A car dealership has found that the length of time before a major repair is required on the new cars it sells is normally distri

buted, with a mean equal of 36 months and a standard deviation of 9 months. If the dealer wants only 5% of the cars to fail before the end of the guarantee period, for how many months should the cars be guaranteed?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest in this case is:

X: length of time before a major repair is required on a new car. (months)

This variable has a normal distribution with mean μ= 36 months and a standard deviation σ= 9 months.

If he wants to set a guarantee period in which only 5% of the sold cars fell, the objective is to find the value of X that has below 5% of the cars that need major repairs before the end of the guarantee period.

Check the attachment, the curve represents the distribution of the population of the time it takes before a new car needs major repairs, I've marked approximately where this value of X should be.

Symbolically:

P(X≤a)=0.05

To reach the proper value of "a" you have to work using the standard normal distribution because is a tabulated distribution and you can extrapolate it to any normal distribution.

Z= \frac{X-Mu}{Sigma}~N(0;1)

So the first step is to look in the table of the Z distribution for the value that accumulates 0.05 of probability since it is such a low probability, you have to look for the value in the left side of the table (negative values of Z). You look for 0.05 in the body of the table and then the margins for the corresponding value (see second attachment)

Z_{0.05}= -1.64

Then the value that accumulates 0.05 of probability is -1.64, now you have to reverse the standardization to reach the asked value of X

Z= (a- μ)/σ

(Z*σ)= a - μ

a=(Z*σ)+ μ

a=(-1.64*9)+36

a= 21.24 months.

The guarantee period should be 21.24 months so that only 5% of the sold cars will need major repairs before it wears of.

I hope it helps!

Answer:

When we divide powers of the same base, this means that we have to do is subtract the exponents. ... In other words, all we would need is to divide two powers that have the same exponent then the subtraction would lead to zero

Step 1: Choose ONE of the following triangles and complete the table below:
Archy [21]

The question is incomplete below you will find the missing part.

Step 1 : Choose ONE of the following triangles complete the table below:

1. Obtuse Scalene Triangle Translation to prove SSS Congruence

or

2. Isosceles Right Triangle Reflection to prove ASA Congruence

or

3. Equilateral Equiangular Triangle Rotation to prove SAS Congruence

Original Coordinate Point

Transformation Rule

Image Coordinate Points

A (1, 4)      (x,y) -> (x+ ,y -)      A’ ( , )

B ( 7,4)     (x,y) -> (x+ ,y - )     B’ ( , )

C (8,9)      (x,y) -> (x+ ,y -)     C’ ( , )

The appropriate table is also shown below.

The triangles ABC and A'B'C' are congruent by SSS through Obtuse Scalene Triangle Translation  because the corresponding sides are congruent

Two triangles are congruent if their size and shape are the same.

Now we have to transform the triangle,

The coordinates of the triangle ΔABC are given as:

A = (1, 4)

B = (7,4)

C = (8,9)

so the lengths of the sides of the triangle are given by

AB= √(7-1)²+(4-4)²= √6²= 6

BC= √(8-7)²+(9-4)²= √1²+5²= √1+25= √26

CA= √(8-1)²+(9-4)²= √7²+5²= √49+25= √74

In order to prove the SSS congruence, we have to transform the triangles under the following translation rule:

(x,y) -> (x -3, y +6)

in the above translation,

The triangle will be translated 3 units left

And then translated 6 units up.

So, we have the new coordination of the points of the translated triangle ΔA'B'C'

A' = (1-3, 4+6)

A' = (-2, 10)

B' = (7-3, 4+6)

B' = (4, 10)

C' = (8-3, 9+6)

C' = (5, 15)

Now

so the lengths of the sides of the triangle are given by

A'B'= √(4-(-2))²+(10-10)²= √6²= 6

B'C'= √(5-4)²+(15-10)²= √1²+5²= √1+25= √26

C'A'= √(-2-5)²+(10-15)²= √(-7)²+(-5)²= √49+25= √74

By comparing two triangles ΔABC and ΔA'B'C'

AB ≅ A'B'

BC ≅ B'C'

CA ≅ C'A'

Hence ΔABC ≅ A'B'C' (By S-S-S rule)

By the above transformation, the triangles ABC and A'B'C' are congruent by SSS because the corresponding sides are congruent as all the points are gone through the same transformation.
