The shape of the distribution of the time required to get an oil change at a 20 minute oil change facility. However, records ind

icate the mean time is 21.3 minutes and the standard deviation is 3.9 minutes.
Suppose the manager agrees to pay each employee a​ $50 bonus if they meet a certain goal. On a typical​ Saturday, the​ oil-change facility will perform 40 oil changes between 10 A.M. and 12 P.M. Treating this as a random​ sample, at what mean​ oil-change time would there be a​ 10% chance of being at or​ below? This will be the goal established by the manager.

Answer:

For a mean oil change time of 20.51 minutes there would be a​ 10% chance of being at or​ below

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 21.3, \sigma = 3.9, n = 40, s = \frac{3.9}{\sqrt{40}} = 0.6166

Treating this as a random​ sample, at what mean​ oil-change time would there be a​ 10% chance of being at or​ below?

This is the 10th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.1. So it is X when Z = -1.28.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

-1.28 = \frac{X - 21.3}{0.6166}

X - 21.3 = -1.28*0.6166

X = 20.51

For a mean oil change time of 20.51 minutes there would be a​ 10% chance of being at or​ below

During an experiment, Aika measured the time it took for a ball to roll down a ramp set at an angle. She measured that it took 1
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

11.725%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

True value = 0.904 seconds

Measured time = 1.010 seconds

Experimental error :

(|measured value - True value | / true value) * 100%

(|1.010 - 0.904| ÷ 0.904) * 100%

= 0.106 / 0.904 * 100%

= 0.1172566 * 100%

= 11.725%

Why does (-4 1/2)^2 = 20.25? Thank you please hurry!
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Squaring a number means to multiply the number by itself.

For example, 3^2 means 3 * 3.

8^2 means 8 * 8.

(-6)^2 means (-6) * (-6).

In each case above, you see that the number that is squared is multiplied by itself.

In this case, (-4.5)^2, squaring the number -4.5, means multiply the number -4.5 by the number -4.5

(-4.5)^2 = (-4.5) * (-4.5)

Now we need to actually multiply -4.5 by -4.5

When you multiply a negative number by a negative number, the result is positive, so the product of -4.5 and -4.5 is a positive number. To find that number, you multiply 4.5 by 4.5

4.5 * 4.5 = 20.25

Therefore, (-4.5)^2 = 20.25
