A ferry will safely accommodate 82 tons of passenger cars. Assume that the meanweight of a passenger car is 2 tons with standard

deviation 0.8 tons. If a random sampleof 37 cars are loaded onto the ferry, what is the probability that the maximum safeweight will be exceeded?

Answer:

The probability that the maximum safe-weight will be exceeded is <u>0.0455 or 4.55%</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Maximum safe-weight of 37 cars = 82 tons

∴ Maximum safe-weight of 1 car (x) = 82 ÷ 37 = 2.22 tons (Unitary method)

Mean weight of 1 car (μ) = 2 tons

Standard deviation of 37 cars = 0.8 tons

So, standard deviation of 1 car is given as:

\sigma=\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{37}}=0.13

Probability that maximum safe-weight is exceeded, P(x > 2.22) = ?

The sample is normally distributed (Assume)

Now, let us determine the z-score of the mean weight.

The z-score is given as:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{2.22-2}{0.13}\\\\z=\frac{0.22}{0.13}=1.69

Now, finding P(x > 2.22) is same as finding P(z > 1.69).

From the z-score table of normal distribution curve, the value of area under the curve for z < 1.69 is 0.9545.

But we need the area under the curve for z > 1.69.

So, we subtract from the total area. Total area is 1 or 100%.

So, P(z > 1.69) = 1 - P(z < 1.69)

P(z>1.69)=1-0.9545=0.0455\ or\ 4.55\%

Therefore, the probability that the maximum safe-weight will be exceeded is 0.0455 or 4.55%.

Answer:

22.5 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

h = 3 in

base 1 = 6 in

base 2 = 9 in

So plug in

A = 1/2 (3) (6 + 9)

A = 3/2 (15)

A = 22.5 in^2

BRAINLIESTTT ASAP! PLEASE HELP ME :)

Answer:

x = 52, y = 137 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 180 - 90 - 38

x =  52 degrees   (as there is 180 degrees in a triangle).

As they are the same side inner angles between 2 parallel lines:

x + (y - 9) = 180

52 + y - 9 = 180

y = 180 - 52 + 9

y =  137 degrees.

What is the lcm of 15 25 9 8.
posledela
Hi !

So,here we have to calculate the least common multiple of the numbers 15,25,9,8.

<span>We have to break down every number as a prime number product:</span>
15 = 3·525 = 5² 9  = 3² 8  = 2³

Then,we have to select <span> common and uncommon numbers at the highest power so:
</span><span>
</span><span>lcm : 2³·3²·5² = 8·9·25 = 1800
</span>

What is 2/4 x 4/8 it is a hard question for my sister
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Step-by-step explanation:

2/4*4/8 can be simplified to 1/2*1/2, the product of which is 1/4! Multiply the numerators by each other and the denominators by each other. 1*1 is 1 and 2*2 is 4.

Remember that a fraction multiplied by another fraction is like dividing, the product will get smaller.

Multiplying something by 1/2 for example is like dividing by 2.

Hope this helped!
