Specifications for an aircraft bolt require that the ultimate tensile strength be at least 18 kN. It is known that 10% of the bo

lts have strengths less than 18.3 kN and that 5% of the bolts have strengths greater than 19.76 kN. It is also known that the strengths of these bolts are normally distributed.
a. Find the mean and standard deviation of the strengths

b. What proportion of the bolts meet the strength specification?

Answer:

Mean strength is 18.94 and your standard deviation is 0.5.

So the proportion of bolts that meet the specifications is 97%.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all determine the z- scores of these points.There are 10% of bolts with a strength less than 18.3 kN and this normally distributed you can use chart or calculator to calculate z-score. As i have 5% then z-score is -1.28.Then check the other 19.76kN then find that it has a z-score of 1.64.

To check the difference subtract 19.76 and 18.3 then you get 1.46.

Subtract z-scores 1.64 - (-1.28) = 2.92

Then standard deviation is 1.46/2.92 = 0.50

mean of the bolts is obtained by adding 1.28 *0.5 = 0.64 to 18.3 then

subtract 1.64 *0.5 = 0.82 to 19.76

Then mean is 18.94

Mean strength is 18.94 and your standard deviation is 0.5.

For strength specification. First, we find the z-score for this value:

(18-18.94)/0.5=-1.88

the probability of a bolt being made stronger than this z-score.It is approximately 0.97.

So the proportion of bolts that meet the specifications is 97%. .

Bashir works in a weather station and has launched a weather ballon. The height of the baloon is 4 kilometers and it is 1 kilome
andrew-mc [135]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

(c) 4.1 km

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

We are given that the height of the balloon is 4 km and that it is 1 km away from the station.

Setting up the diagram that describes the given scenario, we would end up with a right-angled triangle as the one shown in the attached image

<u>where:</u>

height of the balloon = 4 km represents one side of the triangle

distance between the base of the balloon and the station = 1 km represents the other side

distance between the balloon and the station is the length we want to find and it represents the hypotenuse of the triangle.

<u>To get the length of the hypotenuse, we will use the Pythagorean theorem</u>

hypotenuse = +\sqrt{(side1)^2 + (side2)^2}

<u>Substitute with the givens:</u>

hypotenuse = +\sqrt{(4)^2 + (1)^2} = √17 ≈ 4.1 km

Hope this helps :)

hoa [83]
A) 1/2
Because this scale factor is smaller than 1, which means it’s making it smaller than the original.
