Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is

X: time it takes a paint coating to reach 50% gloss loss (failure).

n= 8

X[bar]= 14.10hs

S= 1.67hs

Assuming X≈N(μ;σ²)

a) You have to estimate the average failure time using a 95% confidence interval. For this, considering that the sample size is small, and the population variance is unknown, you have to use the t-statistic:

[X[bar]±t_{n-1;1-\alpha /2}*\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }]

t_{n-1;1-\alpha /2}= t_{7;0.975}= 2.365

[14.10±2.365*\frac{1.67}{\sqrt{8} }*]

[12.70; 15.49]

b) Interpretation:

Using a 95% confidence level you'd expect that the interval [12.70; 15.49]hours contains the true mean failure time for the paint coating.

c)

Using the estimates of the mean and standard deviation based on the sample of 8 panes as the true mean and standard deviation of failure time of a panel (assumed to be <u>normally distributed</u>), find the cut-off failure time that separates, among all the panels, the bottom 10% from the rest, i.e. the 10th percentile.

μ= 14.10

σ= 1.67

You have to find a value of the variable X that has below it 10% of the distribution, symbolically:

P(X ≤ x₀)= 0.10

To do so, you have to work using the tabulated standard normal distribution (Z) and then, using the population values μ and δ, "transform" the value of Z to a value of X. (i.e. you have to reverse the standardization to reach the corresponding value of X)

Using the Z-distribution Z= (X-μ)/σ

P(Z ≤ z₀)= 0.10

Using the left entry of the table, since we are working in the left tail of the distribution.

z₀= -1.282

Now using the formula you have to calculate the value of X

z₀= (x₀-μ)/σ

z₀*σ= x₀-μ

(z₀*σ)+μ= x₀

x₀= (z₀*σ)+μ= (-1.282*1.67) + 14.10= 11.95906 ≅ 11.96hours

The value that separates the bottom 10% of the panels from the rest is 11.96 hours.

I hope it helps!

There are 3 bags each containing 100 marbles. Bag 1 has 75 red and 25 blue marbles. Bag 2 has 60 red and 40 blue marbles. Bag 3
jekas [21]

Answer:

0.4 ; 0.6125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Bag 1 : 75 red ; 25 blue

Bag 2: 60 red ; 40 blue

Bag 3: 45 red ; 55 blue

Probability = (required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

A) since the probability of choosing each bag is equal :

BAG A:

P(choosing bag A) = 1 / total number of bags = 1/3 ; P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 25/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (1/3 × 75/100) = 25/300

BAG B:

P(choosing bag B) = 1/3 ;

P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 40/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (1/3 × 40/100) = 40/300

BAG C:

P(choosing bag C) = 1/3

P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 55/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (1/3 × 55/100) = 55/300

= (25/300) × (40/300) × (55/300) = (25 + 40 + 55)/300 = 120/300 = 0.4

2) What is the probability that the marble is blue when the first bag is chosen with probability 0.5 and other bags with equal probability each?

BAG A:

P(choosing bag A) = 0.5 ; P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 25/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (0.5 × 75/100) = (0.5 * 0.75) = 0.375

BAG B:

P(choosing bag B) = (1-0.5) / 2 = 0.25 ;

P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 40/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (0.25 × 40/100) = (0.25 × 0.4) = 0.1

BAG C:

P(choosing bag C) = (1 - (0.5+0.25)) = 0.25

P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 55/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (0.25 × 55/100) = 0.25 × 0.55 = 0.1375

= 0.1375 + 0.1 + 0.375 = 0.6125

Ksju [112]

Answer:

(a)\dfrac{92}{117}

(b)\dfrac{8}{39}

(c)\dfrac{25}{117}

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Men, n(M)=24

Number of Women, n(W)=3

Total Sample, n(S)=24+3=27

Since you cannot appoint the same person twice, the probabilities are <u>without replacement.</u>

(a)Probability that both appointees are men.

P(MM)=\dfrac{24}{27}X \dfrac{23}{26}=\dfrac{552}{702}\\=\dfrac{92}{117}

(b)Probability that one man and one woman are appointed.

To find the probability that one man and one woman are appointed, this could happen in two ways.

  • A man is appointed first and a woman is appointed next.
  • A woman is appointed first and a man is appointed next.

P(One man and one woman are appointed)=P(MW)+P(WM)

=(\dfrac{24}{27}X \dfrac{3}{26})+(\dfrac{3}{27}X \dfrac{24}{26})\\=\dfrac{72}{702}+\dfrac{72}{702}\\=\dfrac{144}{702}\\=\dfrac{8}{39}

(c)Probability that at least one woman is appointed.

The probability that at least one woman is appointed can occur in three ways.

  • A man is appointed first and a woman is appointed next.
  • A woman is appointed first and a man is appointed next.
  • Two women are appointed

P(at least one woman is appointed)=P(MW)+P(WM)+P(WW)

P(WW)=\dfrac{3}{27}X \dfrac{2}{26}=\dfrac{6}{702}

In Part B, P(MW)+P(WM)=\frac{8}{39}

Therefore:

P(MW)+P(WM)+P(WW)=\dfrac{8}{39}+\dfrac{6}{702}\\$P(at least one woman is appointed)=\dfrac{25}{117}
