The tread life of a particular brand of tire is a random variable best described by a normal distribution with a mean of 60,000

miles and a standard deviation of 1000 miles. What warranty should the company use if they want 96% of the tires to outlast the warranty? 59,000 miles 58,250 miles 61,000 miles 61,750 miles

Answer: 61,750 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The p-value of the tires to outlast the warranty = 0.96

The probability that corresponds to 0.96 from a Normal distribution table is 1.75.

Mean : $\mu=60,000\text{ miles}$

Standard deviation : $\sigma=1000\text{ miles}$

The formula for z-score is given by : -

$z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.75=\dfrac{x-60000}{1000}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x-60000=1750\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=61750$

Hence, the tread life of tire should be 61,750 miles if they want 96% of the tires to outlast the warranty.

Compare 6 ⋅ 108 to 3 ⋅ 106.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

$6*10^8$ is 200 times larger than $3*10^6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$6*10^8\ and \ 3*10^6$

To compare both values we divide the exponents

$\frac{6*10^8}{3*10^6}$

6 divide by 3 is 2

for simplify exponents we use exponential property

a^m / a^n = a^(m-n)

$\frac{10^8}{10^6}=10^2$

$\frac{6*10^8}{3*10^6}=2*10^2= 200$

$6*10^8$ is 200 times larger than $3*10^6$

Circle B has a center at point (0, 2) and a point W on the circle at (3, 3). Which equation represents a line that is tangent to

Solnce55 [7]

According to the given information, the equation represents a line that is tangent to the circle and goes through the point W is given by:

y = -x + 6.

<h3>What is the equation of the circle?</h3>

The equation of a circle of center $(x_0,y_0)$ and radius r is given by:

$(x - x_0)^2 + (y - y_0)^2 = r^2$

In this problem, we have that the center is at point (0,2), hence:

$x^2 + (y - 2)^2 = r^2$

It goes through point (3,3), hence:

$3^2 + (3 - 2)^2 = r^2$

$r^2 = 10$

Hence, the equation is:

$x^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 10$

<h3>What is the equation of the tangent line at point W?</h3>

It is given by:

$y - y(0) = \frac{dy}{dx}|_{W}(x - x(0))$

Applying implicit differentiation, we have that:

$2x + 2y\frac{dy}{dy} = 0$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{x}{y}$

Point W(3,3), hence:

$(x_0, y_0) = (3,3)$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{3}{3} = -1$

Hence the equation is:

y - 3 = -(x - 3).

y = -x + 6.
