Question
The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variable x with a mean of 8.6 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.5 minutes. Assume that the distribution of taxi and takeoff times is approximately normal. You may assume that the jets are lined up on a runway so that one taxies and takes off immediately after the other, and that they take off one at a time on a given runway.
(a) What is the probability that for 35 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(b) What is the probability that for 35 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(c) What is the probability that for 35 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(b) What is the probability that for 35 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(c) What is the probability that for 35 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Service time for a customer coming through a checkout counter in a retail store is a random variable with the mean of 10.0 minutes and standard deviation of 4.0 minutes. Suppose that the distribution of service time is fairly close to a normal distribution. Suppose there are two counters in a store, n₁ = 41, customers in the first line and m₂ = 51 customers in the second line. Find the probability that the difference between the mean service time for the shorter line and the mean service time for the longer X₂ one ¹2 is more than 0.4 minutes. Assume that the service times for each customer can be regarded as independent random variables.arrow_forward* Your answer is incorrect. Service time for a customer coming through a checkout counter in a retail store is a random variable with the mean of 3.5 minutes and standard deviation of 3.5 minutes. Suppose that the distribution of service time is fairly close to a normal distribution. Suppose there are two counters in a store, n₁ = 2 customers in the first line and n₂ = 13 customers in the second line. Find the probability that the difference between the mean service time for the shorter line X₁ and the mean service time for the longer one X₂ is more than 0.1 minutes. Assume that the service times for each customer can be regarded as independent random variables. Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76). P = i 98.80arrow_forward
