Suppose that an airline uses a seat width of 16.7 in. Assume men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of

14.2 in. and a standard deviation of 0.9 in. Complete parts? (a) through? (c) below. A) Find the probability that if an individual man is randomly? selected, his hip breadth will be greater than 16.7 in. B) If the plane is filled with 126 randomly selected men find the the probability that these men have a mean hip breadth greater than 16.7. C) Which results should be considered for any changes in seat design: the result from part a or part b. TI84 use pleaese

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that X, the hip width of men is N(14.2, 0.9)

i.e. we have \frac{x-14.2}{0.9} is N(0,1)

Seat width an airline uses = 16.7 inches.

a) the probability that if an individual man is randomly selected, his hip breadth will be greater than 16.7 in

=P(X>16.7 inches)\\= P(Z>\frac{16.7-14.2}{0.9} =P(Z>2.77)\\\\\\=P(Z>0)-(0

b) Here sample size = 126

Each person is independent of the other

the probability that these men have a mean hip breadth greater than 16.7

=0.0028^{126} <0.00001

c) part a is important since even a single person not fitting will cause embarassment and leads to customer dissatisfaction.

Answer:

a) 0.003

b) 0.00001

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 14.2

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.9

We are given that the distribution of hip breadths is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) P(hip breadth will be greater than 16.7)

P(x > 16.7)

P( x > 16.7) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{16.7 - 14.2}{0.9}) = P(z > 2.77)

= 1 - P(z \leq 2.77)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 16.7) = 1 - 0.997 = 0.003

b) Standard error due to sampling

=\displaystyle\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{0.9}{\sqrt{126}} = 0.0802

a) P(hip breadth will be greater than 16.7 for the sample)

P(x > 16.7)

P( x > 16.7) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{16.7 - 14.2}{0.0802}) = P(z > 31.17)

= 1 - P(z \leq 31.17)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 16.7) \approx 0.000001

c)Result in a) should be considered for any changes in seat design because we need to consider the whole population and not the result for a sample.

Boyd’s dartboard is octagonal. Each side measures 9 in. He drew a copy of the board that was smaller by a scale factor 0.25.
Basile [38]
<span>The question is about the side length of a copy of the dartboard. We know that the original dartboard has sides that measure 9 inches. We also have the scale factor 0.25. The ratio of the corresponding sides is called the scale factor. If we have the scale factor 0.25 it means that for 1 unit of the original figure there are 0.25 units of length of a copy. Therefore: x = 9 * 0.25; x = 2.25 in. Answer: The side length of the dartboard Boyd drew is 2.25 inches.</span>

To find slope subtract the two points in the coordinate (y). We have 8 and 4 so subtract those two. You get 8-4=4. Now start from the same coordinate expect this time subtract (x). Which is 9-3=6. You have 4/6 simplify and you get 2/3. Your slope is 2/3. Hope this helps

In Ryan Corporation, the first shift produced 5 1/2 times as many lightbulbs as the second shift. If the total lightbulbs produc
Andru [333]

Answer:

13750

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the number of bulbs produced in second shift

Number of bulbs produced in 1st shift= 5.5x

Total number of bulbs= 5.5x+x

16250=5.5x+x

x=2500

Number of bulbs produced in shift 1= 5.5×2500

                                                            = 13750
