Answer:

a) P(5.675

And the expected number would be 260*0.933=242.58 and n =243 rounded up.

b)P(5.675< \bar X

Explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

2) Part a

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

X \sim N(5.805,0.71)  

Where \mu=5.805 and \sigma=0.071

We are interested on this probability

P(5.675

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

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

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(5.675

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(-1.83

And the expected number would be 260*0.933=242.58 and n =243 rounded up.

3) Part b

If 260 different coins are inserted in the vending machine, what is the probability that the mean falls between the limits of 5.675 g and 5.935.

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

P(5.675< \bar X

How many joules of work are done against a truck when a force of 50 N pushes it 1 kilometer away
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Work = 50,000 J

Explanation:

Work = force * distance

Given that,

  • force = 50N
  • Distance = 1km = 1000m

Work = 50 * 1000

Work = 50,000 J

The current supplied by a battery as a function of time is I(t) = (0.88 A) e^(-t*6 hr). What is the total number of electrons tr
Degger [83]

Answer:

e. 1.2 x 10²³

Explanation:

According to the problem, The current equation is given by:

I(t)=0.88e^{-t/6\times3600s}

Here time is in seconds.

Consider at t=0 s the current starts to flow due to battery and the current stops when the time t tends to infinite.

The relation between current and number of charge carriers is:

q=\int\limits {I} \, dt

Here the limits of integration is from 0 to infinite. So,

q=\int\limits {0.88e^{-t/6\times3600s}}\, dt

q=0.88\times(-6\times3600)(0-1)

q = 1.90 x 10⁴ C

Consider N be the total number of charge carriers. So,

q = N e

Here e is electronic charge and its value is 1.69 x 10⁻¹⁹ C.

N = q/e

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

N= \frac{1.9\times10^{4} }{1.69\times10^{-19}}

N = 1.2 x 10²³
