Suppose a batch of metal shafts produced in a manufacturing company have a variance of 9 and a mean diameter of 207 inches. If 7

2 shafts are sampled at random from the batch, what is the probability that the mean diameter of the sample shafts would differ from the population mean by greater than 0.3 inches

The probability that the mean diameter of the sample shafts would differ from the population mean by greater than 0.3 inches is 39.54%.

Given mean diameter of 207, variance=9, sample size of 72.

We have to calculate the probability that the mean diameter of the sample shafts would differ from the population mean by greater than 0.3 inches.

The sample mean may be greater than or less than from population mean than 0.3 inches.

Either greater than 207+0.3=207.3 inches,

Smaller =207-0.3=206.7

Since the normal distribution is symmetric these probabilities are equal. So we find one of them and multiply by 2.

Probability of being less than 206.7

P value of z when X=206.7. So

Z=(X-μ)/s

=(206.7-207)/0.35

=-0.3/0.35

=-0.857

p value =0.1977

Probability of differing from population mean greater than 0.3 inches=2*0.1977

=0.3954

=39.54%

Hence the probability that the mean diameter of the sample shafts would differ from the population mean  by greater than 0.3 inches is 39.54%.

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (0, 4) and (-8, -1)?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points :

(0, 4) and (-8, -1)

x1 = 0 ; y1 = 4

x2 = - 8 ; y2 = - 1

Slope, m = rise / run

Rise = y2 - y1 = - 1 - 4 = - 5

Rise = x2 - x1 = - 8 - 0 = - 8

The slope, m = - 5 / - 8

Slope, m = 0.625

Analyze the histogram comparing the frequencies shown for the annual temperatures of Kentucky and iliinois. wich statement is tr
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

C-Both distributions are skewed right

Step-by-step explanation:

Skewness measure frequency distribution of histogram. The histogram is skewed in a way that its right side tail is greater than its left side tail. They are skewed to right. The histogram are positively skewed which means their most of data falls to right side. The mean of positively skewed histogram is greater than its median.

<em>Independent variables are variables of a quantity that are not affected by any conditions. </em>

<em>Dependent variables are variables  of a quantity that change if conditions relative to that variable changes.</em>

For example, we generally we take x as independent variable by x variable and dependent variable by y variable.

To find the rate of change we get two values of independent variable (x's) and two values of dependent variables (y's) to get two coordinates in form of

(x,1,y1) and (x2,y2).

<h3>And we can find the rate of change by applying slope formula</h3>

m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.

150 students were surveyed on how many text messages to send in a date for different devices. let X represent the number of stud
kakasveta [241]

Given that the total number of students that sent messages = 150 students

a) To obtain the equation to represent the number of students who send text messages, we will sum up the variables in the Venn diagram and equate it to 150.

\begin{gathered} 75+x+3x+x=150 \\ x+3x+x=150-75 \\ 5x=75 \end{gathered}

Hence, the equation is

5x=75

b) Solving for x

\begin{gathered} 5x=75 \\ x=\frac{75}{5}=15 \\ \therefore x=15 \end{gathered}

Therefore, x = 15.

c) The total number of student that uses cell phone = 75 + x = 75 + 15= 90students

The total number of students that sent messages = 150students

The formula for probability is,

\text{Probability = }\frac{\text{Number of students that uses cell phone}}{\text{Total number of students}}

Hence,

P(\text{Number of students that uses cell phone)}=\frac{90}{150}=\frac{3}{5}

Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen student uses their cell phone to send text messages ​is 3/5.
