This Exercise Is Based on the Following Information, Gathered from Student

question 43

Multiple Choice

This exercise is based on the following information, gathered from student testing of a statistical software package called MODSTAT. Students were asked to complete certain tasks using the software, without any instructions. The results were as follows. (Assume that the time for each task is normally distributed.) It can be shown that if X and Y are independent normal random variables with means $\mu _ { X }$ and $\mu _ { y }$ and standard deviations $\sigma _ { X }$ and $\sigma _ { y }$ respectively, then their sum $X + Y$ is also normally distributed and has mean $\mu = \mu _ { X } + \mu _ { Y }$ and standard deviation $\sigma = \sqrt { \sigma ^ { 2 } X + \sigma ^ { 2 } Y }$ . Assuming that the time it takes a student to complete each task is independent of the others, find the probability that a student will take at least 20 minutes to complete both Tasks 3 and 4. Round your answer to four decimal places. $$\begin{array} { | l | l | l | } \hline \text { Task } & \begin{array} { l } \text { Mean Time } \\\text { (minutes) }\end{array} & \begin{array} { l } \text { Standard } \\\text { Deviation }\end{array} \\\hline \text { Task 1: Descriptive Analysis of Data } & 11.4 & 5.0 \\\hline \text { Task 2: Standardizing Scores } & 11.9 & 9.0 \\\hline \text { Task 3: Poisson Probability Table } & 7.5 & 4.1 \\\hline \text { Task 4: Areas Under Normal Curve } & 9.5 & 5.9 \\\hline\end{array}$$

Definitions:

Hereditary Material

Genetic information passed down from parents to offspring, primarily contained within DNA.

Recessive Genes

Genetic variants that are expressed in an organism's phenotype only when two copies of the gene are present, but not when a dominant gene is present.

Histones

Proteins found in eukaryotic cell nuclei that package and order the DNA into structural units called nucleosomes, playing a critical role in gene regulation.

Neuroplasticity

The malleability of the human brain, its capacity to change and grow especially in response to new environmental input. Includes the capacity of neurons to shift functions to compensate for damage to other cells or because they have been transplanted to a different part of the brain.
