In the Journal of Shell and Spatial Structures (December 1963), environmental researcher Vivek Ajmani studied the performance of

truss and frame structures subjected to uncertain loads. The load was assumed to have a normal distribution with a mean of 20,000 pounds. Also, the probability that the load is between 10,000 and 30,000 pounds is 0.95. Based on this information, find the standard deviation of the load distribution. Put your answer in three decimal places.

Answer:

The standard deviation of the load distribution is of 5102.041 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 20000

Also, the probability that the load is between 10,000 and 30,000 pounds is 0.95.

10,000 pounds and 30,000 pounds are equidistant from the mean. Due to this, and the probability of 0.95 of having a value in this range, 10000 is the (100-95)/2 = 2.5th percentile and 30000 is the (100+95)/2 = 97.5th percentile. Applying one of them, we find the standard deviation.

30,000 is the 97.5th percentile:

This means that when X = 30000, Z has a pvalue of 0.975. So when X = 30000, Z = 1.96. Then

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.96 = \frac{30000 - 20000}{\sigma}

1.96\sigma = 10000

\sigma = \frac{10000}{1.96}

\sigma = 5102.041

The standard deviation of the load distribution is of 5102.041 pounds.

The city of Anville is currently home to 16000 people, and the population has been growing at a continuous rate of 4% per year.
Nesterboy [21]

Answer

After 13.15 years the population of both towns will become equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population of the city Anville is given by using the compound interest formula  

The formula of compound interest

A = p( 1+r/n)^n*t

using this we get

P1 = 16000 (1 +\frac{0.04}{1}) ^1*t

Population of the city of Brinker will be

P2 = 11000( 1  + \frac{0.07}{1}) ^1*t

now to make equal population in both towns

P1=P2

16000 (1 +\frac{0.04}{1}) ^1*t = 11000( 1  + \frac{0.07}{1}) ^1*t

(\frac{1.04}{1.07} )^t = \frac{11}{16}

t = 13.15 years

Can someone please help me with this? Thank youuu!
Lunna [17]

Answer:

1996

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of terms in an arithmetic sequence, divide the common difference into the difference between the last and first terms, and then add 1.

2008 - 13 = 1995 + 1 = 1996

I am thinking of three numbers. The second number is 5 times the first. The third number is
Fed [463]

Answer:

3, 15, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5x + ( 5x -1) = 32

11x - 1 = 32

11x = 32 + 1

11x = 33

11x/11 = 33/11

x = 3

therefore

the first number is 3

the second is 5 × 3 = 15

the third number is 15 - 1 = 14
