Sudoku Mrs. Starnes enjoys doing Sudoku puzzles. The time she takes to complete an easy puzzle can be modeled by a Normal distribution with a mean of 5.3 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.9 minutes.

a. What proportion of the time does Mrs. Starnes finish an easy Sudoku puzzle in less than 3 minutes?

b. How often does it take Mrs. Starnes more than 6 minutes to complete an easy puzzle?

c. What percent of easy Sudoku puzzles take Mrs. Starnes between 6 and 8 minutes to complete?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) Mrs. Starnes completes an easy Sudoku puzzle in less than 3minutes around 0.0052of the time.

Part (b) Mrs. Starnes spends more than 6minutes on an easy task around 21.77percent of the time.

Part (c) Mrs. Starnes solves a simple Sudoku puzzle in under 3 minutes, or 0.0052 of the time.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

Time value,x=3minutes

Mean,=5.3minutes

Standard deviation,=0.9minute

02

Part (a) Step 2: Concept

The formula used:z=x

03

Part (a) Step 3: Calculation

Calculate the zscore,

z=x=35.30.92.56

Use the normal probability table in the appendix to get the corresponding probability.

In the usual normal probability table for P(z<2.56)look at the row that starts with -2.5and the column that starts with.06

P(x<3)=P(z<2.56)=0.0052

Therefore,

Mrs. Starnes solves a simple Sudoku puzzle in under 3 minutes, or 0.0052 of the time.

04

Part (b) Step 1: Calculation

Calculate the zscore,

z=x=65.30.90.78

To find the equivalent probability, use the normal probability table in the appendix.

The typical normal probability table for P(z<0.78)has a row that starts with 0.7and a column that starts with.08

P(x>6)=P(z>0.78)=1P(z<0.78)=10.7823=0.2177=21.77%

Therefore,

Mrs. Starnes spends more than 6 minutes on an easy task around 21.77 percent of the time.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Calculation 

Calculate the zscore,

z=x=65.30.90.78

Or

z=x=85.30.9=3.00

To find the equivalent probability, use the normal probability table in the appendix.

The usual normal probability table for P(z<0.78)has a row that starts with 0.7and a column that starts with.08

Or

In the standard normal probability table for P(z<3.00)look for the row that starts with 3.0and the column that starts with.00

P(6<x<8)=P(0.78<z<3.00)=P(z<3.00)P(z<0.78)=0.99870.7823=0.2164=21.64%

Therefore,

Mrs. Starnes takes between 6 and 8 minutes to finish 21.64 percent of the easy Sudoku puzzles.

Still, waiting for the server? How does your web browser get a file from the Internet? Your computer sends a request for the file to a web server, and the webserver sends back

a response. For one particular web server, the time (in seconds) after the start of an hour at which a request is received can be modeled by a uniform distribution on the interval from 0 to 3600 seconds.

a. Draw a density curve to model the amount of time after an hour at which a request is received by the webserver. Be sure to include scales on both axes.

b. About what proportion of requests are received within the first 5 minutes (300 seconds) after the hour?

c. Find the interquartile range of this distribution.

Taxi! In 2016, taxicabs in Los Angeles charged an initial fee of \(2.85 plus \)2.70 per mile. In equation form, Fare=2.85+2.7(miles). At the end of a
