Mean = 0.497 in, SD = 0.003 in
Required diameter ranges between 0.496 in and 0.504 in
Anything other diameter obtained is not acceptable.
That is;
P(x<0.496) and P(x>0.504) are not acceptable.
Now,
P(x<0.496) = P(Z< (0.496-0.497)/0.003)) = P(Z<-0.33)
From Z tables, P(Z<-0.33) = 0.3707
Similarly,
P(x>0.504) = P(Z> (0.504-0.497)/0.003)) = P(Z>2.33)
From Z tables, P(Z>2.33) = 1-0.9901 = 0.0099
Therefore, unacceptable proportion = P(x<0.496)+P(x>0.504) = 0.3707+0.0099 = 0.3806 or 38.06%
Part A: The slope of f(x) is three times as great as the slope of g(x).
Part B: The y-intercept of g(x) is 12 larger than the y-intercept of f(x).
In order to find these two answers, you need to find a model for f(x). You can do that by first finding the slope. The formula is below.
slope (m) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
In this equation (x1, y1) is the first point and (x2, y2) is a second point. For this purpose, we'll pick (1, 0) and (0, -6)
slope (m) = (-6 - 0)/(0 - 1)
m = -6/-1
m = 6
Now we know that the slope is 6, which is 3 times as great as the first slope. Now to find the y-intercept, we can use either point and the slope in slope intercept form.
y = mx + b
0 = 6(1) + b
0 = 6 + b
-6 = b
So we know the y-intercept is -6, which is 12 less than the y-intercept of g(x).
