A machine fills 64-ounce jugs with detergent. Assume the distribution of the amount of detergent in these jugs is Normal. Under

standard circumstances, the mean amount should be 64 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.4 ounces. A quality control inspector regularly checks the amount poured into the jugs to see if the machine needs an adjustment or not, which is needed when the machine either overflows or underfills the jugs. If the machine is running on target, what proportion of jugs receives more than 65 ounces of detergent

Answer:

The proportion of jugs which receive more than 65 ounces of detergent is 0.0062 or 0.62%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean amount of detergent = u = 64

Standard deviation = \sigma = 0.4

We need to find the proportion of jugs with over 65 ounces of detergent. Since the population is Normally Distributed and we have the value of population standard deviation, we will use the concept of z-score to solve this problem.

First we will convert 65 to its equivalent z-score, then using the z-table we will desired proportion. The formula to calculate the z-score is:

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

x = 65 converted to z score will be:

z=\frac{65-64}{0.4}=2.5

Therefore, the probability of detergent being more than 65 ounces is equivalent to probability of z-score being over 2.5

i.e.

P(X > 65) = P(z > 2.5)

From the z-table and using the property of symmetry:

P(z > 2.5) = 1 - P(z < 2.5)

= 1 - 0.9938

= 0.0062

Therefore,

P(X > 65) = P(z > 2.5) = 0.0062

So, the proportion of jugs which receive more than 65 ounces of detergent is 0.0062 or 0.62%

A ship leaves port on a bearing of 34.0 and travels 10.4 mi. the ship then turns due east and travels 4.6mi. how far is the ship
Natasha2012 [34]
A bearing of 34° corresponds to corresponding angle of θ=90-34=56°
The (x,y) values for the position of the ship after completing its first heading are:
x=(10.4cos 56)
y=(10.4sin56)

The trigonometric angle for θ=90-90=0
The (x,y) values for the postion of the ship after completing the second bearing is:
x=(10.4 cos56)+(4.6cos0)≈10.4 mi
y=(10.4sin56)+(4.6sin0)≈8.6mi

the distance from the port will therefore be:
d=√(10.4²+8.6²)≈13.5 miles

It trigonometric angles is:
θ=arctan(y/x)
θ=arctan(8.6/10.4)
θ≈39.6°
Thus the bearing angle is:
90-39.6=50.4°

select the correct answer. and the figure, angle k measures 45°. what is the measurement of angle c? 38° 45° 90° 98°.
LuckyWell [14K]

From the figure, we can conclude that the little triangle is an isosceles triangle, the greatest angle is 90 because ∠A = 90 and they are supplementary, therefore, using the triangle sum theorem:

\begin{gathered} m\angle J=m\angle K \\ m\angle K+m\angle K+90=180 \\ 2m\angle K=180-90 \\ 2m\angle K=90 \\ m\angle K=\frac{90}{2} \\ m\angle K=45 \end{gathered}

Suppose 40% of all college students have a computer at home and a sample of 64 is taken. What is the probability that more than
Art [367]

Answer:

0.13093

Step-by-step explanation:

Give. That :

Population mean = 40% = 0.4

Sample size (n) = 64

Probability that more than 30 have computer at home

Mean = np = 64 * 0.4 = 25.6

Standard deviation = sqrt(n*p*(1-p)) = 3.919

P(x > 30)

USing the relation to obtain the standardized score (Z) :

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (30 - 25.6) / 3.919 = 1.1227353

p(Z < 1.122) = 0.13093 ( Z probability calculator)
