A printer toner company launches a new product. The number of pages that this new toner can print is normally distributed with a

mean of 2300 pages and a standard deviation of 150 pages.
1. If we select a toner, what is the probability that this toner can print more than 2100 pages?
2. If we select 10 toners, what is the probability that the average page yield of these 10 toners is lower than 2200 pages?
3. The company is planning to have a refund program for 3% underperforming toners. Then what should the threshold be?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number of pages that this new toner can print is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = the number of pages.

µ = mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 2300 pages

σ = 150 pages

1)

the probability that this toner can print more than 2100 pages is expressed as

P(x > 2100) = 1 - P(x ≤ 2100)

For x = 2100,

z = (2100 - 2300)/150 = - 1.33

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.092

P(x > 2100) = 1 - 0.092 = 0.908

2) P(x < 2200)

z = (x - µ)/σ/√n

n = 10

z = (2200 - 2300)/150/√10

z = - 100/47.43 = - 2.12

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.017

P(x < 2200) = 0.017

3) for underperforming toners, the z score corresponding to the probability value of 3%(0.03) is

- 1.88

Therefore,

- 1.88 = (x - 2300)/150

150 × - 1.88 = x - 2300

- 288 = x - 2300

x = - 288 + 2300

x = 2018

The threshold should be

x < 2018 pages

If a is an arbitrary nonzero constant, what happens to a/b as b approaches 0
Stolb23 [73]

It depends on how b approaches 0

If b is positive and gets closer to zero, then we say b is approaching 0 from the right, or from the positive side. Let's say a = 1. The equation a/b turns into 1/b. Looking at a table of values, 1/b will steadily increase without bound as positive b values get closer to 0.

On the other side, if b is negative and gets closer to zero, then 1/b will be negative and those negative values will decrease without bound. So 1/b approaches negative infinity if we approach 0 on the left (or negative) side.

The graph of y = 1/x shows this. See the diagram below. Note the vertical asymptote at x = 0. The portion to the right of it has the curve go upward to positive infinity as x approaches 0. The curve to the left goes down to negative infinity as x approaches 0.

Factorise fully the following expression <br> 6x-10
charle [14.2K]
6 and 10 are part of the 2 table so you would have 2(3x-5) thats the farthest we can factor it down :)

Please tell me the vertex, axis is symmetry, and the x and y intercepts. ANSWER FAST PLEASE!!
QveST [7]

The y intercept is -2. There is two x- intercepts because it is a parabola so,

x=-1

x=2

The axis of symmetry is where it splits evenly so, we can conclude it is less than 1 and bigger than 0. I hope this makes sense.

suppose marisol scored a 96% on an english test. There were 50 questions on the test. How many did marisol answer correctly?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Well if there were 50 questions it would be 2 points each so if he ended up with 96% he must have missed 2 questions
