A standard fluorescent tube has a life length that is normally distributed with a mean of 7000 hours and a standard deviation of

1000 hours. A competitor has developed a compact fluorescent lighting system that will fit into incandescent sockets. It claims that a new compact tube has a normally distributed life length with a mean of 7500 hours and a standard deviation of 1200 hours.
1. Which fluorescent tube is more likely to have a life length greater than 9000 hours?

Answer:

The new compact tube is more likely to have a life length greater than 9000 hours.

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:

Standard tube:

\mu = 7000, \sigma = 2000

New compact tube:

\mu = 7500, \sigma = 1200

1. Which fluorescent tube is more likely to have a life length greater than 9000 hours?

Whichever tube has the lower z-score when X = 9000, since the probability of having a life length greater than 9000 hours is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 9000. The higer z, the higher it's pvalue.

Standard tube:

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

Z = \frac{9000 - 7000}{1000}

Z = 2

New compact tube:

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

Z = \frac{9000 - 7500}{1200}

Z = 1.25

The new compact tube is more likely to have a life length greater than 9000 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

the total cost is, of course, first the cost to buy the copier, and then the running costs per copy made.

it is really that easy.

the equations just put this into mathematical form :

A

y = 0.02×x + 800

B

y = 0.06×x + 600

please notice, we put $600 or $800 in as constant term, because these costs are the starting costs that we have, even if we never make a single copy (x = 0).

and then the total cost goes up with every copy we make.

I cannot draw here.

so, to find the number of copies where both copier systems would cost the same, means we have to say both equating deliver the same result :

0.02×x + 800 = 0.06×x + 600

200 = 0.04×x

x = 200 / 0.04 = 5000

when making 5000 copies both costs are the same.

What is the complete factorization of the polynomial function over the set of complex numbers?
quester [9]

Answer:

f(x)=(x-2)(x+2)(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x³-5x²+4x-20                 1. Just group randomly

f(x)=x²(x-5)+4(x-5)                2. Factor the groupings

f(x)=(x²+4)(x-5)                      

<u>f(x)=(x-2)(x+2)(x-5)</u>                3. Factor the difference of two squares
