The lengths of lumber a machine cuts are normally distributed with a mean of 100 inches and a standard deviation of 0.3 inch. ​(

a) What is the probability that a randomly selected board cut by the machine has a length greater than 100.12 ​inches? ​(b) A sample of 41 boards is randomly selected. What is the probability that their mean length is greater than 100.12 ​inches?

Answer:

a) 0.345

b) 0.005

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 100

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.3

We are given that the distribution of lengths of lumber is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) P(length greater than 100.12 ​inches)

P(x > 100.12)

P( x > 100.12) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{100.12 - 100}{0.3}) = P(z > 0.4)

= 1 - P(z \leq 0.4)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 100.12) = 1 - 0.655 = 0.345 = 34.5\%

b) Standard error due to sampling:

\displaystyle\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{0.3}{\sqrt{41}} = 0.0468

P(length greater than 100.12 ​inches for the sample)

P(x > 100.12)

P( x > 100.12) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{100.12 - 100}{0.0468}) = P(z > 2.564)

= 1 - P(z \leq 2.564)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 100.12) = 1 - 0.995 = 0.005

An angle is double its complement. find the angle and the complement
Alona [7]
Complement means the other angle that will sum up to 90°

So:

x + 2x = 90°
3x = 90
x = 30°

So, it is 30° and 30 * 2°, or 60°

Alina has 3/2 hours to complete her homework. She plans to split apart rhentime equally between 3 assignments. Which expression
e-lub [12.9K]
C. 3/2 divided by 3

Alina has 3/2 hours to complete her homework. She should divide her 3/2 hours by the 3 assignments to determine how much time she will spend on each assignment. This turns out to be 1/2 hours, or 30 minutes, on each assignment. 3/2 hours is the same thing as 90 minutes, so this answer makes sense. We want the time to be divided by the number of assignments, not vice versa.
