Question

Eruptions of the Old Faithful geyser have duration times with a mean of 245.0 sec and a standard deviation of 36.4 sec (based on sample data). One eruption had a duration time of 110 sec.

Answer 1

Difference between time = -135 sec

Explanation:

Given:

Mean eruption = 245 sec

Standard deviation = 36.4 sec

One eruption had a duration time of 110 sec

Find:

Difference between duration time of 110 sec and mean = ?

Computation:

⇒ Difference between time = One eruption duration time - Mean

⇒ Difference between time = 110 sec - 245 sec

⇒ Difference between time = -135 sec
