Question
This is a question on normal distribution. Please provide a detailed explanation on this. Thanks in advance!
14 Once a week, Haziq rows his boat from the island where he lives to the mainland. The journey time,
X minutes, is normally distributed with mean u and variance o?.
a Given that P(20 < X < 30) = 0.32 and that P(X < 20) = 0.63, find the values of µ and oʻ.
b The time taken for Haziq to row back home, Y minutes, is normally distributed and P(Y < 20) = 0.6532.
Given that the variances of X and Y are equal, calculate:
i
the mean time taken by Haziq to row back home
ii the expected number of days over a period of five years (each of 52 weeks) on which Haziq takes more
than 25 minutes to row back home.
