A company manufactures televisions. The average weight of the televisions is 5 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.1 pound. Assuming that the weights are normally distributed, what is the weight that separates the bottom 10% of weights from the top 90%?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]0.2564\text{ pounds}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The 90th percentile of a normally distributed curve occurs at 1.282 standard deviations. Similarly, the 10th percentile of a normally distributed curve occurs at -1.282 standard deviations.

To find the [tex]X[/tex] percentile for the television weights, use the formula:

[tex]X=\mu +k\sigma[/tex], where [tex]\mu[/tex] is the average of the set, [tex]k[/tex] is some constant relevant to the percentile you're finding, and [tex]\sigma[/tex] is one standard deviation.

As I mentioned previously, 90th percentile occurs at 1.282 standard deviations. The average of the set and one standard deviation is already given. Substitute [tex]\mu=5[/tex], [tex]k=1.282[/tex], and [tex]\sigma=0.1[/tex]:

[tex]X=5+(1.282)(0.1)=5.1282[/tex]

Therefore, the 90th percentile weight is 5.1282 pounds.

Repeat the process for calculating the 10th percentile weight:

[tex]X=5+(-1.282)(0.1)=4.8718[/tex]

The difference between these two weights is [tex]5.1282-4.8718=\boxed{0.2564\text{ pounds}}[/tex].

Answer 2

Answer:

0.2564

Step-by-step explanation:

90th percentile, we use the formula X=μ + Zσ,

Where u = mean and  sigma = standard deviation and Z = 1.282

The mean is 5 and sigma = .1

X = 5+1.282(.1)

X = 5.1282

10th percentile, we use the formula X=μ + Zσ,

Where u = mean and  sigma = standard deviation and Z = -1.282

The mean is 5 and sigma = .1

X = 5-1.282(.1)

X = 4.8718

The difference is

5.1282 - 4.8718

0.2564

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(x=3)=0.2269[/tex]

Mean=2.1

Standard deviation=1.21

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

n=7

Probability of success, p=0.3

q=1-p=1-0.3=0.7

We have to find the probability of 3 success for the binomial experiment  and find the mean and standard deviation.

Binomial distribution formula

[tex]P(X=x)=nC_xp^{x}q^{n-x}[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]P(x=3)=7C_3(0.3)^3(0.7)^{7-3}[/tex]

[tex]P(x=3)=7C_3(0.3)^3(0.7)^{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(x=3)=\frac{7!}{3!4!}(0.3)^3(0.7)^{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(x=3)=\frac{7\times 6\times 5\times 4!}{3\times 2\times 1\times 4!}(0.3)^{3}(0.7)^{4}[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(x=3)=0.2269[/tex]

Now,

Mean, [tex]\mu=np=7\times 0.3=2.1[/tex]

Standard deviation, [tex]\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Standard deviation, [tex]\sigma=\sqrt{7\times 0.3\times 0.7}[/tex]

Standard deviation, [tex]\sigma=1.21[/tex]

f(0) means the functional value for x = 0.

is x = 2 ? no.

so, automatically the other case applies, and f(0) = -2

f(2) means x=2

The rectangular floor of a storage shed has an area of 580 square feet. The length of the floor is 9 feet more than its width (see figure). Find the dimensions of the floor.

Length= ? Ft
Width= ? Ft

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

length: 29 ftwidth: 20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the dimensions are integer numbers of feet, you're looking for factors of 580 that have a difference of 9.

 580 = 1×580 = 2×290 = 4×145 = 5×116 = 10×58 = 20×29

The last pair of factors differs by 9, so ...

  the length is 29 feet; the width is 20 feet.

Bronson is ordering a sundae at a restaurant, and the server tells him that he can have up to four toppings: butterscotch sauce, caramel, peanuts, and strawberries. Since he cannot decide how many of the toppings he wants, he tells the server to surprise him. If the server randomly chooses which toppings to add, what is the probability that Bronson gets just butterscotch sauce, peanuts, and strawberries

Answers

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

if zero toppings is an option, then there would be 5 possibilities for toppings

0,1,2,3,or 4

the server randomly chose 3 toppings so that would be one out of 5 or 20%.

(If the server did not have the option to put zero toppings on then there would be only 4 options 1,2,3, or 4 toppings and the correct answer would be one out of 4 or 25%.)

Or

{y | y is a natural number and 11 < y < 16}

b. Rooster form: {3, 4, 5 ,6, ...}

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Rooster form: {12, 13, 14, 15}

All four numbers are natural numbers, therefore we would write this set of numbers in set builder form such that they will all have the same property. Thus:

Set-builder form: {y | y is a natural number and 12 ≤ y ≤ 15}

Or as

{y | y is a natural number and 11 < y < 16}

b. Set-builder form: {y | y is a natural number and y > 2}

Since natural numbers are positive integers, this tells us that all values of the set are not less than or equal to 2. Therefore, they are integers that range from 3 and above.

