Powered by AICalculate the probability of a player's weight being less than 68 kg, given the mean is 76.6 kg and the cumulative probability is 0.05. Convert 68 kg to a z-score: z = (68 - 76.6) / σ. The z-score corresponding to cumulative probability 0.05 is approximately -1.645. Solving for σ gives σ ≈ (76.6 - 68) / 1.645 = 5.231 kg .
Given biscuits with mean 7g and 0.5g deviation, and a second group with P(X < 5) = 0.2, use z-score from standard distribution table for P = 0.2 (z ≈ -0.8416). Translate: 5 = µ + zσ for 0.5; solve for µ = 5 + 0.8416*0.5 ≈ 5.4208 g .
To find the standard deviation of a variable with a mean of 25, where 30% of the distribution is between 25 and 27, first convert the boundary values to z-scores using the known mean. Use z-tables to find z corresponding to cumulative probabilities 0.15 (25 to the left of mean) and 0.45 (27 to the mean), giving z-scores. Using z = (X - μ)/σ, calculate σ by rearranging it as σ = (X - μ)/z and using boundary values .
Given a mean weight of 76.6 kg and standard deviation of 5.231 kg, players must be within 1.5 standard deviations of the mean. Calculate the range as: lower bound = 76.6 - 1.5 * 5.231, upper bound = 76.6 + 1.5 * 5.231. This means weights should be approximately between 68.952 kg and 84.248 kg .
Given 25% of players are women and 70% of women participate in the tournament, final probability depends on Bayes' theorem. Calculate overall tournament participation probability and use conditional probability equation P(Woman | Tournament) = (P(Tournament | Woman) * P(Woman)) / P(Tournament) to solve. Calculations give approximately 0.368 probability .
To calculate P(X ≤ 24.5) for a normally distributed random variable X with mean 20 and variance 9, convert 24.5 to a z-score using the formula z = (X - μ) / σ, where μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation (σ = √variance = 3). Thus, z = (24.5 - 20) / 3 = 1.5. You then use the standard normal distribution table to find P(Z ≤ 1.5), which gives the probability of X being less than or equal to 24.5 .
First, convert the cumulative probability 0.85 into a z-score using the standard normal distribution table. Then, use the formula X = μ + zσ, where μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation, to calculate k. For example, with a mean of 20 and standard deviation 3, identify z for P(Z ≤ z) = 0.85 from the z-table (approximately 1.036) and solve k = 20 + 1.036 * 3 .
Given a mean height of 6.84 cm and σ of 0.25 cm, calculate r and t for categories A (12.92% below) and C (10.38% above). Convert percentile to z-scores: zA ≈ -1.166 (12.92th), zC ≈ 1.285 (89.62th), compute r = 6.84 + zA*0.25, t = 6.84 + zC*0.25, giving r ≈ 6.54 cm, t ≈ 7.16 cm .
For Route B with known standard deviation 12 and P(X < 60) = 0.85, find mean µ using inverse normal distribution with z corresponding to 0.85 (z ≈ 1.036). Using X = µ + zσ, solve for µ: 60 = µ + 1.036*12, µ ≈ 47.568 .
Calculate using probability of success over independent trials, e.g., the van’s punctual arrival using Route B. Probability Route B ≤ 60 min is known, use binomial formula P(X = k) = C(n,k)(p)^k(1-p)^(n-k). For probability of five successes on five days: P(X=5)= (0.85)^5; for at least three: sum probabilities of 3, 4, 5: P(X ≥ 3) = P(X=3) + P(X=4) + P(X=5).
