Chapter 2: Q T2.9. (page 149)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that the exhaust of each model of motor vehicle be tested for the level of several pollutants. The level of oxides of nitrogen (NOX) in the exhaust of one light truck model was found to vary among individual trucks according to an approximately Normal distribution with mean 渭=1.45 grams per mile driven and standard deviation 蟽=0.40 gram per mile. Which of the following best estimates the proportion of light trucks of this model with NOX levels greater than 2 grams per mile?

a.0.0228b.0.0846c.0.4256d.0.9154e.0.9772

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (b) 0.0846

Step by step solution

01

Given information

渭=1.45蟽=0.40x=2

02

Concept

z=x鈭�渭蟽

03

Calculation

z=x鈭�渭蟽=2鈭�1.450.40=1.375

P(x>2)=P(z>1.375)=1鈭�P(z<1.375)=1鈭�0.91545=0.08455

As a result, 0.0846 of this model's light trucks had a NOX level greater than 2 grams per mile.

Hence, the correct option is (b)

Quick, click! An Internet reaction time test asks subjects to click their mouse button as soon as a light flashes on the screen. The light is programmed to go on at a randomly selected time after the subject clicks 鈥淪tart.鈥� The density curve models the amount of time the subject has to wait for the light to flash.

a. What height must the density curve have? Justify your answer.

b. About what percent of the time will the light flash more than 3.75 seconds after the subject clicks 鈥淪tart鈥�?

c. Calculate and interpret the 38th percentile of this distribution.
