Assume the defect length of corrosion defect in a pressurized steel pipe is normally distributed with mean value 30 mm and stand

ard deviation 7.8 mm.
a. What is the probability that defect length is at most 20 mm? Less than 20 mm?
b. What is the 75th percentile of the defect length distribution?
c. What is the 15th percentile of the defect length distribution?

Answer:

a) 0.1003

b) 35.26

c) 21.92

d) Middle 80% smallest 10% and largest 10% = 20.02 and 39.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: mean ц = 30 , standard deviation δ = 7.8

a) P(x ≤ 20)

   = P [ (x - ц ) / δ   ≤  ( 20 -30) / 7.8 ]

   = P(z ≤ -1.28)

   = 0.1003

probability = 0.1003

b) 75th percentile

   P(Z < z) = 0.75

   z = 0.674

Using z-score formula

   x = z * δ + ц

   x = 0.674 * 7.8 + 30

   x = 35.26

c) 15th percentile

   P(Z < z) = 0.15

   z = -1.036

Using z-score formula

   x = z * δ + ц

   x = (-1.036) * 7.8 + 30

   x = 21.92

d) Middle 80%

   P(-z ≤ Z ≤ z) = 0.80

   P(Z ≤ z) - P(Z ≤ -z) = 0.80

   2P(Z ≤ z) - 1 = 0.80

   2P(Z ≤ z) = 1 + 0.80 = 1.80

   P(Z ≤ z) = 1.80 / 2 = 0.90

   P(Z ≤ ± 1.28) = 0.90

   z =  -1.28, + 1.28

   x = z * δ + ц

   x = (-1.28) * 7.8 + 30

   x = 20.02

   x = z * δ + ц

   x = 1.28 * 7.8 + 30

   x = 39.98

Middle 80% two values = 20.02 and 39.98

smallest 10%

P(Z < z) = 0.10

z = -1.28

Using z-score formula

x = z * δ + ц

x = ( -1.28) * 7.8 + 30

x = 20.02

largest 10%

P(Z > z ) = 0.10

1 - P(z < z) = 0.10

P(z < z) = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90

z = 1.28

Using z-score formula

x = z * δ + ц

x = (1.28) * 7.8 + 30

x = 39.98

Which expression could be a calculator’s display for the number 0.00000000000096?                                               
Zina [86]
=> 50 x 100 = 5000 <span>Expression of calculator’s display for this given number:
0.00000000000096

How to get this answer.
Since it’s a decimal number, I am pretty sure that the number will be negative.
Now, let’s move the decimal points to the right.
=> Thus the answer is c. 9.6e-13
Because, from the decimal point, we move to the right 13 times, and since it’s decimal, it’s negative. So the answer is 9.6e – 13
e represents to the number of zeros.</span>

Line Ris represented by the equation y ==x+2. Line S is perpendicular to Line R, and passes through
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

y = -x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x +  2        {Compare with y = mx + c}

Slope = m1 = 1

Slope of the line S = m2 = -1/m1 = -1/1 = -1

(-6 , 4)

y -y1 = m (x -x1)

y - 4 = (-1)(x - [-6] )

y -4 = (-1)(x + 6)

y -4 = (-1)*x + (-1) *6

y - 4 = -x - 6

     y = -x - 6 + 4

    y = -x - 2
