The tensile strength of paper is modeled by a normal distribution with a mean of 35 pounds per square inch and a standard deviation of 2 pounds per square inch.

Required:
a. What is the probability that the strength of a sample is less than 38 lb/in²?
b. If the specifications require the tensile strength to exceed 30 lb/in², what proportion of the samples is scrapped?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) the probability that the strength of a sample is less than 38 lb/in² is approximately 0.9332

b) approximately 0.62% of the sample are scrapped

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

What is the probability that the strength of a sample is less than 38 lb/in²?

lets X rep the paper tensile strength in pounds per square inch.

the probability that the strength of the sample is less than 38 lb/in²

i.e P( X < 38 )

so assuming that X is normally distributed with u = 35 lb/in² and α = 2 lb/in²,

so the probability expression P( X < 38 ) can be standardized as

P( X < 38 ) = P( (X-35)/2  < (38-35)/2)  

= P( X < 1.5 )  

from the cumulative standard normal distribution table,

we find P( X < 1.5 )  =  0.9332

so

P( X < 38 ) = P( X < 1.5 )  

= 0.9332

therefore the probability that the strength of a sample is less than 38 lb/in² is approximately 0.9332

b)

If the specifications require the tensile strength to exceed 30 lb/in², what proportion of the samples is scrapped?

this can be represented as P( X < 30 )

By standardization the probability expression  P( X < 30 ) can be transformed as;

P( X < 30 ) = P( (X-35)/2 < (30-35)/2)  

=  P( z < -2.5 )

from the cumulative standard normal distribution table,

we find P( X < -2.5 )  =  0.0062

so

P( X < 30 ) = P( X < -2.5 )  

= 0.0062

therefore, approximately 0.62% of the sample are scrapped

Use Newton's method to approximate the given number correct to eight decimal places. 4√73

Answers

Answer:34.17601498.

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's method of approximation is used to approximate values.

The value of [tex]\mathbf{4\sqrt{73}}[/tex] is 34.17601498

Let the number be x.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x = 4\sqrt{73}}[/tex]

Square both sides

[tex]\mathbf{x^2 = 1168}[/tex]

Subtract 1168 from both sides

[tex]\mathbf{x^2 - 1168 = 0}[/tex]

Express as a function

[tex]\mathbf{f(x) = x^2 - 1168 }[/tex]

Set x1 to 73/2.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x_1 = \frac{73}{2} = 36.5}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]\mathbf{x_{n+1} = x_n- \frac{x_n^2-1168}{2x_n}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x_{1+1} = x_1- \frac{x_1^2-1168}{2x_1}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{2} = x_1- \frac{x_1^2-1168}{2x_1}}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{x_{2} = 36.5- \frac{36.5^2-1168}{2 \times 36.5}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{2} = 34.25}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{3} = x_2- \frac{x_2^2-1168}{2x_2}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{3} = 34.25- \frac{34.25^2-1168}{2 \times 34.25}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{3} = 34.1760948905}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{4} = x_3- \frac{x_3^2-1168}{2x_3}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{4} = 34.1760948905- \frac{34.1760948905^2-1168}{2\times 34.1760948905}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{4} = 34.1760149814}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{5} = x_4- \frac{x_4^2-1168}{2x_4}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{5} = 34.1760149814- \frac{34.1760149814^2-1168}{2\times 34.1760149814}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x_{5} = 34.1760149813}[/tex]

The values of x4 and x5 are the same up till the 8th decimal place.

Hence, the value of [tex]\mathbf{4\sqrt{73}}[/tex] is 34.17601498

Triangle ABC in the figure above represents the area serviced by a shipping company that plans to build a distribution center at the incenter of the triangle located at point E. A circle is constructed to represent the location of the center. The diameter of the circle is 28 miles. The existing road is perpendicular to the incenter and the company is looking to build 2 more perpendicular roads but connecting the other 2 sides of the triangle. How many more miles of road will be needed?

Select one:
A. 28
B. 34
C. 43
D. 56

Answers

Answer:

A. 28

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 28

step 1.

We know that the diameter of the circle inscribed within the triangle is 28 miles, and we know that E is the incenter of triangle ABC.

step 2.

Next, we learned that the perpendicular legs from the incenter to the sides of the triangle are congruent, and we know that the radius of a circle is 1/2 of the diameter of the circle.

step 3.

Since the diameter of the circle is 28, we know the distance of segment DE is 14. Next, we know the perpendicular legs are equal to segment DE. Thus, we can solve for the amount of additional miles of road by writing 14 + 14 = 28.

