13. The random variable x has a normal distribution with mu = 40 and sigma^2 = 36. Find the value of x, call it x0, such that: a)P(x >= x0) = 0.10 b)P(x= x0) = 0.40Solution
First, we get the z score from the given left tailed area. As
Left tailed area = 0.9
Then, using table or technology,
z = 1.281551566
As x = u + z * s / sqrt(n)
where
u = mean = 40
z = the critical z score = 1.281551566
s = standard deviation = 6
n = sample size = 1
Then
x = critical value = 47.68930939 [PART A]
*************************************
First, we get the z score from the given left tailed area. As
Left tailed area = 0.05
Then, using table or technology,
z = -1.644853627
As x = u + z * s / sqrt(n)
where
u = mean = 40
z = the critical z score = -1.644853627
s = standard deviation = 6
n = sample size = 1
Then
x = critical value = 30.13087824 [PART B]
*******************************
First, we get the z score from the given left tailed area. As
Left tailed area = 0.6
Then, using table or technology,
z = 0.253347103
As x = u + z * s / sqrt(n)
where
u = mean = 40
z = the critical z score = 0.253347103
s = standard deviation = 6
n = sample size = 1
Then
x = critical value = 41.52008262 [PART C]