Thus:

Rooster form: {3, 4, 5 ,6, ...}

Let the probability of success on a Bernoulli trial be 0.26. a. In five Bernoulli trials, what is the probability that there will be 4 failures

Answers

Answer:

0.3898 = 38.98% probability that there will be 4 failures

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence of Bernoulli trials forms the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Let the probability of success on a Bernoulli trial be 0.26.

This means that [tex]p = 0.26[/tex]

a. In five Bernoulli trials, what is the probability that there will be 4 failures?

Five trials means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]

4 failures, so 1 success, and we have to find P(X = 1).

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.26)^{1}.(0.74)^{4} = 0.3898[/tex]

0.3898 = 38.98% probability that there will be 4 failures

A die is rolled 20 times and the number of twos that come up is tallied. Find the probability of getting the given result. [Binomail Probability] Less than four twos

Answers

Answer:

0.5665 = 56.65% probability of less than four twos.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each roll, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a two, or it is not a two. The probability of a roll ending up in a two is independent of any other roll, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

A die is rolled 20 times

This means that [tex]n = 20[/tex]

One out of six sides is 2:

This means that [tex]p = \frac{1}{6} = 0.1667[/tex]

Probability of less than four twos:

This is:

[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.1667)^{0}.(0.8333)^{20} = 0.0261[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.1667)^{1}.(0.8333)^{19} = 0.1043[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.1667)^{2}.(0.8333)^{18} = 0.1982[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{20,3}.(0.1667)^{3}.(0.8333)^{17} = 0.2379[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0261 + 0.1043 + 0.1982 + 0.2379 = 0.5665[/tex]

0.5665 = 56.65% probability of less than four twos.

A new car costs $23000. The value decreases by 15% each year.(a) Write the exponential model to represent the cars value after t years. (b) To the nearest dollar, how much will the car be worth after 4 years?

Answers

Answer:

(a) 23000(1-15%)^t

(b) about 12006.14375

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) There's a formula for this problem y = A(d)^t where, A is the initial value you are given, d is the growth or decay rate and t is the time period. So, in this case, as the car cost is decreasing it is a decay problem and we can write the formula as such; y = A(1-R)^t

And with the values, we get the exponential model 23000(1-15%)^t

(b) From question (a) we already have the model and the time period given here is 4 years. So putting it in the formula we get,

23000(1-15%)^4

=23000(1-15/100)^4

=23000(0.85)^4

=23000x0.52200625

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C.  837

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining angle is ...

  C = 180° -A -B = 180°-62° -67° = 51°

The law of sines tells us that the length AC is ...

  AC/sin(B) = AB/sin(C)

  AC = AB·sin(B)/sin(C) = 40·sin(67°)/sin(51°)

Using the area formula given, we now have ...

  area = 1/2(AB)(AC)sin(A)

  = (1/2)(40)(40·sin(67°)sin(62°)/sin(51°) ≈ 836.7

The area of the triangle is about 837 square units.

Recall that for |x| < 1, we have

[tex]\displaystyle \frac1{1-x} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n[/tex]

Differentiating both sides gives

[tex]\displaystyle \frac1{(1-x)^2} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty nx^{n-1} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)x^n[/tex]

and multiplying both sides by 8 gives the series for f(x) :

[tex]f(x)=\displaystyle \frac8{(1-x)^2} = \boxed{8\sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)x^n}[/tex]

and this converges over the same interval, |x| < 1, so that the radius of convergence is 1.

What proportion of the students scored at least 23 points on this test, rounded to five decimal places

Answers

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The distribution of scores on a recent test closely followed a Normal Distribution with a mean of 22 points and a standard deviation of 2 points. For this question, DO NOT apply the standard deviation rule.

What proportion of the students scored at least 23 points on this test, rounded to five decimal places?

Answer:

proportion of the students that scored at least 23 points on this test is 0.30850

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mean μ = 22

standard deviation σ = 2

since test closely followed a Normal Distribution

let

Z = x-μ / σ      { standard normal random variable ]

Now, proportion of the students that scored at least 23 points on this test.

P( x ≥ 23 ) = P( (x-μ / σ) ≥  ( 23-22 / 2 )

= P( Z ≥ 1/2 )

= P( Z ≥ 0.5 )

= 1 - P( Z < 0.5 )

Now, from z table

{ we have P( Z < 0.5 ) = 0.6915 }

= 1 - P( Z < 0.5 ) = 1 - 0.6915 = 0.30850

P( x ≥ 23 ) = 0.30850

Therefore, proportion of the students that scored at least 23 points on this test is 0.30850
