In Exercises 1 and 2, use the following wait times (minutes) at 10:00 AM for the Tower of Terror ride at Disney World (from Data Set 33 “Disney World Wait Times” in Appendix B).


35 35 20 50 95 75 45 50 30 35 30 30


e. Convert the longest wait time to a z score.
f. Based on the result from part (e), is the longest wait time significantly high?

Continuous Uniform Distribution. In Exercises 5–8, refer to the continuous uniform distribution depicted in Figure 6-2 and described in Example 1. Assume that a passenger is randomly selected, and find the probability that the waiting time is within the given range.

Greater than 3.00 minutes

Continuous Uniform Distribution. In Exercises 5–8, refer to the continuous uniform distribution depicted in Figure 6-2 and described in Example 1. Assume that a passenger is randomly selected, and find the probability that the waiting time is within the given range.

Less than 4.00 minutes

Continuous Uniform Distribution. In Exercises 5–8, refer to the continuous uniform distribution depicted in Figure 6-2 and described in Example 1. Assume that a passenger is randomly selected, and find the probability that the waiting time is within the given range.

Between 2 minutes and 3 minutes

Distributions In a continuous uniform distribution,

a. Find the mean and standard deviation for the distribution of the waiting times represented in Figure 6-2, which accompanies Exercises 5–8.

Pulse Rates. In Exercises 13–24, use the data in the table below for pulse rates of adult males and females (based on Data Set 1 “Body Data” in Appendix B). Hint: Draw a graph in each case.

Find the probability that a male has a pulse rate between 70 beats per minute and 90 beats per minute.

Pulse Rates. In Exercises 13–24, use the data in the table below for pulse rates of adult males and females (based on Data Set 1 “Body Data” in Appendix B). Hint: Draw a graph in each case.

" style="" width="340">

For males, find P90 which is the pulse rate separating the bottom 90% from the top 10%.

z Scores. In Exercises 5–8, express all z scores with two decimal places.

Diastolic Blood Pressure of Females For the diastolic blood pressure measurements of females listed in Data Set 1 “Body Data” in Appendix B, the highest measurement is 98 mm Hg. The 147 diastolic blood pressure measurements of females have a mean of 70.2 mm Hg and a standard deviation of 11.2 mm Hg.

c. Convert the highest diastolic blood pressure to a z score.

Sketch a graph to represent the probability, then use a calculator to find it.

$P\left(Z>1.14\right)$
