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

What is the factored term form of 2x^3+4x^2-x
Westkost [7]

Answer: x(2x^2+4x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x³+4x²-x, first find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), which is x. To find the GCF, look at what all the numbers have in common, and then see if it has the greatest value. Next factor out the GCF.

x(\frac{2x^3}{x} + \frac{4x^2}{x}-\frac{x}{x}  ) Simplify each term in the parentheses.

x(2x^2+4x-1)

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! :-)

Nora and Lila are reading the same novel for book club.
stich3 [128]

Answer:

<u>1. Nora and Lila be on the same page of the book after 6 days and a half.</u>

<u>2. Nora and Lila be on the page 180.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's check the information given to resolve the question:

Current page of the novel that Nora is reading now = 128

Pages per day Nora reads = 8

Current page of the novel that Lila is reading now = 102

Pages per day Lila reads = 12

Days ahead for Nora and Lila will be on the same page = x

2. After how many days of reading will Nora and Lila be on the same page of the book?

128 + 8x = 102 + 12x

8x - 12x = 102 - 128 (Subtracting 12x and 128 at both sides)

-4x = -26

x = 6.5

<u>Nora and Lila be on the same page of the book after 6 days and a half.</u>

<u>3.</u> What page will they be on?

Nora : 128 + 8 (6.5) = 128 + 52 = 180

Lila : 102 + 12 (6.5) = 102 + 78 = 180

<u>Nora and Lila be on the page 180</u>
