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

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the order of operations using PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).  So, you get  18 - 6   / 5-1  = 12/4 = 3

How to find the measure of angels
Travka [436]
To find the measure<span> of the smallest angle of the triangle, we multiply 4 times 10. So, 4 x 10 = 40. Remember, the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Just take what you are given in a problem and try to </span>determine<span> what will make the final angle add up to 180 degrees.</span>
