- The length of songs in the Big Hair playlist of a Statistics professor's mp3 player varies from song to song. This variation can be modeled by the normal distribution, with a mean song length of �=4.3 minutes and a standard deviation of �=0.65 minutes. (Note that a song that has a length of 4.5 minutes is a song that lasts for 4 minutes and 30 seconds.)The professor decides to shuffle the playlist, which means that the mp3 player will randomly pick a song within this particular playlist and play it next.(a) What is the probability that the next song to be played is between 3.9 and 4.85 minutes long? Answer to four decimals. (b) What proportion of all the songs in this playlist are longer than 5 minutes? Use four decimals in your answer. (c) 20% of all the songs in this playlist are at most how long, in minutes? Enter your answer to two decimals. minutes(d) There are 247 songs in the Big Hair playlist.
