Television viewing reached a new high when the global information and measurement company reported a mean daily viewing time of hours per household. Use a normal probability distribution with a standard deviation of hours to answer the following questions about daily television viewing per household. a. What is the probability that a household views television between 3 and 9 hours a day (to 4 decimals)? b. How many hours of television viewing must a household have in order to be in the 2%top of all television viewing households (to 2 decimals)? hours c. What is the probability that a household views television more than hours a day (to 4 decimals)?

(a) The probability that a household views television between 3 and 9 hours a day is 0.5864.

(b) The viewing hours in the top 2% is 13.49 hours.

(c) The probability that a household views television more than 5 hours a day is 0.9099.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = daily viewing time of of television hours per household.

The mean daily viewing time is, μ = 8.35 hours.

The standard deviation of daily viewing time is, σ = 2.5 hours.

The random variable X is Normally distributed.

To compute the probability of a Normal random variable, first we need to compute the raw scores (X) to z-scores (Z).

(a)

Compute the probability that a household views television between 3 and 9 hours a day as follows:

Thus, the probability that a household views television between 3 and 9 hours a day is 0.5864.

(b)

Let the viewing hours in the top 2% be denoted by x.

Then,

P (X > x) = 0.02

⇒ P (X < x) = 1 - 0.02

    P (X < x) = 0.98

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.98

The value of z for the above probability is:

z = 2.054

*Use a z-table for the value.

Compute the value of x as follows:

Thus, the viewing hours in the top 2% is 13.49 hours.

(c)

Compute the probability that a household views television more than 5 hours a day as follows:

Thus, the probability that a household views television more than 5 hours a day is 0.9099.

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
