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

mario62 [17]

Answer:

12.4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of circle J is represented by KN. Half of KN is KJ and JN which means these represent the radius. Since JN equals 12.4 and JN is the the radius, then the radius of circle J is 12.4 units which is answer choice D.
