A. Choudhury’s bowling ball factory in Illinois makes bowling balls of adult size and weight only. The standard deviation in the

weight of a bowling ball produced at the factory is known to be 0.12 pounds. Each day for 24 days, the average weight, in pounds, of nine of the bowling balls produced that day has been assessed as follows:
Day Average (LB) Day Average (LB)
1 16.3 13 16.3
2 15.9 14 15.9
3 15.8 15 16.3
4 15.5 16 16.2
5 16.3 17 16.1
6 16.2 18 15.9
7 16.0 19 16.2
8 16.1 20 15.9
9 15.9 21 15.9
10 16.2 22 16.0
11 15.9 23 15.5
12 15.9 24 15.8

Required:
a. Establish a control chart for monitoring the average weights of the bowling balls in which the upper and lower control limits are each two standard deviations from the mean. What are the values of the control limits?
b. If three standard deviations ate used in the chart, how do these values change? Why?

Answer:

P(Topic A) = 0.91

P(Topic B) = 0.9163

The student should choose Topic B to maximize the probability of writing a good paper because P(Topic B)>P(Topic A).

Step-by-step explanation:

If Topic A is chosen, 2 books will be ordered (n=2)

If topic B is chosen, 4 books will be ordered (n=4)

Probability that a book arrives in time (p) = 0.7

Probability that a book does not arrive in time (q) = 1 - p = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

We will <u>use the binomial distribution</u> to find out which topic should the student choose to maximize the probability of writing a good paper. The binomial distribution formula is:

P(X=x) = ⁿCˣ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

where p = probability of success

           q = probability of failure

           n = total no. of trials

           x = no. of successful trials

For Topic A, n = 2, p=0.7 and q=0.3. If topic A is chosen, the student will use at least half the books i.e. he will use either 1 or 2 books. So,

P(Topic A) = P(X=1) + P(X=2)

                 =²C₁ (0.7)¹(0.3)²⁻¹ + ²C₂ (0.7)²(0.3)²⁻²

                 = 0.42 + 0.49

P(Topic A) = 0.91

For topic B, n=4, p=0.7 and q=0.3. If topic B is chosen, the student will choose 2 or more books i.e. 2, 3 or 4 books.

P(Topic B) = P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4)

                  = ⁴C₂ (0.7)²(0.3)⁴⁻² + ⁴C₃ (0.7)³(0.3)⁴⁻³ + ⁴C₄ (0.7)⁴(0.3)⁴⁻⁴

                  = 0.2646 + 0.4116 + 0.2401

P(Topic B) = 0.9163

The student should choose Topic B to maximize the probability of writing a good paper because P(Topic B)>P(Topic A) as calculated above.

Circle 1: center (8, 5) and radius 6
PolarNik [594]
We have that
<span>Circle 1: center (8, 5) and radius 6
</span><span>Circle 2: center (−2, 1) and radius 2

we know that
the equation of a circle is
(x-h)</span>²+(y-k)²=r²
for the circle 1---------> (x-8)²+(y-5)²=36
for the circle 2---------> (x+2)²+(y-1)²=4

using a graph tool 
see the attached figure

Part A)<span>What transformations can be applied to Circle 1 to prove that the circles are similar?

we know that
r1/r2---------> 6/2------> 3
</span><span>
to prove that the circle 1 and circle 2 are similar, the radius of circle 1 </span>must be divided by 3 and  translate the center of the circle 1  (10) units to the left and (4) units down  
<span>
 the answer part A) is
</span>the radius of circle 1 must be divided by 3 and  translate the center of the circle 1  (10) units to the left and (4) units down
