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

A composite material is to be designed with epoxy (Em 3.5 GPa) and unidirectional fibers. The longitudinal elastic modulus of th
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Minimum elastic modulus of fiber = 455.64 GPa

Explanation:

Contents of composite material = Epoxy and Unidirectional fibers

Elastic modulus of epoxy = 3.5 GPa

Elastic modulus of composite material = 320 GPa

Volume fraction of fiber = 70 %

Volume fraction of epoxy = 100 - 70 = 30%

Elastic modulus of composite material = 3.5 x 0.3 + Elastic modulus of fiber x 0.7 = 320

0.7 x Elastic modulus of fiber = 320 - 1.05 = 318.95

Elastic modulus of fiber = 455.64 GPa

Minimum elastic modulus of fiber = 455.64 GPa

loris [4]

For these question, it has two separate equations: 2f(a) and f(2a) .

For f(2a) equations its x=2a, so you must substitute 2a into the f(x) equation

For 2f(a), it means the two time of f(a) equation with x=a, so you substitute a inti f(x) equation first, then you multiply it by 2.
