Question

Transcribed Image Text:The average time to run the 5K fun run is 25 minutes and
the standard deviation is 2.4 minutes. 6 runners are
randomly selected to run the 5K fun run. Round all answers
to 4 decimal places where possible and assume a normal
distribution.
a. What is the distribution of X? X - N(d
b. What is the distribution of a? a - N(
c. What is the distribution of x? > x - N(
d. If one randomly selected runner is timed, find the
probability that this runner's time will be between
24.9303 and 26.1303 minutes.
e. For the 6 runners, find the probability that their
average time is between 24.9303 and 26.1303
minutes.
f. Find the probability that the randomly selected 6
person team will have a total time less than 141.
g. For part e) and f), is the assumption of normal
necessary? O YesO No
h. The top 20% of all 6 person team relay races will
compete in the championship round. These are the
20% lowest times. What is the longest total time that
a relay team can have and still make it to the
championship round?
minutes
