The thickness of a ﬂange on an aircraft component is uniformly distributed between 0.95 and 1.05 millimeters. Determine the foll

Mrrafil [7]

Answer

given,

thickness of a ﬂange on an aircraft component is uniformly distributed between 0.95 and 1.05 millimeters.

X = U[0.95,1.05] 0.95≤ x ≤ 1.05

the cumulative distribution function of flange

F(x) = P{X≤ x}= $\dfrac{x-0.95}{1.05-0.95}$

= $\dfrac{x-0.95}{0.1}$

b) P(X>1.02)= 1 - P(X≤1.02)

= $1- \dfrac{1.02-0.95}{0.1}$

= 0.3

c) The thickness greater than 0.96 exceeded by 90% of the ﬂanges.

d) mean = $\dfrac{0.95+1.05}{2}$

= 1

variance = $\dfrac{(1.05-0.95)^2}{12}$

= 0.000833

leva [86]

Answer:

The answer is 0.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, we need to use the log properties taking into account that Ln(2) is aprox. 0.69 and Ln(3) is aprox. 1.10. I think you can understand better as we solve it, so here it goes.

$Ln(\frac{8}{3} )=Ln(8)-Ln(3)$
