Yuki and Zana are on a swimming team. They often compete against each other in the 100 meter freestyle
race. Yuki's times in this race are normally distributed with a mean of 80 seconds and a standard deviation
of 4.2 seconds. Zana's times are also normally distributed with a mean of 85 seconds and a standard
deviation of 5.6 seconds. We can assume that their times are independent.
Suppose we choose a random 100 meter freestyle race and calculate the difference between their times.
Find the probability that Yuki's time is faster than Zana's.
You may round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer from: LadyHolmes67

In this exercise we have to use knowledge about probability to calculate the probability of faster time, so we have to:

probability that Yuki's time is faster than Zana's.

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula. In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Find the probability that Yuki's time is faster than Zana's. That is, the subtraction of Yuki's time by Zana's time has to be higher than 0. When we subtract normal distributions, the mean is the subtraction of the means. So:

$\mu= 80-85=-5$

The standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances. So:

$\sigma= \sqrt{(4.2)^2+(5.6)^2} = 7$

We have to find 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0. So:

$Z= \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\Z= \frac{0-(-5)}{7}\\Z= 0.71$

Has a p-value of 0.7611:

1 - 0.7611 = 0.2389

Answer from: brobertson72

0.2389 = 23.89% probability that Yuki's time is faster than Zana's.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

Find the probability that Yuki's time is faster than Zana's.

That is, the subtraction of Yuki's time by Zana's time has to be higher than 0.

When we subtract normal distributions, the mean is the subtraction of the means. So

$\mu = 80 - 85 = -5$

The standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances. So

$\sigma = \sqrt{4.2^2+5.6^2} = 7$

We have to find 1 subtracted by the pvlaue of Z when X = 0. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{0 - (-5)}{7}$

Z = 0.71

Z = 0.71 has a pvalue of 0.7611

1 - 0.7611 = 0.2389

0.2389 = 23.89% probability that Yuki's time is faster than Zana's.

Answer from: Quest

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^

(c) compare the results of parts (a) and (b). in general, how do you think the mode, median, and mean are affected when each data value in a set is multiplied by the same constant? multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the mode, median, and mean increasing by a factor of c. multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the mode, median, and mean remaining the same. multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the mode, median, and mean decreasing by a factor of c. there is no distinct pattern when each data value is multiplied by the same constant. (d) suppose you have information about average heights of a random sample of airline passengers. the mode is 65 inches, the median is 72 inches, and the mean is 65 inches. to convert the data into centimeters, multiply each data value by 2.54. what are the values of the mode, median, and mean in centimeters?
