Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a cola-dispensing machine is set to dispense a mean of 2.02 liters into a bottle labeled 2 liters.
Std deviation =0.015 litres
X- litres contained in a bottle is N(2.02, 0.15)
Z score is obtained as
a) probability a bottle will contain between 2.00 and 2.03 liters
=P(2<x<2.03) = P(-1.33<Z<2)
= 0.4082+0.4772
=0.8854
b) P(X<2) = P(Z<-1.33) =0.5-0.4082 = 0.0918
c) 2% of containers
|z|<0.11
X lies between 0.6883 and 3.352 l
Consult the attached diagram.
In the larger triangle,
tan(16°) = (7250 ft) / (<em>x</em> + <em>y</em>)
and in the smaller triangle,
tan(26°) = (7250 ft) / <em>y</em>
You want to solve for <em>x</em>.
From the first equation (I'm ignoring units from here on, all distances are measured in ft), you have
(<em>x</em> + <em>y</em>) tan(16°) = 7250
<em>x</em> tan(16°) + <em>y</em> tan(16°) = 7250
<em>x</em> tan(16°) = 7250 - <em>y</em> tan(16°)
<em>x</em> = 7250 cot(16°) - <em>y</em>
<em />
From the second equation,
<em>y</em> = 7250 cot(26°)
Solving for <em>x</em> gives
<em>x</em> = 7250 cot(16°) - 7250 cot(26°)
<em>x</em> = 7250 (cot(16°) - cot(26°))
<em>x</em> ≈ 10,433 ft
