A factory worker productivity is normally distributed. one worker produces an average of 75 units per day with a standard deviat

ion of 20. another worker produces at an average rate of 65 per day with a standard deviation of 21. what is the probability that in 1 week (5 working days), worker 1 will outproduce worker 2?

Let Xi be the random variable representing the number of units the first worker produces in day i.
Define X = X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 + X5 as the random variable representing the number of units the
first worker produces during the entire week. It is easy to prove that X is normally distributed with mean µx = 5·75 = 375 and standard deviation σx = 20√5.
Similarly, define random variables Y1, Y2,...,Y5 representing the number of units produces by
the second worker during each of the five days and define Y = Y1 + Y2 + Y3 + Y4 + Y5. Again, Y is normally distributed with mean µy = 5·65 = 325 and standard deviation σy = 25√5. Of course, we assume that X and Y are independent. The problem asks for P(X > Y ) or in other words for P(X −Y > 0). It is a quite surprising fact that the random variable U = X−Y , the difference between X and Y , is also normally distributed with mean µU = µx−µy = 375−325 = 50 and standard deviation σU, where σ2 U = σ2 x+σ2 y = 400·5+625·5 = 1025·5 = 5125. It follows that σU = √5125. A reference to the above fact can be found online at http://mathworld.wolfram.com/NormalDifferenceDistribution.html.
Now everything reduces to finding P(U > 0) P(U > 0) = P(U −50 √5125 > − 50 √5125)≈ P(Z > −0.69843) ≈ 0.757546   .

The New York Queens Zoo celebrated the birth of a Southern pudu deer in July of 2013. The doe is a member of the world’s smalles
PolarNik [594]

The pudu weighed approximately 1 pound at birth.

Given that the New York Queens Zoo celebrated the birth of a Southern pudu deer in July of 2013 which tipped the scale of a mere 0.45 kg, to determine, given that one kilogram is approximately equal to 2.2 pounds, about how many pounds did the pudu weigh at birth, the following calculation must be performed:

  • 1 = 2.2
  • 0.45 = X
  • 0.45 x 2.2 = X
  • 0.99 = X

Therefore, the pudu weighed approximately 1 pound at birth.

Which of the following equations is equivalent to −6x+2y=24?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The choice three ;

y = 3x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

- 6x + 2y = 24 \\ 2y = 24 + 6x \\ \\ y = \frac{24 + 6x}{2}   \\  \\ y =  \frac{24}{2}  +  \frac{6x}{2}  \\  \\ y = 12 + 3x
