题目
A mathematical puzzle is given to a large number of students. The times taken to complete the puzzle are normally distributed with mean 14.6 minutes and standard deviation 5.2 minutes.
(a) In a random sample of 250 of the students, how many would you expect to have taken more than 20 minutes to complete the puzzle?
All the students are given a second puzzle to complete. Their times, in minutes, are normally distributed with mean and standard deviation . It is found that 20% of the students have times less than 14.5 minutes and 67% of the students have times greater than 18.5 minutes.
(b) Find the value of and the value of .

让大量学生完成一道数学谜题。他们完成这道谜题所需的时间服从正态分布,均值为 14.6 分钟,标准差为 5.2 分钟。
(a) 从这些学生中随机抽取 250 人,预计其中有多少人完成这道谜题的时间超过 20 分钟?
让所有学生完成第二道谜题。他们所需的时间(单位为分钟)服从均值为 、标准差为 的正态分布。发现 20% 的学生用时少于 14.5 分钟,67% 的学生用时超过 18.5 分钟。
(b) 求 和 的值。
原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。
