is provided that the LA commute time fr workers is normally distributed.

Then the distribution of the random variable X can be defined as follows:

.

(b)

Compute the value of P (X > 34) as follows:

*Use a z-table.

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected LA worker has a commute that is longer than 34 minutes is 0.2676.

(c)

The pth percentile is a data value such that at least p% of the data set is less than or equal to this data value and at least (100 - p)% of the data set are more than or equal to this data value.

The 70th percentile for the commute time of LA workers can be written as follows:

P (X < x) = 0.70

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.70

The value of z for this probability is:

z = 0.53

*Use a z-table.

Compute the value of x as follows:

Thus, the 70th percentile for the commute time of LA workers is 33 minutes.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

x=17

answer:

x=17
