A manufacturer produces a commodity where the length of the commodity has approximately normal distribution with a mean of 6.5 i

nches and standard deviation of 0.5 inches. If a sample of 46 items are chosen at random, what is the probability the sample's mean length is greater than 6.3 inches? Round answer to four decimal places.

The probablity that the sample's mean length is greate than 6.3 inches is0.8446.

Given mean of 6.5 inches,standard deviation of 0.5 inches and sample size of 46.

We have to calculate the probability that the sample's mean length is greater than 6.3 inches is 0.8446.

Probability is the likeliness of happening an event. It lies between 0 and 1.

Probability is the number of items divided by the total number of items.

We have to use z statistic in this question because the sample size is greater than 30.

μ=6.5

σ=0.5

n=46

z=X-μ/σ

where μ is mean and

σ is standard deviation.

First we have to find the p value from 6.3 to 6.5 and then we have to add 0.5 to it to find the required probability.

z=6.3-6.5/0.5

=-0.2/0.5

=-0.4

p value from z table is 0.3446

Probability that the mean length is greater than 6.3inches is 0.3446+0.5=0.8446.

Hence the probability that the mean length is greater than 6.3 inches is 0.8446.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points

sesenic [268]

Answer:

$y+5=2(x-3)$ or $y+9=2(x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the line

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have the ordered pairs

(3,-5) and (1,-9)

substitute the values

$m=\frac{-9+5}{1-3}$

$m=\frac{-4}{-2}$

$m=2$

step 2

Find the equation in point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

Analyze two cases

<em>First case</em>

we have

$m=2$

$point\ (3,-5)$

substitute

$y+5=2(x-3)$

<em>Second case</em>

we have

$m=2$

$point\ (1,-9)$

substitute

$y+9=2(x-1)$

Note: The equation of the line in point slope form varies according to the point you choose, in contrast to the slope-intercept form

A cylindrical basket has a volume of 15 cubic feet. If the height of the basket is 1.5 feet, what is the area of the base of the

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

10 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the volume of a uniform cylinder may be defined by the formula:

Volume = Base Area x Height

In our case we are given

Volume = 15 ft³ and Base Area = 1.5 ft

Substituting these known values into the formula gives:

Volume = Base Area x Height

15 = Base Area x 1.5

Base Area = 15 / 1.5

Base Area = 10 ft²

What is the volume of the right triangular prism shown?

ollegr [7]

<u>Given</u>:

The sides of the base of the triangle are 8, 15 and 17.

The height of the prism is 15 units.

We need to determine the volume of the right triangular prism.

<u>Area of the base of the triangle:</u>

The area of the base of the triangle can be determined using the Heron's formula.

$S=\frac{a+b+c}{2}$

Substituting a = 8, b = 15 and c = 17. Thus, we have;

$S=\frac{8+15+17}{2}$

$S=\frac{40}{2}=20$

Using Heron's formula, we have;

$Area = \sqrt{S(S-a)(S-b)(S-c)}$

$Area = \sqrt{20(20-8)(20-15)(20-17)}$

$Area = \sqrt{20(12)(5)(3)}$

$Area = \sqrt{3600}$

$Area = 36$

Thus, the area of the base of the right triangular prism is 36 square units.

<u>Volume of the right triangular prism:</u>

The volume of the right triangular prism can be determined using the formula,

$V=\frac{1}{2}A_b h$

where $A_b$ is the area of the base of the prism and h is the height of the prism.

Substituting the values, we have;

$V=\frac{1}{2}(60\times 15)$

$V=450$

Thus, the volume of the right triangular prism is 450 cubic units.

How do I find the Axis of Symmetry for a parabola

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Explanation given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to put the parabola in the form $ax^2+bx+c$ , which is the <em>standard form of a parabola</em>

<em />

<u>Note:</u> a is the coefficient before x^2 term, b is the coefficient before x term, and c is the independent constant term

The axis of symmetry divides the parabola symmetrically. The axis of symmetry has the equation $x=-\frac{b}{2a}$

Where <em><u>a and b are the respective values shown above</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

So, that is how you get the axis of symmetry of any parabola.
