In a process that manufactures bearings, 90% of the bearings meet a thickness specification. A shipment contains 500 bearings. A

shipment is acceptable if at least 440 of the 500 bearings meet the specification. Assume that each shipment contains a random sample of bearings. c) What is the probability that between 270 and 280 out of 300 shipments are acceptable? d) What is the probability that 280 out of 300 shipments are acceptable?

Answer:

c) P(270≤x≤280)=0.572

d) P(x=280)=0.091

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of bearings have a proportion p=0.90 of satisfactory thickness.

The shipments will be treated as random samples, of size n=500, taken out of the population of bearings.

As the sample size is big, we will model the amount of satisfactory bearings per shipment as a normally distributed variable (if the sample was small, a binomial distirbution would be more precise and appropiate).

The mean of this distribution will be:

\mu_s=np=500*0.90=450

The standard deviation will be:

\sigma_s=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{500*0.90*0.10}=\sqrt{45}=6.7

We can calculate the probability that a shipment is acceptable (at least 440 bearings meet the specification) calculating the z-score for X=440 and then the probability of this z-score:

z=(x-\mu_s)/\sigma_s=(440-450)/6.7=-10/6.7=-1.49\\\\P(z>-1.49)=0.932

Now, we have to create a new sampling distribution for the shipments. The size is n=300 and p=0.932.

The mean of this sampling distribution is:

\mu=np=300*0.932=279.6

The standard deviation will be:

\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{300*0.932*0.068}=\sqrt{19}=4.36

c) The probability that between 270 and 280 out of 300 shipments are acceptable can be calculated with the z-score and using the continuity factor, as this is modeled as a continuos variable:

P(270\leq x\leq280)=P(269.5

d) The probability that 280 out of 300 shipments are acceptable can be calculated using again the continuity factor correction:

P(X=280)=P(279.5

Hey!


Your point on the graph would be ( -8, 0 ).

We shade the right side of the graph because the inequality shows that x is greater than -8.

Determine whether the triangles are congruent. Explain your reasoning .
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The triangles are congruent by congruency theorem SAS.

Step-by-step explanation:

Side-Angle-Side, as it suggests, is when a triangle is congruent by the order of congruent side, congruent angle, and another congruent side. If named certain ways, they can be congruent. Since the question does not provide a specific way of naming the triangles, we can assume that any way is allowed. 2.5 and 2.5 are congruent, followed by angles D and G which have the congruent angle markers. The congruent angles are followed by 1.7 and 1.7, making the triangles congruent by Side-Angle-Side.

Jeremy has 50 ft of fencing to enclose a rectangular-pen for his dog. He plans on using a side of his house for one side of the
kotykmax [81]

The dimensions such as length is 18 and width is 16 or length is 32 and width is 9 will produce an enclosed area of 288ft.

<h3>What is the dimension of length and width?</h3>

We know that,

P = l + 2w

50 = l + 2w

50 - 2w = l

A = l x w

288 = (50 - 2w)w

288 = 50w -2w²

2w² - 50w + 288

By dividing throughout by 2

w² - 25w + 144

This is in quadratic equation form.

By applying quadratic formula,

w = (-(-25) ± \sqrt{(-25)^{2}-4*1*144) / 2

w = (-(-25) ± 7)/2

w1 =  (-(-25) + 7)/2

w1 = (25 + 7) / 2

w1 = 16

w2 =  (-(-25) - 7)/2

w2 = (25 - 7) / 2

w2 = 9

By substituting the values in eq1,

A = l x w

if w = 16

288 = l x 16

l = 288/16

l = 18

if w = 9

288 = l x 9

l = 288/9

l = 32

The dimensions will be length is 18 and width is 16 or length is 32 and width is 9.

max bought 2 3/4 punds of green apples, 1 5/8 pounds of yellow apples, and 1 5/8 pounds red apples. the total cost was $5.40. wh
dangina [55]
2 3/4 + 1 5/8 + 1 5/8 =
2 + 1 + 1 = 4 (add the whole numbers)
3/4 + 5/8 + 5/8 = 6/8 + 5/8 + 5/8 = 16/8 = 2 (add the fractions)
4 + 2 = 6 total lbs

5.40 for 6 lbs = 5.40/6 = 0.90  (so the apples cost 90 cents per lb)
