The length of time a full length movie runs from opening to credits is normally distributed with a mean of 1.9 hours and standard deviation of 0.3 hours. Calculate the following: A random movie is between 1.8 and 2.0 hours. A movie is longer than 2.3 hours. The length of movie that is shorter than 94% of the movies.

a) The probability that a random movie is between 1.8 and 2.0 hours = 0.2586.

b) The probability that a random movie is longer than 2.3 hours is 0.0918.

c) The length of movie that is shorter than 94% of the movies is 1.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we would solve it using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation

a) A random movie is between 1.8 and 2.0 hours

z = (x-μ)/σ,

x1 = 1.8,

x2 = 2.0

μ is the population mean = 1.9

σ is the population standard deviation = 0.3

z1 = (1.8 - 1.9)/0.3

z1 = -1/0.3

z1 = -0.33333

Using the z score table

P(z1 = -0.33) = 0.3707

z2 = (2.0 - 1.9)/0.3

z1 = 1/0.3

z1 = 0.33333

p(z2 = 0.33) = 0.6293

= P(- 0.33 ≤ z ≤ 0.33)

= 0.6293 - 0.3707

= 0.2586

The probability that a random movie is between 1.8 and 2.0 hours = 0.2586

b) A movie is longer than 2.3 hours

z = (x-μ)/σ,

x1 = 2.3

μ is the population mean = 1.9

σ is the population standard deviation = 0.3

z = (2.3 - 1.9)/0.3

z = 4/0.3

z = 1.33333

P(z = 1.33) = 0.90824

P(x>2.3) = = 1 - 0.90824

= 0.091759

≈ 0.0918

The probability that a random movie is longer than 2.3 hours is 0.0918.

3) The length of movie that is shorter than 94% of the movies.

z = (x-μ)/σ

Probability (z ) = 94% = 0.94

Movie that is shorter than 0.94

= P(1 - 0.94) = P(0.06)

Finding the P (x< 0.06) = -1.555

≈ -1.56

μ is the population mean = 1.9

σ is the population standard deviation = 0.3

-1.56 = (x - 1.9)/ 0.3

Cross multiply

-1.56 × 0.3 = x - 1.9

- 0.468 + 1.9 = x

= 1.432 hours

≈ 1.4 hours

Therefore, the length of movie that is shorter than 94% of the movies is 1.4 hours

1/4 and 8/3 because:

the reciprocal if 4 is 1/4 because 4 is used as 4/1 and the opposite of that is 1/4. the opposite of 3/8 is 8/3 so that is the answer.

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.
