The article "Monte Carlo Simulation—Tool for Better Understanding of LRFD" (J. Structural Engr., 1993: 1586–1599) suggests that

yield strength (ksi) for A36 grade steel is normally distributed with 43 and 4.5. a. What is the probability that yield strength is at most 40? Greater than 60? b. What yield strength value separates the strongest 75% from the others?

Answer:

a) P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distribution or excel and we got:

P(z

b) P(X>40)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{60-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{60-43}{4.5})=P(z>3.78)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and normal standard distribution or excel and we got:

P(z>3.78)=1-P(Z

c) z=0.674

And if we solve for a we got

a=43 +0.674*4.5=46.033

So the value of height that separates the bottom 75% of data from the top 25% is 46.033.  

Step-by-step explanation:

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".  

Solution to the problem

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

X \sim N(43,4.5)  

Where \mu=43 and \sigma=4.5

Part a

We are interested on this probability

P(X

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(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distribution or excel and we got:

P(z

Part b

P(X>40)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{60-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{60-43}{4.5})=P(z>3.78)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and normal standard distribution or excel and we got:

P(z>3.78)=1-P(Z

Part c

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.25   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.75 of the area on the left and 0.25 of the area on the right it's z=0.674. On this case P(Z<0.674)=0.75 and P(z>0.674)=0.25

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=0.674

And if we solve for a we got

a=43 +0.674*4.5=46.033

So the value of height that separates the bottom 75% of data from the top 25% is 46.033.

  our X is 30 because 3x = 90 and if we divide that by 3 then we are left with 30, I knew it was equal to 90 degrees because of the little red box that symbolizes a 90 degree angle.

  So now that we know X = 30 we can plug it in for (2x + 3y)

2(30) + 3y is equal to (60 + 3y) and if we equal that to the other side 3x and plug in for x on that side, we have a new equation of 90 = 60 + 3y so then from here we subtract 60 from both sides and are left with 30 = 3y and finally we divide 3

and our final answer is Y = 10 (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((:

Number 13 please. I know the answer is 20 I just don’t know how to get there
Rudiy27

4/20 is 0.20, which is equivalent to 20%.


Remember that 1.0=100%, 0.5=50%, 0.2=20%, 0.05=5%, and so on.

How do u divide fractions​
Lelu [443]

Keep, change, flip

Example: 3/4 divided by 6/8

Step 1: keep 3/4

Step two: change the division sign to a multiplication sign

Step 3: flip 6/8 and make it 8/6

Step 4: multiply it, then that’s your answer to the division problem

Swap x and y, f^-1 is and solve for y to get f^-1 the inverse of f. f(f^-1)=f^-1(f)=x is the identity as a check
f(2)=3*2+1=7 (2,7)
f^-1(7)=2 (7,2)
