Swim team Hanover High School has the best women's swimming team in the region. The 400meter freestyle relay team is undefeated this year. In the 400-meter freestyle relay, each swimmer swims 100meters. The times, in seconds, for the four swimmers this season are approximately Normally distributed with means and standard deviations as shown. Assuming that the swimmer's individual times are independent, find the probability that the total team time in the 400meter freestyle relay is less than 220seconds.follow the four step process.

The probability that the total team time is less than220is22%.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given in the question that the details of the swimming team members from Hanover High School.

02

Calculate the mean and standard deviation 

Let Xi,i=1,2,3,4be the random variables showing the times in seconds for the four swimmers this season.

Given the mean and standard deviation of Xiare

X1=55.2,X1=2.8X2=58.0,XX=3.0X3=56.3,X3=2.6X4=54.7,X4=2.7

The probability that the total team time in the 400-meter freestyle relay is less than 220seconds must be determined.

Consider the variable T=X1+X2+X3+X4

It showing the total times for the four swimmers in the season.

Let's findP(T220)

Given that the swimmer's individual times are independent.

Mean of T

T=X1+XX2+X3+X4=55.2+58.0+56.3+54.7=224.2

Standard deviation of T

T=X12+X22+X32+X42=2.82+3.02+2.62+2.72=5.56

03

Calculate the probability

The probability that the total team time in the 400-meter freestyle relay is less than 220seconds must be determined.

Let's standardize T=220

z=xTT=220224.25.56=0.76

Using a table of typical normal probabilities as a guide,

P(T220)=P(z0.76)=P(z0.76)=1P(z0.76)=10.7764=0.2236
