IF:
|1/2.x -2/3.y = 7 and
|a.x - 8.y = -1

have no solution, that means these 2 linear equations ARE PARALLEL (since they can never meet). Reminder: 2 equations are parallel if they have the same coefficient , so let write each of the equation in the normal form:

a)1/2.x -2/3.y = 7→ -2/3.y = -1/2.x + 7 → y = 3/4.x - 21/2

b) a.x - 8.y = -1 → - 8.y = -a.x - 1 → y= a/8.x + 1

a) and b) are // if (3/4) = (a/8), [the 2 coefficient OR the 2 slopes)
a/8 = 3/4 → a = 24/4 and a = 6 (Answer D)

Based on data collected from its production processes, Crosstiles Inc. determines that the breaking strength of its most popular

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

16% of its popular porcelain tile will have breaking strengths greater than 412.5 pounds per square inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the breaking strength of its most popular porcelain tile is normally distributed with a mean of 400 pounds per square inch and a the standard deviation of 12.5 pounds per square inch.

Let X = the breaking strength of its most popular porcelain tile

SO, X ~ Normal( $\mu=400,\sigma^{2}=12.5^{2}$ )

The z score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

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

where, $\mu$ = mean breaking strength of porcelain tile = 400 pounds per square inch

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 12.5 pounds per square inch

Now, probability that the popular porcelain tile will have breaking strengths greater than 412.5 pounds per square inch is given by = P(X > 412.5)

P(X > 412.5) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{412.5-400}{12.5}$ ) = P(Z > 1) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1)
