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

A square has a perimeter of 28 feet what is its area
Westkost [7]
Given:
square shape
Perimeter 28 feet
Find its area

A square has 4 equal sides, so perimeter is 4a

Perimeter = 4a
28 ft = 4 a
28 ft / 4 = a
7 = a

One side of the the square is 7 ft.

Area of a square is the measure of one side raised to the power of 2.

A = a²
A = (7 ft)²
A = 49 ft²

A coach purchases 47 hats for his players and their families at a total cost of $302. The cost of a small hat is $5.50. A medium
bazaltina [42]
First, we define variables:
 x: small hat
 y: medium hat
 z: large hat
 We now write the system of equations:
 x + y + z = 47
 5.50x + 6y + 7z = 302
 -3x + y = 0
 We can write the system in matrix form as:
 Ax = b
 Where,
 A = [1  1  1; 5.50  6  7; -3  1  0]
 b = [47;  302;  0]
 x = [x;  y ;  z]
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 6
 y = 18
 z = 23
 Answer:
 
the coach did purchase 23 large hats
