According to a government study, among adults in the 25- to 34-year age group, the mean amount spent per year on reading and entertainment is $2,060. Assume that the distribution of the amounts spent follows the normal distribution with a standard deviation of $495. Use Appendix B.3. (Round your z-score computation to 2 decimal places and final answers to 2 decimal places.) What percent of the adults spend more than $2,575 per year on reading and entertainment

Answer:

The answer is [tex]15.00[/tex] %

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start defining the random variable. We have the following variable :

[tex]X:[/tex] '' The amount spent per year on reading and entertainment among adults in the 25- to 34- year age group ''

We assume that [tex]X[/tex] follows the normal distribution. We can write :

[tex]X[/tex] ~ N ( μ , σ )

Where μ is the mean of the distribution and σ is the standard deviation (both are parameters from the normal distribution). Using the data from the question :

[tex]X[/tex] ~ [tex]N(2060;495)[/tex]

In order to answer the question, we first must calculate the probability :

[tex]P(X>2575)[/tex] (I)

We are going to calculate this probability by making a substitution. If we substract the mean to the variable [tex]X[/tex] and then divide by the standard deviation, we obtain a new variable [tex]Z[/tex] which can be modeled as a [tex]N(0;1)[/tex]. This is convenient because the cumulative distribution from [tex]Z[/tex] is tabulated and can be found on any book or either in Internet.This process is called standardizing the variable :

[ ([tex]X[/tex]-μ) / σ ] = [tex]Z[/tex] ~ [tex]N(0;1)[/tex] ⇒ If we apply this to the equation (I) ⇒

[tex]P(X>2575)=P(Z>\frac{2575-2060}{495})=P(Z>1.04)[/tex]

Then,

[tex]P(Z>1.04)=1-P(Z\leq 1.04)[/tex] (II)

Looking in any cumulative distribution table of [tex]Z[/tex] ⇒ [tex]P(Z\leq 1.04)=0.85[/tex]

If we replace this value in (II) ⇒

[tex]P(Z>1.04)=1-P(Z\leq 1.04)=1-0.85=0.15[/tex]

Using percent we obtain [tex]15.00[/tex] %

The Sine Function

The tide is the regular rising or falling of the ocean's surface. This is due in large part to the gravitational forces of the moon. The following table represents water level of the tide off the coast of Kings Point, N.Y. for a 24 hour period.
February 9th through February 10th of 2009.

Use your graphing calculator to produce a sine regression model for the data in the table. Round a, b, c, and d to the nearest 0.0001. Then use your model to predict the height of the tide 30 hours after the original observation.

a. The height of the tide 30 hours after the original observation is -3.27 feet.
b. The height of the tide 30 hours after the original observation is 16 feet.
c. The height of the tide 30 hours after the original observation is 8 feet.
d. The height of the tide 30 hours after the original observation is -0.63 feet.
