How do you do part d?
On the planet of Mercury, 4-year-olds average 2.9 hours a day unsupervised. Most of the
unsupervised children live in rural areas, considered safe. Suppose that the standard deviation is 1.3
hours and the amount of time spent alone is normally distributed. We randomly survey one
Mercurian 4-year-old living in a rural area. We are interested in the amount of time X the child
spends alone per day. (Source: San Jose Mercury News) Round all answers to 4 decimal places
where possible.
a. What is the distribution of X? X - N( 2.9
1.3
b. Find the probability that the child spends less than 2.8 hours per day unsupervised. 0.4693
c. What percent of the children spend over 3.6 hours per day unsupervised. 29.51
% (Round to
2 decimal places)
d. 90% of all children spend at least how many hours per day unsupervised?
hours.
