A warehouse distributor of carpet faces a normally distributed demand for its carpet. The average demand for carpet from the sto

res that purchase from the distributor is 4,500 yards per month, with a standard deviation of 900 yards. a. Suppose the distributor keeps 6,000 yards of carpet in stock during a month. What is the probability that a customer’s order will not be met during a month? (This situation is referred to as a stockout.)

Answer:

There is a 25.14% probability that the order will not be met during a month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 4500, \sigma = 900.

The order will not be met if X > 6000. So we find the pvalue of Z when X = 6000, and subtract 1 by this value.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{6000 - 4500}{900}

Z = 1.67

Z = 1.67 has a pvalue of 0.7486.

So there is a 1 - 0.7486 = 0.2514 = 25.14% probability that the order will not be met during a month.

2. y=2x+3 

When x =0 and y= something, the 'something' is your y-intercept which is b in the y=mx+b formula.  Then we look at what is changed in the x and y value to determine the m part.  the x increase by 1 and y increase by 2 so the m part is 2. 

3. y=-7x 
Same as the last one, there is no y-inter this time because the y=0 when x=0/  So the y deceased by 7 each time and x incease by 1 so it is -7 for the m part.

Evaluate abc² if a= -3, b= 6, and c= -8​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

-1152

Step-by-step explanation:

abc² the expression can be rewritten using the given values for each letter

(-3)*6*(-8)^2 now we find the second power of (-8) by multiplying it with itself

(-8)*(-8) = 64

(-3)*6*64 = -1152

Sally has decided to spend some time over two days soving math problems. She figures that on the first day she wil be able to so
erastova [34]

A system of equations for this would be

19x + 11y = 273

and

12x + 17y = 283.

X is the amount of minutes to solve one long division problem and y is the amount of minutes to solve a graphing problem.

How To Solve This System of Equations.

Multiply both by 17 and 11 respectively for them to have the greatest common factor for y. So now both equations are:

323x + 187y= 4641

132x + 187y= 3113.

Subtract both equations and you have left:

191x = 1528.

Divide both sides by 191 and you find x.

X = 8.

Answer

It takes Sally 8 minutes to do one Long Division Problem.


Hope this helped. ;)
