Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) warn the driver when the tire pressure of the vehicle is 28% below the target pressure.
Zina [12379]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The monitoring system alerts the driver when the vehicle's tire pressure drops to 28% below the set target pressure.

Let X be: the target tire pressure for a particular vehicle (measured in pounds per square inch)

a)

X= 28 psi

When the monitoring device alerts at a pressure of 28% below the designated target: X-0.28X

Initially, calculate 28% of 28 psi.

28*0.28= 7.84

Next, subtract this 28% calculation from the target pressure:

28 - 7.84= 20.16

The TPMS will activate its warning at 20.16 psi.

b)

Assuming X~N(μ;σ²)

μ= 28 psi (as the average indicates accurate targeting, this represents the expected tire pressure)

σ= 3 psi

P(X≤20.16)

The standard normal distribution is available in tables. To convert any random variable X with a normal distribution, one subtracts its mean and divides by the standard deviation.

To compute the desired probabilities, the variable value undergoes transformation to fit the standard normal distribution Z, after which standard normal tables are referenced to find probabilities.

Z= (X-μ)/σ= (20.16-28)/3= -2.61

Now locate the probability corresponding to the Z value using the Z-table. Given the negative result, refer to the left entry; in the first column, find the integer and first decimal for -2.6- and in the first row locate the second decimal for -.-1

The probability link for -2.61 is:

P(Z≤-2.61)= 0.005

c)

The task is to determine the likelihood of encountering a tire at random within the recommended inflation range, expressed as:

P(30≤X≤26)= P(X≤30)-P(X≤26)

Determine both Z values:

Z= (30-28)/3= 0.67

Z= (26-28)/3= -0.67

P(Z≤0.67)-P(Z≤-0.67)= 0.749 - 0.251= 0.498

<pThe calculated probability of a tire being inflated within the suggested range is 0.498.

I hope this information is useful!

John is filling a bathtub that is 18 inches deep. He notices it takes 2 mins. To fill the tub 3 inches of water. He estimates it
Svet_ta [12734]

The bathtub's depth measures 18 inches

It takes 2 minutes to fill 3 inches of the bathtub

Subsequently

The remaining depth needed for filling with water = (18-3) inches

                                                                        = 15 inches

The time needed to fill the remaining 15 inches of the bathtub = (15*2)/3 minutes

                                                                      = 30/3 minutes

                                                                      = 10 minutes

Therefore, John is right in believing that it will require an additional 10 minutes to fill the tub to the brim at the same rate.

Hope this clarifies things!

How many weeks of flea treatment would Jim’s dog get from one package if each treatment only lasted 3 weeks In a normal year whe
Inessa [12570]

Solution

The number of weeks in a year is 52 weeks

In a typical year, where each flea treatment lasts 4 weeks, Jim's dog would receive

\frac{52}{4} =13 times

Conversely, during especially bad flea years, when treatments only last for 3 weeks, Jim's dog would need

So in a year, Jim's dog would need 17- 13 =4 extra treatments.

4 treatments at 3 weeks each total 4×3 =12 weeks of additional treatment

Find the annual rate of growth (interest rate) on an account that was worth $200 in 1975 and $415.79 in 1990
tester [12383]
To find the percent change over time, use the following formula: PR = Percent Rate, VPresent = Present or Future Value, VPast = Past or Present Value. The annual percentage growth rate is calculated by dividing the percent growth by N, which is the number of years. The calculation (415.79 - 200) / 200 * 100 results in 107.89. The annual percentage growth rate is then 107.89 divided by 15, which equals 7.193.
