- A distribution with µ = 55 and o = 6 is being standardized so that the new mean and standard deviation will be u = 50 and o = 10. When the distribution is standardized, what value will be obtained for a score of X= 58 from the original distribution?arrow_forwardToday, the waves are crashing onto the beach every 6 seconds. The times from when a person arrives at the shoreline until a crashing wave is observed follows a Uniform distribution from 0 to 6 seconds. Round to 4 decimal places where possible. The mean of this distribution is The standard deviation is The probability that wave will crash onto the beach exactly 3.9 seconds after the person arrives is P(x = 3.9) =arrow_forwardThe measurement of the distance to a certain object is accompanied by systematic and random errors. The systematic error equals 50 m. in the direction of decreasing distance. The random errors obey the normal distribution law with the mean-square deviation = 100 m. Find (1) the probability of measuring the distance with an error not exceeding 150 m. in absolute value, (2) the probability that the measured distance does not exceed the actual one.arrow_forward

The times from when a person arrives at the shoreline until a crashing wave is observed follows a Uniform distribution from 0 to 5.1 seconds. Round to 4 decimal places where possible. The mean of this distribution is The standard deviation is The probability that wave will crash onto the beach exactly 1.4 seconds after the person arrives is P(x = 1.4) = The probability that the wave will crash onto the beach between 1.3 and 4.7 seconds after the person arrives is P(1.3 < x < 4.7) = The probability that it will take longer than 3.92 seconds for the wave to crash onto the beach after the person arrives is P(x > 3.92) = Suppose that the person has already been standing at the shoreline for 1.1 seconds without a wave crashing in. Find the probability that it will take between 2.4 and 3.8 seconds for the wave to crash onto the shoreline. 84% of the time a person will wait at least how long before the wave crashes in?…arrow_forward
