6.31 Waiting for the Train. A commuter train arrives punctually at a station every half hour. Each morning, a commuter named John leaves his house and casually strolls to the train station. The time, in minutes, that John waits for the train is a variable with density curve for , and otherwise.
a. Graph the density curve of this variable.
b. Show that the area under this density curve to the left of any number between 0 and 30 equals .
What percentage of the time does John wait for the train
c. less than 5 minutes?
d. between 10 and 15 minutes?
e. at least 20 minutes?
A variable is normally distributed with mean and standard deviation .
Part (a): Determine and interpret the quartiles of the variable.
Part (b): Obtain and interpret the seventh percentile.
Part (c): Find the value that of all possible values of the variable exceed.
Part (d): Find the two values that divide the area under the corresponding normal curve into a middle area of and two outside areas of . Interpret your answer.
Briefly, for a normally distributed variable, how do you obtain the percentage of all possible observations that lie within a specified range?
