The lengths of lumber a machine cuts are normally distributed with a mean of 106 inches and a standard deviation of 0.3 inch. ​(

a) What is the probability that a randomly selected board cut by the machine has a length greater than 106.11 ​inches? ​(b) A sample of 44 boards is randomly selected. What is the probability that their mean length is greater than 106.11 ​inches? ​(a) The probability is nothing.

Answer:

a) P(X>106.11)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\frac{106.11-106}{0.3})=P(z>0.37)

And we can find this probability with the complement rule:

P(z>0.37)=1-P(z

b) z =\frac{106.11- 106}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{44}}}=  2.431

And if we use the z score we got:

P(z>2.431) =1-P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the lengths of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(106,0.3)  

Where \mu=106 and \sigma=0.3

Part a

We are interested on this probability

P(X>106.11)

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

And using this formula we got:

P(X>106.11)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\frac{106.11-106}{0.3})=P(z>0.37)

And we can find this probability with the complement rule:

P(z>0.37)=1-P(z

Part b

For this case we select a sample of n =44 and the new z score formula is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And if we find the z score we got:

z =\frac{106.11- 106}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{44}}}=  2.431

And if we use the z score we got:

P(z>2.431) =1-P(z

Maurice's new CD has 12 songs. Each song lasts between 3 and 4 minutes. He estimates that the whole CD is about 30 minutes long.
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The estimate is less than the actual length of the CD.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Maurice's new CD has 12 songs. Each song lasts between 3 and 4 minutes.

That means the minimum length of the CD should be: 12×3=36 minutes.

The maximum length of the CD should be: 12×4=48 minutes

He estimates that the whole CD is about 30 minutes long.

30 minutes is less than 36 minutes.

That means, the estimate is less than the actual length of the CD.

Hence, the correct statement is: The estimate is less than the actual length of the CD.
