1 quart = 32 fluid ounces
16 is half of 32 so 1 quart fills 2 mugs meaning that she needs 6 quarts of coffee

Calculate the value of angle A and C of ∆ ABC. Where b=1435cm, a= 782cm and B= 115.6°.​
Monica [59]

The Law of Sines says

\dfrac{\sin A}{a} = \dfrac{\sin B}{b} = \dfrac{\sin C}{c}

\sin A = \dfrac a b \sin B

A = \arcsin( \dfrac{782}{1435} \sin 115.6 ) = 29.44^\circ

We don't have to worry about the obtuse supplement because a triangle can only have one obtuse angle, and that's B.

C = 180 - 115.6 - 29.44 = 34.96^\circ

Answer: A=29.44°, C=34.96°

The overhead reach distances of adult females are normally distributed with a mean of 197.5 cm197.5 cm and a standard deviation
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

a) 5.37% probability that an individual distance is greater than 210.9 cm

b) 75.80% probability that the mean for 15 randomly selected distances is greater than 196.00 cm.

c) Because the underlying distribution is normal. We only have to verify the sample size if the underlying population is not normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 197.5, \sigma = 8.3

a. Find the probability that an individual distance is greater than 210.9 cm

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 210.9. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{210.9 - 197.5}{8.3}

Z = 1.61

Z = 1.61 has a pvalue of 0.9463.

1 - 0.9463 = 0.0537

5.37% probability that an individual distance is greater than 210.9 cm.

b. Find the probability that the mean for 15 randomly selected distances is greater than 196.00 cm.

Now n = 15, s = \frac{8.3}{\sqrt{15}} = 2.14

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 196. Then

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{196 - 197.5}{2.14}

Z = -0.7

Z = -0.7 has a pvalue of 0.2420.

1 - 0.2420 = 0.7580

75.80% probability that the mean for 15 randomly selected distances is greater than 196.00 cm.

c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part​ (b), even though the sample size does not exceed​ 30?

The underlying distribution(overhead reach distances of adult females) is normal, which means that the sample size requirement(being at least 30) does not apply.

The process standard deviation is 0.27, and the process control is set at plus or minus one standard deviation. Units with weigh
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

a) P(X

And for the other case:

tex] P(X>10.15)[/tex]

P(X>10.15)= P(Z > \frac{10.15-10}{0.15}) = P(Z>1)=1-P(Z

So then the probability of being defective P(D) is given by:

P(D) = 0.159+0.159 = 0.318

And the expected number of defective in a sample of 1000 units are:

X= 0.318*1000= 318

b) P(X

And for the other case:

tex] P(X>10.15)[/tex]

P(X>10.15)= P(Z > \frac{10.15-10}{0.05}) = P(Z>3)=1-P(Z

So then the probability of being defective P(D) is given by:

P(D) = 0.00135+0.00135 = 0.0027

And the expected number of defective in a sample of 1000 units are:

X= 0.0027*1000= 2.7

c) For this case the advantage is that we have less items that will be classified as defective

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: "Motorola used the normal distribution to determine the probability of defects and the number  of defects expected in a production process. Assume a production process produces  items with a mean weight of 10 ounces. Calculate the probability of a defect and the expected  number of defects for a 1000-unit production run in the following situation.

Part a

The process standard deviation is .15, and the process control is set at plus or minus  one standard deviation. Units with weights less than 9.85 or greater than 10.15 ounces  will be classified as defects."

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(10,0.15)  

Where \mu=10 and \sigma=0.15

We can calculate the probability of being defective like this:

P(X

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

And if we replace we got:

P(X

And for the other case:

tex] P(X>10.15)[/tex]

P(X>10.15)= P(Z > \frac{10.15-10}{0.15}) = P(Z>1)=1-P(Z

So then the probability of being defective P(D) is given by:

P(D) = 0.159+0.159 = 0.318

And the expected number of defective in a sample of 1000 units are:

X= 0.318*1000= 318

Part b

Through process design improvements, the process standard deviation can be reduced to .05. Assume the process control remains the same, with weights less than 9.85 or  greater than 10.15 ounces being classified as defects.

P(X

And for the other case:

tex] P(X>10.15)[/tex]

P(X>10.15)= P(Z > \frac{10.15-10}{0.05}) = P(Z>3)=1-P(Z

So then the probability of being defective P(D) is given by:

P(D) = 0.00135+0.00135 = 0.0027

And the expected number of defective in a sample of 1000 units are:

X= 0.0027*1000= 2.7

Part c What is the advantage of reducing process variation, thereby causing process control  limits to be at a greater number of standard deviations from the mean?

For this case the advantage is that we have less items that will be classified as defective

Which do you think will have a greater value, 1/8 of one pound gold or 1/4 of lead? Why?
Ivenika [448]
<span>if you multiply 1/8 by 4, the fraction become 4/32, and if you multiply 1/4 by 8 you get 8/32.Since both fractions have the same denominator, we can find which fraction has the greater value. Since 1/4(8/32) has a greater numerator, the 1 pound of lead will have a larger value.</span>
