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

telo118 [61]

Answer:

50°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Opposite angles are the same. Therefore,

2x-20=x+15

2x-x=15+20

x=35

2) Put x back in the equation for angle mhj

2(35)-20=50

if a car travels 370.3 miles on 52 liters of gas, how many liters of.gas.will take to go 722 miles.if the car travels at the sam
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

101.4 liters.  

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we will find mileage of car.  

\text{Mileage of car}=\frac{\text{Total distance traveled}}{\text{Total amount of fuel}}

\text{Mileage of car}=\frac{370.3\text{ miles}}{52\text{ liters gas}}

\text{Mileage of car}=7.12115\frac{\text{ miles}}{\text{ liters gas}}

We can see that car travels at the rate of 7.12 miles per liter gas. Now let us find amount of gas needed to travel 722 miles at the same rate.

\text{Amount of gas needed}=\frac{722}{7.12}

\text{Amount of gas needed}=101.388

Therefore, it will take 101.4 liters of gas to travel 722 miles.

I got this question that says to Complete the table for the given rule. and that is y=5x and it says (the chart has only numbers
Ainat [17]

Answer:

X     Y

1       5

4/5   4

2/5   2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=5x

We we know y we need to solve for x

X Y

  5

  4

  2

Let y =5

5 = 5x

Divide by 5

5/5 =5x/5

1=x

Let y =4

4 = 5x

Divide by 5

4/5 =5x/5

4/5=x

Let y =2

2 = 5x

Divide by 5

2/5 =5x/5

2/5=x

X     Y

1       5

4/5   4

2/5   2
