Production of a gas flow meter takes place in two distinct operations. Measurements (n = 15) of the time required for the first

operation yield sample mean and standard deviation of 45 min and 4 min, respectively. Measurements (n = 15) of the time required for the second operation yield sample mean and standard deviation of 32 min and 2.5 min, respectively. For the purposes of this question, assume each time is a normally‐distributed random variable. a) What is the probability that the time required to complete both of those steps will exceed 80 min? b) What is a 95% confidence interval for the expected total time required to produce one flow meter? c) What is a 95%

Answer:

a) P(a > 80) = 0.323

b) The 95% confidence interval = (73.40, 80.60)

c) The 95% confidence interval expresses that the mean of the distribution can always be found in the given range, with a 95% confidence level.

Step-by-step explanation:

X ~ (45, 4)

Y ~ (32, 2.5)

(X+Y) ~ (77, 6.5)

Let a = (X+Y)

a) Probability that the time required to complete both of those steps will exceed 80 min = P(a > 80)

This is a normal distribution problem

We then standardize 80 min time

The standardized score for any value is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z = (a - μ)/σ = (80 - 77)/6.5 = 0.46

To determine the probability the time required to complete both of those steps will exceed 80 min = P(a > 80) = P(z > 0.46)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(a > 80) = P(z > 0.46) = 1 - P(z ≤ 0.46) = 1 - 0.677 = 0.323

b) 95% confidence interval for the expected total time required to produce one flow meter.

We need to obtain the margin of error

Margin of error = (critical value) × (standard error of the sample)

Critical value for a 95% confidence interval = critical value for a significance level of 5% = t(15-1, 0.05/2) = 2.145 (using the t-score since information on the population mean and standard deviation isn't known)

Standard error for the sample of sum of times = (standard deviation of the sum of times)/√n = (6.5/√15) = 1.678

Margin of error = 2.145 × 1.678 = 3.60

Limits of the confidence interval = (Sample mean ± margin of error)

Lower limit of the confidence interval = (Sample mean - margin of error) = 77 - 3.60 = 73.40

Upper limit of the confidence interval = 77 + 3.60 = 80.60

The confidence interval = (73.40, 80.60)

Lubov Fominskaja [6]
So basically 3cm is the model and 2 m is the actual size. So the hood is 1m so it is half of 2m which means the answer to the question is 1.5cm

murzikaleks [220]

The probability that at least one child among the 3 will get influenza is 0.07.

<h3>Define probability.</h3>

The area of mathematics known as probability deals with numerical descriptions of how likely it is for an event to happen or for a claim to be true. A number between 0 and 1 is the probability of an event, where, broadly speaking, 0 denotes the event's impossibility and 1 denotes its certainty.

Given,

3 children in a village ages 3, 5, and 7 are vaccinated with the qiv vaccine

Probability that at least one child among the 3 will get influenza

P(at least one child among the 3 will get influenza)

=  1 - P(no one have influenza)

= 1 - (1- 0.0.378)(1-0.017)²

= 1 - 0.93

= 0.07

The probability that at least one child among the 3 will get influenza is 0.07.

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2x+3) = 85

10x + 15 = 85

x = (85 - 15)/10

x = 7
