In a process that manufactures bearings, 90% of the bearings meet a thickness specification. A shipment contains 500 bearings. A

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

(a) 0.94

(b) 0.20

(c) 90.53%

Step-by-step explanation:

From a population (Bernoulli population), 90% of the bearings meet a thickness specification, let $p_1$ be the probability that a bearing meets the specification.

So, $p_1=0.9$

Sample size, $n_1=500$ , is large.

Let X represent the number of acceptable bearing.

Convert this to a normal distribution,

Mean: $\mu_1=n_1p_1=500\times0.9=450$

Variance: $\sigma_1^2=n_1p_1(1-p_1)=500\times0.9\times0.1=45$

$\Rightarrow \sigma_1 =\sqrt{45}=6.71$

(a) A shipment is acceptable if at least 440 of the 500 bearings meet the specification.

So, $X\geq 440.$

Here, 440 is included, so, by using the continuity correction, take x=439.5 to compute z score for the normal distribution.

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{339.5-450}{6.71}=-1.56$ .

So, the probability that a given shipment is acceptable is

$P(z\geq-1.56)=\int_{-1.56}^{\infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{\frac{-z^2}{2}}=0.94062$

Hence, the probability that a given shipment is acceptable is 0.94.

(b) We have the probability of acceptability of one shipment 0.94, which is same for each shipment, so here the number of shipments is a Binomial population.

Denote the probability od acceptance of a shipment by $p_2$ .

$p_2=0.94$

The total number of shipment, i.e sample size, $n_2= 300$

Here, the sample size is sufficiently large to approximate it as a normal distribution, for which mean, $\mu_2$ , and variance, $\sigma_2^2$ .

Mean: $\mu_2=n_2p_2=300\times0.94=282$

Variance: $\sigma_2^2=n_2p_2(1-p_2)=300\times0.94(1-0.94)=16.92$

$\Rightarrow \sigma_2=\sqrt(16.92}=4.11$ .

In this case, X>285, so, by using the continuity correction, take x=285.5 to compute z score for the normal distribution.

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{285.5-282}{4.11}=0.85$ .

So, the probability that a given shipment is acceptable is

$P(z\geq0.85)=\int_{0.85}^{\infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{\frac{-z^2}{2}=0.1977$

Hence, the probability that a given shipment is acceptable is 0.20.

(c) For the acceptance of 99% shipment of in the total shipment of 300 (sample size).

The area right to the z-score=0.99

and the area left to the z-score is 1-0.99=0.001.

For this value, the value of z-score is -3.09 (from the z-score table)

Let, $\alpha$ be the required probability of acceptance of one shipment.

So,

$-3.09=\frac{285.5-300\alpha}{\sqrt{300 \alpha(1-\alpha)}}$

On solving

$\alpha= 0.977896$

Again, the probability of acceptance of one shipment, $\alpha$ , depends on the probability of meeting the thickness specification of one bearing.

For this case,

The area right to the z-score=0.97790

and the area left to the z-score is 1-0.97790=0.0221.

The value of z-score is -2.01 (from the z-score table)

Let $p$ be the probability that one bearing meets the specification. So

$-2.01=\frac{439.5-500 p}{\sqrt{500 p(1-p)}}$

On solving

$p=0.9053$

Hence, 90.53% of the bearings meet a thickness specification so that 99% of the shipments are acceptable.

A glass paperweight has a composite shape: a square pyramid fitting exacty on top of an 8 centimeter cube. The pyramid has a hei

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Part 1) The volume of the paperweight is $576\ cm^{3}$

Part 2) The total surface area of the paperweight is $400\ cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) what is the volume of the paperweight?

we know that

The volume of the paperweight is equal to the volume of the square pyramid plus the volume of the cube

step 1

Find the volume of the pyramid

The volume of the pyramid is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}BH$

where

B is the area of the square base

H is the height of the pyramid

$B=8^{2}=64\ cm^{2}$

$H=3\ cm$

substitute

$V=\frac{1}{3}(64)(3)=64\ cm^{3}$

step 2

Find the volume of the cube

The volume of the cube is equal to

$V=b^{3}$

$V=8^{3}=512\ cm^{3}$

step 3

Find the volume of the paperweight

$64\ cm^{3}+512\ cm^{3}=576\ cm^{3}$

Part 2) what is the total surface area of the paperweight?

we know that

The total surface area of the paperweight is equal to the surface area of 5 faces of the cube plus the lateral area of the pyramid

step 1

Find the surface area of 5 faces of the cube

$SA=5b^{2}$

$SA=5(8^{2})=320\ cm^{2}$

step 2

Find the lateral area of the pyramid

$LA=4[\frac{1}{2}bh]$

$LA=4[\frac{1}{2}(8)(5)]=80\ cm^{2}$

step 3

Find the total surface area of the paperweight

$320\ cm^{2}+80\ cm^{2}=400\ cm^{2}$
