An insurance office buys paper by the ream, 500 sheets, for use in the copier, fax, and printer. Each ream lasts an average of 4 days, with standard deviation 1 day. The distribution is normal, independent of previous reams. a. Find the probability that the next ream out- lasts the present one by more than 2 days. b. How many reams must be purchased if they are to last at least 60 days with probability at least 80%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) the probability that the next ream out- lasts the present one by more than 2 days is 0.0787

b) the number of reams that must be purchased is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Lets X₁ and X₂ be the two random variables that represents the first and second ream lasts

given that both random variables follow normal distribution with mean 4 and standard deviation 1.

a)

Find the probability that the next ream out- lasts the present one by more than 2 days.

P( X₂  - X₁ > 2 ) = P( [(X₂  - X₁ - E(X₂  - X₁)) / √(V(X₂  - X₁)] > [ (2-E(X₂  - X₁))/√(V(X₂  - X₁) ]

= 1 - P( Z ≤ [2-(μ₂  - μ₁)] / [√( V(X₂) + V(X₁) ) ] )

= 1 - P( Z ≤ [2-(4  - 4)] / [√( 1 + 1 )] )

= 1 - P = ( Z ≤ 2 / √2 )

= 1 - p( Z ≤ 1.4142 )

from excel; p( Z ≤ 1.41 ) = 0.9213

P( X₂  - X₁ > 2 ) = 1 - 0.9213

P( X₂  - X₁ > 2 ) = 0.0787

Therefore, the probability that the next ream out- lasts the present one by more than 2 days is 0.0787

b)

How many reams must be purchased if they are to last at least 60 days with probability at least 80%

total value is 4n

standard deviation is nσ

so

P(nX ≥ 60 ) = 0.80

P( nX-nμ /nσ  ≥  60-nμ/nσ) = 0.80

P( Z ≥  60-4n/n) = 0.80

1 - P( Z ≥  60-4n/n) = 0.80

P( Z < z ) = 0.20

now since z = 60-4n/n

from standard normal table

critical value of z corresponding to cumulative area of 0.20 is -0.841

so

z = - 0.841

60-4n/n =  -0.841

60 - 4n =  -0.841n

60 = -0.841n + 4n

60 = 3.159n

n = 60 / 3.159

n = 18.99 ≈ 19

Therefore, the number of reams that must be purchased is 19

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Answer will be D hope this helps ya :)

The function representing the number of bacteria present each day is

[tex]\rm f(t) = 2032(0.85)^{t}[/tex] .

What is a function ?

A function from a set X to a set Y assigns to each element of X exactly one element of Y.

The set X is called the domain of the function and the set Y is called the codomain of the function

A bacteria population starts at 2032 and decrease by 15% everyday.

a function representing the number of bacteria present each day

[tex]\rm f(t) = 2032(1-.15)^{t}[/tex]

[tex]\rm f(t) = 2032(0.85)^{t}[/tex]

Therefore [tex]\rm f(t) = 2032(0.85)^{t}[/tex] is the correct answer .

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral so opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is supplementary.

< A + <B = 180° { being opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral }

2x + 9° + 3x + 1° = 180°

5x + 10° = 180°

5x = 180° - 10°

5x = 170°

x = 170° / 5

x = 34°

Now

< A = 2x + 9°

= 2 * 34° + 9°

In the figure, m∠4=74° and m∠3=43° . Find m∠1 and m∠2 .

Answers

The measure of the angle m∠1 is 31 degree and the measure of the angle m∠2 is 106 degree.

What is an angle?

When two lines or rays converge at the same point, the measurement between them is called a "Angle."

We have:

m∠4=74° and m∠3=43°

m∠4 + m∠2 = 180

74 + m∠2 = 180

m∠2 = 106 degree

m∠3 + m∠2 + m∠1 = 180  (sum of angles in triangle is 180 degree)

43 + 106 + m∠1 = 180

m∠1 = 31 degree

Thus, the measure of the angle m∠1 is 31 degree and the measure of the angle m∠2 is 106 degree.

angle 2 you had to use the angle two total then you add it with angle three like this 106 + 43 = 149 then you do  180 - 149 = 31 will give you your angle one

That question gave you the ratio of the lengths, which is [tex]\sqrt{2} :1[/tex]. Now in geometry, a general rule about solids is that if they are similar, the ratio of their volumes is the cube of the ratio of their edges. In a cube's case, every single cube known to mankind is similar as all the edges are the same length.

So the ratio of volumes would be [tex]\sqrt{2} ^3:1^3[/tex], which can be simplified as [tex]2\sqrt{2} :1[/tex].

How to calculate ways?

We have been given that user have 19 songs and 1 CD is made from 9 songs so the number of CD's which can be made is basically the number of ways these 9 songs are arranged from 19 songs in CD's. So, the number of CD's will be 19[tex]P_{9}[/tex]=19!/(19-9)!

Answers

The number of years before the new car becomes $5700 is 11.4 years.

How long would it take the value of the car to become $5700?

Depreciation is when the value of an asset declines with the passage of time.

Number of years = (In FV / PV) / r

r = rate of depreciation FV = future value of the carPV = purchase value of the car

(IN 5700 / 20,000) / 0.11 = 11.4 years
