Answer:

6 people will take 16 days

Assumption: they all work at the same rate

8 people-------- 12 days

6 people--------> ?

<u>8x12</u>

Answer:

I think the assumption is that 6 men would take longer to build the same bridge

so 16 days is how long it would take 6 men

Step-by-step explanation:

I thought this because if it takes 8 men twelve days it's gonna probably take six men 16 days

12/8 = x/6

hope this helps

SAT verbal scores are normally distributed with a mean of 433 and a standard deviation of 90. Use the Empirical Rule to determin
laila [671]

34% of the scores lie between 433 and 523.

Solution:

Given data:

Mean (μ) = 433

Standard deviation (σ) = 90

<u>Empirical rule to determine the percent:</u>

(1) About 68% of all the values lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

(2) About 95% of all the values lie within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

(3) About 99.7% of all the values lie within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

$Z(X)=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

$Z(433)=\frac{433-\ 433}{90}=0

$Z(523)=\frac{523-\ 433}{90}=1

Z lies between o and 1.

P(433 < x < 523) = P(0 < Z < 1)

μ = 433 and μ + σ = 433 + 90 = 523

Using empirical rule, about 68% of all the values lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

i. e. ((\mu-\sigma) \ \text{to} \ (\mu+\sigma))=68\%

Here μ to μ + σ = \frac{68\%}{2} =34\%

Hence 34% of the scores lie between 433 and 523.

A large manufacturing plant uses lightbulbs with lifetimes that are normally distributed with a mean of 1200 hours and a standar
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The bulbs should be replaced each 1060.5 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 1200, \sigma = 60

How often should the bulbs be replaced so that no more than 1% burn out between replacement periods?

This is the first percentile, that is, the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.01. So X when Z = -2.325.

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

-2.325 = \frac{X - 1200}{60}

X - 1200 = -2.325*60

X = 1060.5

The bulbs should be replaced each 1060.5 days.
