A company has a policy of retiring company cars; this policy looks at number of miles driven, purpose of trips, style of car and

other features. The distribution of the number of months in service for the fleet of cars is bell-shaped and has a mean of 53 months and a standard deviation of 11 months. Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, what is the approximate percentage of cars that remain in service between 64 and 75 months? ans=______%

Answer:

ans=13.59%

Step-by-step explanation:

The 68-95-99.7 rule states that, when X is an observation from a random bell-shaped (normally distributed) value with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, we have these following probabilities

Pr(\mu - \sigma \leq X \leq \mu + \sigma) = 0.6827

Pr(\mu - 2\sigma \leq X \leq \mu + 2\sigma) = 0.9545

Pr(\mu - 3\sigma \leq X \leq \mu + 3\sigma) = 0.9973

In our problem, we have that:

The distribution of the number of months in service for the fleet of cars is bell-shaped and has a mean of 53 months and a standard deviation of 11 months

So \mu = 53, \sigma = 11

So:

Pr(53-11 \leq X \leq 53+11) = 0.6827

Pr(53 - 22 \leq X \leq 53 + 22) = 0.9545

Pr(53 - 33 \leq X \leq 53 + 33) = 0.9973

-----------

Pr(42 \leq X \leq 64) = 0.6827

Pr(31 \leq X \leq 75) = 0.9545

Pr(20 \leq X \leq 86) = 0.9973

-----

What is the approximate percentage of cars that remain in service between 64 and 75 months?

Between 64 and 75 minutes is between one and two standard deviations above the mean.

We have Pr(31 \leq X \leq 75) = 0.9545 = 0.9545 subtracted by Pr(42 \leq X \leq 64) = 0.6827 is the percentage of cars that remain in service between one and two standard deviation, both above and below the mean.

To find just the percentage above the mean, we divide this value by 2

So:

P = {0.9545 - 0.6827}{2} = 0.1359

The approximate percentage of cars that remain in service between 64 and 75 months is 13.59%.

Out of the 25 students in Mrs. Coulter's class, 15 are girls. In the school there are 390 boys. If the ratio of boys to students
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

975 students

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a dense question. Let's look at it piece by piece:

1. The ratio of boys to students in the class is 10/25. If there are 25 students and 15 girls, that leaves 10 boys.

2. The question says that the ratio is in proportion of boys to total students in the school. "In proportion" in this case means that if we convert 10/25 to a fraction with numerator 390, the denominator is the amount of students in school.

3. 10x39=390. What you do the numerator you must do to the denominator: 25x39=975.

4. This means 975 students go to the school.

How many feet long is the shadow of a 15-foot flagpole if a 5-foot woman standing at the base of the flagpole has a shadow that
Vikentia [17]

The height of flagpole is 12.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of woman = 5 foot

Shadow of woman = 6 feet

Ratio of height to shadow = 5:6

Shadow of flagpole = 15 foot

Height of flagpole = x

Ratio of height to shadow = x:15

Using proportion;

Ratio of height to shadow :: Ratio of height to shadow

5:6::x:15\\

Product of mean = Product of extreme

6*x=15*5\\6x=75

Dividing both sides by 6

\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{75}{6}\\x=12.5

The height of flagpole is 12.5 feet.
