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?
d. What values separate the middle 80% of the defect length distribution from the smallest 10% and the largest 10%?

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

Statistics 4. Hol (a) The average age of 5 students is 9 years. Out of them, the ages of 4 students are 5, 7, 8, and 15 years. W
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

the average or mean value is the sum of all data points divided by the number of data points.

x = the unknown age of the 5th student.

average = 9 = (5 + 7 + 8 + 15 + x)/5

45 = 5 + 7 + 8 + 15 + x = 35 + x

x = 45 - 35 = 10

the 5th student is 10 years old.
