The time taken to assemble a laptop computer in a certain plant is a random variable having a normal distribution of 20 hours an

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

a) 40.13% probability that a laptop computer can be assembled at this plant in a period of time of less than 19.5 hours.

b) 34.13% probability that a laptop computer can be assembled at this plant in a period of time between 20 hours and 22 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

$\mu = 20, \sigma = 2$

a)Less than 19.5 hours?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 19.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{19.5 - 20}{2}$

$Z = -0.25$

$Z = -0.25$ has a pvalue of 0.4013.

40.13% probability that a laptop computer can be assembled at this plant in a period of time of less than 19.5 hours.

b)Between 20 hours and 22 hours?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 22 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20. So

X = 22

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{22 - 20}{2}$

$Z = 1$

$Z = 1$ has a pvalue of 0.8413

X = 20

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{20 - 20}{2}$

$Z = 0$

$Z = 0$ has a pvalue of 0.5

0.8413 - 0.5 = 0.3413

34.13% probability that a laptop computer can be assembled at this plant in a period of time between 20 hours and 22 hours.

The total cost (in hundreds of dollars) to produce x units of a product is c(x) = (3x-2) / (8x+1), find the average cost for eac

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

a) $\frac{74}{10025}$

b) $\frac{3x-2}{x(8x+1)}$

c) $\frac{-24x^2+32x-2}{(8x^2+x)^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For total cost function $c(x)$ , average cost is given by $\frac{c(x)}{x}$ i.e., total cost divided by number of units produced.

Marginal average cost function refers to derivative of the average cost function i.e., $\left ( \frac{c(x)}{x} \right )'$

Given: $c(x)=\frac{3x-2}{8x+1}$

Average cost = $\frac{c(x)}{x}=\frac{3x-2}{x(8x+1)}$

a)

At x = 50 units,

$\frac{c(50)}{50}=\frac{150-2}{50(400+1)}=\frac{148}{50(401)}=\frac{74}{10025}$

b)

Average cost = $\frac{c(x)}{x}=\frac{3x-2}{x(8x+1)}$

c)

Marginal average cost:

Differentiate average cost with respect to $x$

Take $f=3x-2\,,\,g=8x^2+x$

using quotient rule, $\left ( \frac{f}{g} \right )'=\frac{f'g-fg'}{g^2}$

Therefore,

$\left ( \frac{c(x)}{x} \right )'=\left ( \frac{3x-2}{8x^2+x} \right )'\\=\left ( \frac{3(8x^2+x)-(16x+1)(3x-2)}{(8x^2+x)^2} \right )\\=\frac{24x^2+3x-48x^2-3x+32x+2}{(8x^2+x)^2}\\=\frac{-24x^2+32x-2}{(8x^2+x)^2}$

A spring exerts a force of 6 N when stretched 3 m beyond its natural length. How much work is required to stretch the spring 2 m

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

4Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Hooke's law which states that extension of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force provide that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically,

F = ke where

F is the applied force

K is the elastic constant

e is the extension

If a spring exerts a force of 6 N when stretched 3 m beyond its natural length, its elastic constant 'k'

can be gotten using k = f/e where

F = 6N, e = 3m

K = 6N/3m

K = 2N/m

Work done on an elastic string is calculated using 1/2ke².

If the spring is stretched 2 m beyond its natural length, the work done on the spring will be;

1/2× 2× (2)²

= 4Joules
