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.

Write an equation that is perpendicular to y= 1/2x+5 and passes through (4,8)
goblinko [34]

Answer:

y = -2x + 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the perpendicular line = -1 / slope of the given line

= -1 / 1/2 = -2.

Using the point slope form of the equation of a straight line:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 8 = -2(x - 4)

y - 8 = -2x + 8

y = -2x + 16  is the required equation.

Find the volume of the pyramid.
astraxan [27]
Okay , so first you need to know what volume is. Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface, for example, the space that a substance or shape occupies or contains. Volume is often quantified numerically using the SI derived unit,To find the volume of any cube you need to know the length, width and height. The formula to find the volume multiplies the length by the width by the height. The good news for a cube is that the measure of each of these dimensions is exactly the same. Therefore, you can multiply the length of any side three times. so all you need to do is 9*9*12= 972/3 = 324 so the answer is b .
