Suppose that the duration of a particular type of criminal trial is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 17 days and a standard deviation of 5 days. Let X be the number of days for a randomly selected trial. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. What is the distribution of X? X ~ N(.     ,       )? b. If one of the trials is randomly chosen, find the probability that it lasted at least 14 days.?  c. If one of the trials is randomly chosen, find the probability that it lasted between 16 and 21 days. ? d. 61% of all of these types of trials are completed within how many days? (Please enter a whole number) ?

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
