Answer:

a) 73.30% probability that a randomly selected wire from company A's production will meet the specifications

b) 28.87% probability that all four in a randomly selected system will meet the specifications

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 0.12, \sigma = 0.009

a) What is the probability that a randomly selected wire from company A's production will meet the specifications?

This is the pvalue of when X = 0.13 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.11. So

X = 13

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

Z = \frac{0.13 - 0.12}{0.009}

Z = 1.11

Z = 1.11 has a pvalue of 0.8665

X = 11

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

Z = \frac{0.11 - 0.12}{0.009}

Z = -1.11

Z = -1.11 has a pvalue of 0.1335

0.8665 - 0.1335 = 0.7330

73.30% probability that a randomly selected wire from company A's production will meet the specifications

b) If four of these wires are used in each computer system and all are selected from company A, what is the probability that all four in a randomly selected system will meet the specifications?

For each of them, 0.7330 probability

(0.7330)^4 = 0.2887

28.87% probability that all four in a randomly selected system will meet the specifications

Answer:

a) P(0.11

And we can find this probability with this difference and with the normal standard table or excel:

P(-1.11

b) P(0.11 < \bar X < 0.13)

And we can use the z score defined by:

z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And using the limits we got:

z = \frac{0.11-0.12}{\frac{0.009}{\sqrt{4}}}= -2.22

z = \frac{0.13-0.12}{\frac{0.009}{\sqrt{4}}}= 2.22

And we want to find this probability:

P(-2.22< Z

Step-by-step explanation:

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".  

Part a

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

X \sim N(0.12,0.009)  

Where \mu=0.12 and \sigma=0.009

We are interested on this probability

P(0.11

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

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

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(0.11

And we can find this probability with this difference and with the normal standard table or excel:

P(-1.11

Part b

We select a sample size of n =4. And since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And we want this probability:

P(0.11 < \bar X < 0.13)

And we can use the z score defined by:

z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And using the limits we got:

z = \frac{0.11-0.12}{\frac{0.009}{\sqrt{4}}}= -2.22

z = \frac{0.13-0.12}{\frac{0.009}{\sqrt{4}}}= 2.22

And we want to find this probability:

P(-2.22< Z

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The y-intercept refers to the y-coordinate of a point where a curve or a line, intersects the y-axis.

In the given equation, the y-intercept is ( 0, 9.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the equation;

y=0.10x+9.50

The y-intercept is simply the y-coordinate of a point where the line intersects the y-axis. At this point, the value of x is usually zero.

y = 0.10 (0) + 9.50

y = 0 + 9.50

y = 9.50

is our y-intercept

Plz help and show how you did the math question
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

x =  - 3

y =  - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y=x+1 plug it into bottom equation as y.

x + 1= 5x + 13

Subtract 1 from both sides

x = 5x + 12

Subtract 5x from both sides

- 4x = 12

Divide both sides by -4

x =  - 3

Now x=-3 into the top equation to find y

- 3 + 1 =  - 2

y=-2

A truck weighing 150kN and travelling at 2m/sec impacts with a buffer
FrozenT [24]

The maximum compression of the spring is 0.276 m

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we calculate the spring  constant of the spring, by using Hooke's law:

F=kx

where

F = 10 kN = 10,000 N is the force applied

x = 1.25 cm = 0.0125 m is the corresponding compression of the spring

k is the spring constant

Solving for k,

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{10,000}{0.0125}=8\cdot 10^5 N/m

When the truck impacts with the spring, all the kinetic energy of the truck is converted into elastic potential energy of the spring, so we can write

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 (1)

where

m is the mass of the truck

v = 2 m/s is the initial speed of the truck

k=8\cdot 10^5 N/m is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

The mass of the truck can be found from its weight:

m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{150,000 N}{9.81 N/kg}=15,290 kg

So now we can re-arrange eq.(1) to find the compression, x:

x=\sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(15,290)(2)^2}{8\cdot 10^5}}=0.276 m
