The inside diameter of a randomly selected piston ring is a random variable with mean value 13 cm and standard deviation 0.08 cm
Zina [12379]

Answer:

(a) P(12.99 ≤ X ≤ 13.01) = 0.3840

(b) P(X ≥ 13.01) = 0.3075

Step-by-step explanation:

To address this problem, one needs to grasp the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems involving normally distributed samples are resolved through the application of the z-score formula.

In a data set with a mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score for a measurement X is defined as:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score indicates how many standard deviations the measurement deviates from the mean. After determining the Z-score, one can consult the z-score table to find the relevant p-value for that score. This p-value represents the probability that the measure's value is less than X, which indicates the percentile of X. By subtracting this p-value from 1, we obtain the likelihood that the measure's value exceeds X.

Central Limit Theorem

According to the Central Limit Theorem, for a normally distributed random variable X with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated by a normal distribution, characterized by mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

The Central Limit Theorem can also be applicable to a skewed variable, provided that n is 30 or more.

In this case, we are given that:

\mu = 13, \sigma = 0.08

(a) Compute P(12.99 ≤ X ≤ 13.01) when n = 16.

In this scenario, we find n = 16, s = \frac{0.08}{\sqrt{16}} = 0.02

This probability equates to the p-value of Z at X = 13.01 minus the p-value of Z at X = 12.99.

X = 13.01

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

According to the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{13.01 - 13}{0.02}

Z = 0.5

has a p-value of 0.6915

Z = 0.5

X = 12.99

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{12.99 - 13}{0.02}

Z = -0.5

Z = -0.5 yields a p-value of 0.3075

0.6915 - 0.3075 = 0.3840

P(12.99 ≤ X ≤ 13.01) = 0.3840

(b) What is the probability that the sample mean diameter is greater than 13.01 when n = 25?

P(X ≥ 13.01) =

This is obtained by subtracting the p-value of Z when X = 13.01 from 1. Hence

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{13.01 - 13}{0.02}

Z = 0.5

Z = 0.5 has a p-value of 0.6915

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3075

P(X ≥ 13.01) = 0.3075

If (a^3+27)=(a+3)(a^2+ma+9) then m equals
Inessa [12570]

Answer:

m = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a³ + 27 can be recognized as a sum of cubes, which factors generally as

a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²). Therefore:

a³ + 27

= a³ + 3³

= (a + 3)(a² - 3a + 9).

By comparing a² - 3a + 9 to a² + ma + 9, we find that

m = - 3.

The distribution of the amount of money spent by students for textbooks in a semester is approximately normal in shape with a me
babunello [11817]

The last part of the question is asking;

What was the total amount spent by all (99.7%) students on textbooks in a semester?

Response:

almost all (99.7%) of the students spent between $165 and $315 on textbooks in a semester.

Stepwise clarification:

The standard deviation rule informs that for normally distributed data, approximately 99.7% of observations fall within three standard deviations from the mean.

In this case, we have the given mean as 240, and standard deviation as 25

Thus, calculating three standard deviations below the mean: Mean - 3(standard deviation)

equals 240 - (3 × 25)

yielding 240 - 75 = 165

Now, for three standard deviations above the mean: Mean + 3 (standard deviation) = 240 + (3 × 25)

equals 240 + 75 = 315

Therefore, nearly all (99.7%) of the students spent between $165 and $315 on textbooks in a semester.

Robert was able to travel 292.0 miles in 4.000 hours and used 38 liters of gasoline. What was robert's speed in feet per second?
zzz [12365]

Robert covered a distance of 292 miles.

He took 4 hours to complete this journey.

Next, let's convert miles to feet.

1 mile equals 5280 feet.

Thus, 292 miles in feet equals 292 * 5280 = 1541760 feet.

Now, converting 4 hours into seconds.

1 hour translates to 3600 seconds.

Therefore, 4 hours equals 3600 * 4 = 14400 seconds.

The question asks for speed in feet per second.

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Thus,

\frac{1541760}{14400}

is 107.067 feet per second.

What algebraic expression represents GK, if GK =37, what are GH and JK. GJ=4x+2 and HK=6x-1
Inessa [12570]
The outcome is "GK=37, GH=14, and JK=19".

The problem references a missing attachment file, thus please find it attached.

The provided values are:

GJ=4x+2

HK=6x-1

Given GK =37

Need to calculate:

HJ=?

From GK: GK = GJ+JK yields GJ+(HK-HJ)

= 4x+2+((6x-1)-x) yields

9x+1...(a)Substituting (a) into the equation gives: 9(4)+1 yields 37 solves to x=4... for answer (b) and (c). Substituting x=4 yields:

GH=14 and JK=19.