△ABC is a right triangle with right angle C. Side AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is 6 units longer than side BC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. If the hypotenuse has length 217−−√ units, find the length of AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.

Answers

Given:

In △ABC is a right angle triangle.

AC is 6 units longer than side BC.

[tex]Hypotenuse=2\sqrt{17}[/tex]

To find:

The length of AC.

Solution:

Let the length of BC be x.

So, Length of AC = x+6

According to the Pythagoras theorem, in a right angle triangle

[tex]Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Perpendicualar^2[/tex]

△ABC is a right angle triangle and AC is hypotenuse, so

[tex](2\sqrt{17})^2=(x)^2+(x+6)^2[/tex]

[tex]68=x^2+x^2+12x+36[/tex]            [tex][\because (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2][/tex]

Subtract 68 from both sides.

[tex]0=2x^2+12x+36-68[/tex]

[tex]0=2x^2+12x-32[/tex]

[tex]0=2(x^2+6x-16)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]x^2+6x-16=0[/tex]

Splitting the middle term, we get

[tex]x^2+8x-2x-16=0[/tex]

[tex]x(x+8)-2(x+8)=0[/tex]

[tex](x+8)(x-2)=0[/tex]

[tex]x=-8,2[/tex]

Side cannot be negative, so x=2 only.

Now,

[tex]AC=x+6[/tex]

[tex]AC=2+6[/tex]

[tex]AC=8[/tex]

Therefore, the length of AC is 8 units.

4 hours worked for $12; 7 hrs worked for $28 are the pair of ratios equal?

Answers

Answer:

no they're not equal

Step-by-step explanation:

you can find the ratio by dividing 12/4 and 28/7. 12/4 = 3 and 28/7 = 4. 3 and 4 are not equal, so no.

Answer:

No, the pair of ratios are not equal

Explanation:

To see if the ratios are equal, we have to simplify the both of them. For the first one, it’s 12/4. That is equivalent to 3/1. This means she gets $3 for every hour. Now to the next one. The ratio is 28/7 and simplify that into 4/1. That means he gets $4 each hour. So they are different meaning the pair of ratios are not equal. Good luck on your test! Have a good day.

Answers

Answer:

Since the slope of KM and ST are different, they are not parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of line KM = [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

 Slope of ST = [tex]-\frac{8}{5}[/tex]

Determine whether the lines are perpendicular;

Solution:

We can use the slope of a line to determine whether they are perpendicular or parallel to one another.

Parallel lines do not meet one another

Perpendicular lines cross one another at an angle of 90°

Two lines are parallel if their slopes are the same;

  Since the slope of KM and ST are different, they are not parallel

Suppose that the amount of snowfall per storm in Lincoln is normally distributed with µ = 4.2 inches and standard deviation µ = 2.3 inches (totally made up data). If the mayor decides that only the top 5% of storms should have school cancelled, what is the cutoff snowfall for school to be cancelled?

Answers

Answer:

7.9835

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean snowfall per storm (µ) = 4.2 inches standard deviation (s) = 2.3 inches

Only the top 5% of storm should result in school being canceled :

Cut off snowfall for school to be canceled '

P(Z ≥ 5%) ; p(Z ≥ 0.05) = 1.645

Using the z relation :

Z = (x - m) / s

1.645 = (x - 4.2) /2.3

x - 4.2 = 2.3 * 1.645

x - 4.2 = 3.7835

x = 3.7835 + 4.2

x = 7.9835

Cut off snowfall for school to be canceled 7.9835

Plant A is 18 inches tall after one week, 36 inches tall after two weeks, 56 inches tall after three weeks. Plant B is 18 inches tall after one week, 36 inches tall after two weeks, 54 inches tall after three weeks. Which situation represents a proportional relationship between the plants?
Height and number of weeks?

Answers

Answer:

There are 2 given situations:

Plant A and Plant B growing in 3 weeks. Find which plant grows proportional

Plant A

=> 1st week = 18 inches

=> 2nd week = 36 inches

=> 3rd week = 56 inches

=> 18 + 18 = 36 + 20 = 56

Thus, this is not proportional

Plant B

=> 1st week = 18 inches

=> 2nd week = 36 inches

=> 3rd week  = 54 inches

=> 18 + 18 = 36 + 18 = 54 inches

thus, the growth of this plant is proportional

The problem is not how to do the question. The problem is how to get your calculator to do the question.

V = s^3

s = ?

V = 216

So what you need is the cube root of 216

s^3 = 216

cube root(s^3) = cube root(216)

s = cube root 216

Your calculator should have a y^x or x ^y key.

Put in 216
