Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 4.9 millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 1.2 mm. For a randomly found shard, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(a) the thickness is less than 3.0 mm
(b) the thickness is more than 7.0 mm
(c) the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

P(X<3.0) = 0.057

b) The probability that the thickness is less than 7.0 mm

P(X>7) = 0.0401

c) The probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm

P( 3 < x <  7)= 0.9029

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given mean of the Population (μ)  = 4.9 mm

Standard deviation of the Population(σ) = 1.2 mm

a)

Let 'X' be the random variable in normal distribution

[tex]Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D} = \frac{3.0-4.9}{1.2} = -1.583[/tex]

The probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

[tex]P(X<3.0) = P(Z < -1.583) = 1 - P( Z>1.583)[/tex]

                                               =  1 - ( 0.5 + A(1.583)

                                              = 0.5 - A(1.583)

                                             = 0.5 - 0.4430

                                             = 0.057

The probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

P(X<3.0) = 0.057

b)

Let 'X' be the random variable in normal distribution

[tex]Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D} = \frac{7.0-4.9}{1.2} = 1.75[/tex]

The probability that the thickness is less than 7.0 mm

[tex]P(X>7.0) = P(Z >1.75) = 0.5 - A(1.75)[/tex]

                                          = 0.5 - 0.4599   ( from normal table )

                                          = 0.0401

The probability that the thickness is less than 7.0 mm

P(X>7) = 0.0401

c)

Let 'X' be the random variable in normal distribution

[tex]Z_{1} = \frac{x_{1} -mean}{S.D} = \frac{3.0-4.9}{1.2} = -1.583[/tex]  

[tex]Z_{2} = \frac{x_{2} -mean}{S.D} = \frac{7.0-4.9}{1.2} = 1.75[/tex]

The probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm

P( 3 < x <  7) =  P( - 1.583 < X < 1.75 )

                   =   A(  1.75 ) + A( -1.583)

                  =     A(1.75)+A(1.583)

                 = 0.4599 + 0.4430

                = 0.9029  

The probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm

P( 3 < x <  7)= 0.9029

Use the value 3.14 for, and round your answer to the nearest minute. Do not round any intermediate computations.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]8\:\mathrm{minutes}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given as:

[tex]r^2\cdot\pi\cdot h[/tex]

Since the diameter is [tex]2.2[/tex], the radius is [tex]\frac{2.2}{2}=1.1[/tex].

Therefore, the volume of this cylinder is:

[tex]1.1^2\cdot 3.14\cdot 4=15.1976\:\mathrm{ft^3}[/tex], using [tex]\pi=3.14[/tex] as requested in the problem.

Since the tank is emptied at a constant rate of [tex]1.5\:\mathrm{ft^3\:per\:minute}[/tex], it will take

[tex]\frac{15.1976}{1.5}=7.5988=\fbox{$8\:\mathrm{minutes}$}[/tex] to empty the tank.

Is x= 1/2 a solution of the equation 3(x+1)=3x+3

Answers

Answer:

Yes, x = 1/2 is a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

To see if it is a solution, plug it into the equation:

3(x + 1) = 3x + 3

3(0.5 + 1) = 3(0.5) + 3

3(1.5) = 1.5 + 3

4.5 = 4.5

Since this is true, x = 1/2 is a solution of the equation.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 20 yellow marbles,

there must be 32 - 20 = 12 red marbles.

P(Red marble)

= 12/32

= 0.375.

Answer:

The probability is 12/32

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 12 red marbles and 20 yellow marbles, then there will be a 12/32 chance that you pick a red marble

This is because out of 32 marbles, you have 12 red marbles that you could pick, which gives you a 12/32 chance that you will pick a red marble. This can also be said as a 37.5% chance.

Answer:

VX = 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Since VX is the midsegment, based on the midsegment theorem we would have:

VX = ½(UY)

VX = s - 37

UY = s

Plug in the values

s - 37 = ½(s)

Multiply both sides by 2

2(s - 37) = s

2s - 74 = s

Collect like terms

2s - s = 74

s = 74

VX = s - 37

Plug in the value of s

VX = 74 - 37 = 37

A builder needs to cover 10 square yards of floor with tile. red tile costs $60 per square yard, and white tole costs $40 per square yard. if the builder spends exactly $480 on tile, how much of the floor will be overed with RED tile?

White tile costs [tex]\$40[/tex] per square yards

Total money spent=[tex]\$480[/tex] on tiles

Suppose red tiles cover an area of [tex]x[/tex] square yards

Can someone help me find x ?

Answers

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the keg rule to find x. The keg rule is given as:

Hypotenuse / leg = leg / part of the hypotenuse directly under the leg

Hypotenuse = 25

Leg = x

Part of the hypotenuse directly under the leg = 25 - 16 = 9

Plug in the values

25/x = x/9

Cross multiply

x*x = 25*9

x² = 225

x = √225

x = 15

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that x and y are functions of time t such that x and y is a constant. So, we can write the following equation:

[tex]x(t)+y(t)=k,\text{ where $k$ is some constant}[/tex]

The rate of change of x and the rate of change of y with respect to time t is simply dx/dt and dy/dt, respectively. So, we will differentiate both sides with respect to t:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt}\Big[x(t)+y(t)\Big]=\frac{d}{dt}[k][/tex]

Remember that the derivative of a constant is always 0. Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{dy}{dt}=0[/tex]

And by subtracting dy/dt from both sides, we acquire:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dx}{dt}=-\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

Hence, our answer is B.

Answer:

Let x and y be functions of time t such that the sum of x and y is constant.

Assume that x has a normal distribution with the specified mean and standard deviation. Find the indicated probability. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
μ = 40; σ = 16
P(50 ≤ x ≤ 70) =______.

Answers

Answer:

0.2356

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

μ = 40; σ = 16

P(50 ≤ x ≤ 70) :

Using the Zscore formula :

(x - μ) / σ

P((50 - 40) / 16 ≤ Z ≤ (70 - 40) / 16)

P(50 ≤ x ≤ 70) = P(0.625 ≤ Z ≤ 1.875)

Using the Z probability calculator :

P(Z ≤ 1.875) - P(Z ≤ 0.625) -

0.9696 - 0.73401

= 0.23559

= 0.2356
