Suppose the weights of apples are normally distributed with a mean of 85 grams and a standard deviation of 8 grams. The weights of oranges are also normally distributed with a mean of 131 grams and a standard deviation of 20 grams. Amy has an apple that weighs 90 grams and an orange that weighs 155 grams.

Required:
a. Find the probability a randomly chosen apple exceeds 100 g in weight.
b. What weight do 80% of the apples exceed?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.0304 = 3.04% probability a randomly chosen apple exceeds 100 g in weight.

b) The weight that 80% of the apples exceed is of 78.28g.

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.

Weights of apples are normally distributed with a mean of 85 grams and a standard deviation of 8 grams.

This means that [tex]\mu = 85, \sigma = 8[/tex]

a. Find the probability a randomly chosen apple exceeds 100 g in weight.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 100. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{100 - 85}{8}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.875[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.875[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9697

1 - 0.9696 = 0.0304

0.0304 = 3.04% probability a randomly chosen apple exceeds 100 g in weight.

b. What weight do 80% of the apples exceed?

This is the 100 - 80 = 20th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.2, so X when Z = -0.84.

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

[tex]-0.84 = \frac{X- 85}{8}[/tex]

[tex]X - 85 = -0.84*8[/tex]

[tex]X = 78.28[/tex]

The weight that 80% of the apples exceed is of 78.28g.

David has available 240 yards of fencing and wishes to enclose a rectangular area.
(a) Express the area A of the rectangle as a function of the width W of the rectangle.
(b) For what value of W is the area largest?
(c) What is the maximum area?

Answers

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2*width + 2*length

So

240 = 2w + 2l

120 = w + l

l = 120 - w

(a) Area = w*l

Substituting for l:

A = w(120 - w)

A = 120w - w^2

(b)

Finding the derivative:

A = 120w - w^2

A' = 120 - 2w

For a maximum area A' = 0, so:

120 - 2w = 0

2w = 120

w = 60 yards for maximum area.

(c)

Maximum area

= 120*60 - 60^2

= 3600 yd^2.

Shen started to run on a treadmill after setting its timer for 93 minutes. The display says that he has finished 69% of his run. How many minutes have gone by?
Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

64.2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Shen set timer to run=93 minutes

He has finished his run=69%

We have to find total number of minutes have gone by.

69% of 93

=[tex]\frac{69}{100}\times 93[/tex]

By using

a%[tex]=\frac{a}{100}[/tex]

69% of 93=[tex]\frac{6417}{100}[/tex]

69% of 93=64.17 min

69% of 93[tex]\approx 64.2min[/tex]

Hence, 64.2 minutes have gone by.

Required:
What rate of interest is required so that $1000 will yield $1900 after 5 years if the interest rate is compounded monthly?

Answers

Answer:

12.906%/year

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Principal= $1000

Final Amount= $1900

Time= 5 years

The compound interest formula is given as

A= P(1+ r/n)^nt

Solving for rate r as a decimal

r = n[(A/P)1/nt - 1]

r = 12 × [(1,900.00/1,000.00)1/(12)(5) - 1]

r = 0.12906

Then convert r to R as a percentage

R = r * 100

R = 0.12906 * 100

R = 12.906%/year

Question 20
A transformer has 500 turns in its primary coil and 200 in the secondary coil.
a) If an AC voltage of 220 V and frequency 50 Hz is established in the primary coil, find the voltage
and the frequency induced in the secondary coil. (2)​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

88 V50 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

The secondary voltage is proportional to the primary voltage. The constant of proportionality is the ratio of secondary turns to primary turns.

The secondary voltage is ...

  (200/500)(220 V) = 88 V

__

A transformer does not change the frequency.* The voltage in the secondary coil is still 50 Hz.

_____

* Most transformers are designed to operate as linear devices. It is possible to design a transformer (with special core material) that operates non-linearly, and/or that is "tuned" to a frequency other than the one exciting the primary. That is, the secondary voltage may be some harmonic of the primary voltage. This would be a relatively unusual application of a transformer, beyond the apparent scope of the question here.

In the following distribution, P(X<2) = 0.35, and expected value is 1.9

X 0 1 2 3 4
P(X) 0.10 A 0.35 B C

Required:
a. Use the fact that P(X< 2) = 0.35 to find the value of A.
b. Determine the value of B.
c. Determine the value of C.

Answers

Solution :

We have :

X            0     1          2    3   4

P(X)     0.10   A    0.35   B    C

a). P(X < 2) = 0.35

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.35

⇒ 0.10 + A = 0.35

⇒ A = 0.25

So the value of A is 0.25

b). The total probability = 1

So ,

0.10 + A + 0.35 + B + C = 1

0.10 + 0.25 + 0.35 + B + C = 1

B + C  = 1 - 0.70

B + C  = 0.30  ......(i)

We have the expected value = 1.9

So, [tex]$\sum X P(X) = 19$[/tex]     for x  = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

⇒ (0 x 0.10) + (1 x 0.25) + (2 x 0.35) + (3 x B) + (4 x C) = 1.9

⇒ 0 + 0.25 + 0.70 + 3B + 4C = 1.9

⇒ 3B + 4C = 1.9 - 0.95

⇒ 3B + 4C = 0.95   ...................(ii)

From (i), we take the value of B = 0.30 - C and substitute it in the equation (i), we get,

⇒ 3( 0.30 - C) + 4C = 0.95

⇒ 0.90 - 3C + 4C = 0.95

C = 0.95 - 0.90

       = 0.05

Now substituting the value of C = 0.05 in (ii), we get,

⇒ B = 0.05 = 0.30

⇒ B = 0.25

c). The value of C is 0.05

The graph shows us that it is about 1 more day than 18, so the only reasonable answer here is 22.
