Answer:

The lifetime value needed is 11.8225 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

The lifetime of a certain type of battery is normally distributed with mean value 11 hours and standard deviation 1 hour. This means that \mu = 11, \sigma = 1.

What lifetime value is such that the total lifetime of all batteries in a package exceeds that value for only 5% of all packages?

This is the value of THE MEAN SAMPLE X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. That is between Z = 1.64 and Z = 1.65. So we use Z = 1.645

Since we need the mean sample, we need to find the standard deviation of the sample, that is:

s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{4}} = 0.5

So:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

1.645 = \frac{X - 11}{0.5}

X - 11 = 0.5*1.645

X = 11.8225

The lifetime value needed is 11.8225 hours.

Of people who died in the United States in a recent year, 86% were white, 12% were black, and 2% were Asian. (We will ignore the
Marianna [84]

Answer:

To three decimal place  = 0.030

Step-by-step explanation:

Let probability of death in white p (WH) = 86%

Let probability of death in black p(B) =12%

Let probability of death in Asian p(A) = 2%

Probability of death caused by diabetes among white will be 2.8% of p (WH) = 0.86 x 0.028 = 0.02408

Probability of death caused by diabetes among black will be 4.4% of p (B) = 0.12 x 0.044 = 0.00528

Probability of death caused by diabetes among Asian will be 3.5% of p (A) = 0.02x 0.035 = 0.0007‬

If a sample is chosen and the cause is diabetes then the probability will be

Probability of death caused by diabetes among white or Probability of death caused by diabetes among black or Probability of death caused by diabetes among Asian  

0.02408 +0.00528 +0.0007 = 0.03006

To three decimal place  = 0.030

Can you help me with explanation will give brainiest
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Area of rectangular garden = lxb = 10*5

                                             = 50 sq. inch

when area increases by six times

new area = 50*6 = 300 sq inches

now,

let x be increasement in both  length and width

(5+x) (10+x) = 300

50 + 5x + 10x + x² = 300

x² + 15x - 250 = 0

x²+ 25x-10x -250 = 0

x(x+25) - 10 (x+25) = 0

( x-10) (x+25) = 0

either x + 25 =0

x = -25 length can be negative

0r x-10 = 0

x = 10

so 10 inches is increase on both side
