Suppose that it is reported in the news that 12% of the people living and working in Kokomo feel that their commute is too long. What is the travel time to work that separates the top 12% of people with the longest travel times and the lower 88%

Respuesta :

Answer:

22.3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the travel time is as follows:

Given that

[tex]\mu[/tex] = 17

And, the standard deviation is 4.5

P(X≤C) = 0.88

P( x - [tex]\mu[/tex]) ÷ [tex]\sigma[/tex] ≤  (C - [tex]\mu[/tex])  ÷ [tex]\sigma[/tex]  = 0.88

(C - [tex]\mu[/tex])  ÷ [tex]\sigma[/tex]  = 1.175

c = [tex]\mu[/tex] +  1.175 × [tex]\sigma[/tex]

= 17 + 1.175 × 4.5

= 22.3 minutes

Hence, the travel time is 22.3 minutes
