A.

The average travel time of a student from home to school is 90 minutes with
standard deviation of 8.5 minutes.
μ=90 minutes δ=8.5 minutes

1. What is the probability that a student’s home-to-school travel time is over


100 minutes?

P (X > 100)

( x−μ ) ( 100−90 )
Z= = =1.18
δ 8.5
(0.88100)

AREA OF PROBABILITY= 1 – 0.88100 = 0.1190

2. What is the probability that a student’s home-to-school travel time is either


under 70 minutes or over 95 minutes?

P (70 > X > 95)

( x−μ ) ( 95−90 )
Zupper = = =0.59
δ 8.5

(0.72240)

AREA OF PROBABILITY= 1 – 0.88100 = 0.2776

( x−μ ) (70−90 )
Zlower = = =−2.35
δ 8.5

(0.00939)

AREA OF PROBABILITY = 0.2776 + 0.00939 = 0.28699

3. What is the probability that a student’s home-to-school travel time is less


than 60 minutes?

P (X < 60)

( x−μ ) ( 60−90 )
Z= = =−3.53
δ 8.5

(0.00021)

AREA OF PROBABILITY = 0.00021


4. What is the probability that a student’s home-to-school travel time is
between 65 minutes and 110 minutes?

P (65 < X < 110)

( x−μ ) ( 110−90 )
Zupper = = =2.35
δ 8.5

(0.99061)

( x−μ ) ( 65−90 )
Zlower = = =−2.94
δ 8.5

(0.00164)

AREA OF PROBABILITY = 0.99061 – 0.00164 = 0.98897

B. A domestic tourist from Luzon spends an average of P20,000 with standard


deviation of P2,650 every time she goes to certain tourist destinations in
Visayas.
μ=P 20,000 δ=P 2,650

1. What is the probability that a domestic tourist spent between P15,000 and
P18,000?

P (15,000 < X < 18,000)

( x−μ ) ( 18,000−20,000 )
Zupper = = =−0.75
δ 2,650

(0.22663)

( x−μ ) (15,000−20,000 )
Zlower = = =−1.89
δ 2,650

(0.02938)

AREA OF PROBABILITY = 0.22663 – 0.02938 = 0.19725


2. What is the probability that a domestic tourist spent over P27,000)?

P (X > 27,000)

( x−μ ) ( 27,000−20,000 )
Z= = =2.64
δ 2,650

(0.99585)

AREA OF PROBABILITY= 1 – 0.99585= 0.00415

3. What is the probability that a domestic tourist spent P30,000 at the least?

P (X > 30,000)

( x−μ ) ( 30,000−20,000 )
Z= = =3.77
δ 2,650
(0.99992)
AREA OF PROBABILITY= 1 – 0.99992= 0.00008

4. What is the probability that a domestic tourist spent either below P12,500
or above P29,500?

P (12,500 > X > 29,500)

( x−μ ) ( 29,500−20,000 )
Zupper = = =3.58
δ 2,650

(0.99983)

AREA OF PROBABILITY = 1 - 0.99983 = 0.00017

( x−μ ) (12,500−20,000 )
Zlower = = =−2.83
δ 2,650

(0.00233)

AREA OF PROBABILITY = 0.00017 + 0.00233 = 0.0025
