An office manager has received a report from a consultant that includes a section on equipment replacement. the report indicates

that scanners have a service life that is normally distributed with a mean of 41 months and a standard deviation of 4 months. on the basis of this information, determine the percentage of scanners that can be expected to fail between 40 and 45 months of service.

Answer:

a) 22.663%

b) 44%

c) 38.3%

Explanation:

An office manager has received a report from a consultant that includes a section on equipment replacement. The report indicates that scanners have a service life that is normally distributed with a mean of 41 months and a standard deviation of 4 months. On the basis of this information, determine the percentage of scanners that can be expected to fail in the following time periods:

We solve the above question using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean = 41 months

σ is the population standard deviation = 4 months

a. Before 38 months of service

Before in z score score means less than 38 months

Hence,

z = 38 - 41/4

z = -0.75

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<38) = 0.22663

Converting to percentage = 0.22663 × 100

= 22.663%

b. Between 40 and 45 months of service

For x = 40 months

z = 40 - 41/4

z = -0.2

Probaility value from Z-Table:

P(x =40) = 0.40129

For x = 45

z = 45 - 41/4

z = 1

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 45) = 0.84134

Between 40 and 45 months of service

= 0.84134 - 0.40129

= 0.44005

Converting to Percentage

= 0.44005 × 100

= 44.005%

= 44%

c. Wihin ± 2 months of the mean life

+ 2 months = 41 months + 2 months

= 43 month

- 2 months = 41 months - 2 months

= 39 months

For x = 43

z = 43 - 41 /4

z = 0.5

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x = 43) = 0.69146

For x = 39

z = 39 - 41/4

z = -2/4

z = -0.5

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 39) = 0.30854

Within ± 2 months of the mean life

= 0.69146 - 0.30854

= 0.38292

= 38.3%

If we inscribe a circle such that it is touching all six corners of a regular hexagon of side 10 inches, what is the area of the
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

\left(100\pi - 150\sqrt{3}\right) square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Area of the Inscribed Hexagon</h3>

Refer to the first diagram attached. This inscribed regular hexagon can be split into six equilateral triangles. The length of each side of these triangle will be 10 inches (same as the length of each side of the regular hexagon.)

Refer to the second attachment for one of these equilateral triangles.

Let segment \sf CH be a height on side \sf AB. Since this triangle is equilateral, the size of each internal angle will be \sf 60^\circ. The length of segment

\displaystyle 10\, \sin\left(60^\circ\right) = 10 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 5\sqrt{3}.

The area (in square inches) of this equilateral triangle will be:

\begin{aligned}&\frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times\text{Height} \\ &= \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 5\sqrt{3}= 25\sqrt{3} \end{aligned}.

Note that the inscribed hexagon in this question is made up of six equilateral triangles like this one. Therefore, the area (in square inches) of this hexagon will be:

\displaystyle 6 \times 25\sqrt{3} = 150\sqrt{3}.

<h3>Area of of the circle that is not covered</h3>

Refer to the first diagram. The length of each side of these equilateral triangles is the same as the radius of the circle. Since the length of one such side is 10 inches, the radius of this circle will also be 10 inches.

The area (in square inches) of a circle of radius 10 inches is:

\pi \times (\text{radius})^2 = \pi \times 10^2 = 100\pi.

The area (in square inches) of the circle that the hexagon did not cover would be:

\begin{aligned}&\text{Area of circle} - \text{Area of hexagon} \\ &= 100\pi - 150\sqrt{3}\end{aligned}.

A bottling company uses a filling machine to fill plastic bottles with cola. The bottles are supposed to contain 300 milliliters
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

e. 0.0072

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a bottling company uses a filling machine to fill plastic bottles with cola. And the contents vary according to a Normal distribution with Mean, μ = 298 ml and Standard deviation, σ = 3 ml .

 Let    Z = \frac{Xbar - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)  where, Xbar = mean contents of six randomly

                                                                     selected bottles

                                                          n = sample size i.e. 6    

So, Probability that the mean contents of six randomly selected bottles is less than 295 ml is given by, P(Xbar < 295)

 P(Xbar < 295) = P( \frac{Xbar - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{295 - 298}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{6} } } ) = P(Z < -2.45) = P(Z > 2.45)

Now, using z% score table we find that P(Z > 2.45) = 0.00715 ≈ 0.0072 .

Therefore, option e is correct .

What is the slope of the line through (3,2) and (-3,4)?
NISA [10]

Answer:

slope = - \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 4 )

m = \frac{4-2}{-3-3} = \frac{2}{-6} = - \frac{1}{3}

lord [1]

Answer:

  • r(0) = <0, 100> . . . . . . . .meters
  • r'(0) = <7.071, 7.071> . . . . meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Initial Position</u>

The problem statement tells us we're measuring position from the ground at the base of the building where the projectile was launched. The initial horizontal position is presumed to be zero. The initial vertical position is said to be 100 meters from the ground, so (in meters) ...

  r(0) = <0, 100>

<u>Initial Velocity</u>

The velocity vector resolves into components in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. For angle α from the horizontal, the horizontal component of velocity is v₁·cos(α), and the vertical component is v₁·sin(α). For v₁ = 10 m/s and α = π/4, the initial velocity vector (in m/s) is ...

  r'(0) = <10·cos(π/4), 10·sin(π/4)>

  r'(0) ≈ <7.071, 7.071>
