.) Suppose college students produce 650 pounds of solid waste each year, on average. Assume that the distribution of waste per college student is normal with a mean of 650 pounds and a standard deviation of 20 pounds. What is the probability that a randomly selected student produces either less than 620 or more than 700 pounds of solid waste

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.073 = 7.3% probability that a randomly selected student produces either less than 620 or more than 700 pounds of solid waste

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 650 pounds and a standard deviation of 20 pounds.

This means that [tex]\mu = 650, \sigma = 20[/tex]

What is the probability that a randomly selected student produces either less than 620 or more than 700 pounds of solid waste?

Less than 620:

pvalue of Z when X = 620. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{620 - 650}{20}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.5[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0668

More than 700:

1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 700. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{700 - 650}{20}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.5[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9938

1 - 0.9938 = 0.0062

Total:

0.0668 + 0.0062 = 0.073

0.073 = 7.3% probability that a randomly selected student produces either less than 620 or more than 700 pounds of solid waste

Answer:

B. {(x, y): y = x²}

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a graph where every input (x-value) has one and only one output (y-value). In other words if the value for x=2, there will only be one corresponding point for y. For the function in B, that y-value would be 4. Both A and D, solve for y, means taking the square root which leaves a +/- x-value. C is absolute value of y, which means the positive and negative values for y would have the same point. Only choice B has x-values corresponding to a singular y-value. If you can remember what these graphs look like you can test if they are functions based on the vertical line test.

As a punishment for something naughty that we did, my little brother and I have to whitewash both sides of a fence. We start at the same time, and we each work at a constant rate.

If we each whitewash one side, I'll finish in $2$ hours and my brother will finish in $3$ hours. But I'm a nice kid, so after I finish my side, I go around to the other side and help my brother finish his side. From the time I start helping him, how many minutes does it take us to finish the job?

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done in 1 Hr = 1/2

Brother Finish work in 3 Hrs Work done in 1 hr = 1/3

Let Say both Complete Work in T hrs as it has to be painted on both sides

Then T (1/2+1/3) = 2

=> T × 5/6 = 2

=> T = 2 Hr 24 Mins

=> T = 12/5 I will Take 2 Hrs to finish my work & 24 Mins to finish after start Helping

The thickness of a flange on an aircraft component is uniformly distributed between 0.95 and 1.05 millimeters. (a) Determine the proportion of flanges that exceeds 1.00 millimeters. Enter your answer in accordance to the item a) of the question statement (b) What thickness is exceeded by 90% of the flanges

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.5 = 50% of flanges exceed 1 millimeter.

b) A thickness of 0.96 millimeters is exceeded by 90% of the flanges

Step-by-step explanation:

A distribution is called uniform if each outcome has the same probability of happening.

The uniform distributon has two bounds, a and b, and the probability of finding a value higher than x is given by:

[tex]P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}[/tex]

The thickness of a flange on an aircraft component is uniformly distributed between 0.95 and 1.05 millimeters.

This means that [tex]a = 0.95, b = 1.05[/tex]

(a) Determine the proportion of flanges that exceeds 1.00 millimeters.

[tex]P(X > 1) = \frac{1.05 - 1}{1.05 - 0.95} = \frac{0.05}{0.1} = 0.5[/tex]

0.5 = 50% of flanges exceed 1 millimeter.

(b) What thickness is exceeded by 90% of the flanges?

This is x for which:

[tex]P(X > x) = 0.9[/tex]

So

[tex]\frac{1.05 - x}{1.05 - 0.95} = 0.9[/tex]

[tex]1.05 - x = 0.9*0.1[/tex]

[tex]x = 1.05 - 0.9*0.1[/tex]

[tex]x = 0.96[/tex]

A thickness of 0.96 millimeters is exceeded by 90% of the flanges

Answers

Answer:

y = -3x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation to represent the given table can be written in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.

m = slope = ∆y/∆x

Using the coordinates of any two pairs of values from the table, (0, -10) and (1, -13):

Slope (m) = [(-13 - (-10)]/[1 - 0] = -3/1

Slope (m) = -3

b = y-intercept = the value of y when x is 0 = -10

To write the equation, substitute m = -3 and b = -10 into y = mx + b.

Thus:

y = -3x + (-10)

y = -3x - 10

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]468 + 108x + 6x^{2} \\6x^{2} +108x + 468[/tex]

Greatest common factor of 6, 108, and 486:

6 x 1 = 6

6 x 18 = 108

6 x 81 = 486

GCF: 6

so:

[tex]6(x^{2} +18x +81)[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} +18x + 81[/tex]

factors to:

(x + 9) (x + 9)

because:

9 x 9 = 81

9 + 9 = 18

So:

It factors completely too:

6(x + 9) (x + 9)

or
