Enter the value of p so the expression 5/6-1/3n is equivalent to p(5-2n)?

1 answer:

4 0

P needs to be something that is multiplied through 5-2n to equal 5/6-1/3n. Since you see that there is a 5 of somesort in both equations an easy place to start is simply making p=1/6. Once you do that then 5*1/6=5/6 so the first part is okay. Then 2n*1/6=2n/6 which is able to be reduced to n/3.
Based on this it is clear that p should equal 1/6.

Thompson and Thompson is a steel bolts manufacturing company. Their current steel bolts have a mean diameter of 141 millimeters,

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Probability that the sample mean would be greater than 141.4 millimetres is 0.3594.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Thompson and Thompson is a steel bolts manufacturing company. Their current steel bolts have a mean diameter of 141 millimetres, and a standard deviation of 7.

A random sample of 39 steel bolts is selected.

Let $\bar X$ = sample mean diameter

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{ \bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean diameter = 141 millimetres

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 7 millimetres

n = sample of steel bolts = 39

Now, Percentage the sample mean would be greater than 141.4 millimetres is given by = P( $\bar X$ > 141.4 millimetres)

P( $\bar X$ > 141.4) = P( $\frac{ \bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } }$ > $\frac{141.4-141}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{39} } } }$ ) = P(Z > 0.36) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.36)
