For a recent 10k​ run, the finishers are normally distributed with mean 59 minutes and standard deviation 11 minutes.   The 35th percentile is 54.71 minutes. This percentile means that 35​% of the finishing times are [a] [b].

John, Clarice, Marco, Roberto, and Dominique work for a publishing company. The company wants to send two employees to a statistics conference. To be​ fair, the company decides that the two individuals who get to attend will have their names drawn from a hat. Determine the sample space of the experiment. That​ is, list all possible simple random samples of size n=2. ​(a) How many events are in the sample​ space?  [x] For parts b and c: Write your answer as a fraction in simplifed​ form. Use the “/” for your fraction bar.  For example, one-half would be written as 1/2.    ​(b) What is the probability that John and Dominique attend the​ conference?   [y] ​(c) What is the probability that John stays homestays home​? Write your answer as a fraction in simplifed​ form.  [z]

Round to two decimal places as needed.  According to a recent​ study, the carapace length for adult males of a certain species of tarantula are normally distributed with a mean of μ=17.34 mm and a standard deviation of σ=1.54 mm. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (d) below.   (a) Find the percentage of the tarantulas that have a carapace length between 15 mm and 16 mm. The percentage of the tarantulas that have a carapace length between 15 and 16 is [a]​%. (b) Find the percentage of the tarantulas that have a carapace length exceeding 18 mm. The percentage of the tarantulas that have a carapace length exceeding 18 is [b]% (c) Determine the quartiles for the carapace length of these tarantulas. The first quartile is [c]. The second quartile is [d]. The third quartile is [e]. (d) Obtain the 95th percentile for the carapace length of these tarantulas. The 95th percentile is [f].    

A survey of college students who live​ off-campus resulted in the sample data in the given table. If one of the survey respondents is randomly​selected, find the probability of choosing someone who lives in a townhome. Type of Accommodation Number House 368 Townhouse 242 Apartment 646 Other 124   P(townhouse) = [x] ​(Round to 4 decimal​ places.)  

Round answers to the nearest thousandth​ (3 decimal​ places). Given that 27​% of college students have repeated a course to improve their​ grade, in a sample of size n​ =22​, use the Binomial Probability formula to​ find: ​(a) the probability that exactly 12 students have repeated a course. The probability that exactly 12 students have repeated a course​ is: [a] ​ (b) the probability that fewer than 2 students have repeated a course. The probability that fewer than 2 students have repeated a course​ is: [b] 

Continued……. A census collected data on everyone that lived in a certain small town. The random variable X is the number of girls born to a randomly selected couple in that town who has four children. Its probability distribution is shown below.  x 0 1 2 3 4 ​P(X=​x) 0.0526 0.2824 0.3183 0.2554 0.0913 The one standard deviation is interval is [ [a], [b] ]. The two standard deviation is interval is [ [c], [d] ]. The three standard deviation is interval is [ [e], [f] ].
