题目
In a cycling event the times taken to complete a course are modelled by a normal distribution with mean 62.3 minutes and standard deviation 8.4 minutes.
(a) Find the probability that a randomly chosen cyclist has a time less than 74 minutes.
(b) Find the probability that 4 randomly chosen cyclists all have times between 50 and 74 minutes.
In a different cycling event, the times can also be modelled by a normal distribution. 23% of the cyclists have times less than 36 minutes and 10% of the cyclists have times greater than 54 minutes.
(c) Find estimates for the mean and standard deviation of this distribution.
题目中文翻译
在一项自行车赛事中,完成赛程所需的时间用均值为 62.3 分钟、标准差为 8.4 分钟的正态分布建模。
(a) 随机选择一名自行车运动员,求其用时少于 74 分钟的概率。
(b) 随机选择 4 名自行车运动员,求他们的用时全部在 50 至 74 分钟之间的概率。
在另一项自行车赛事中,用时也可用正态分布建模。23% 的运动员用时少于 36 分钟,10% 的运动员用时超过 54 分钟。
(c) 求该分布的均值和标准差的估计值。
