The Whitcomb Company manufactures a metal ring for industrial engines that usually weighs about 50 ounces. A random sample of 50

of these metal rings produced the following weights (in ounces). 51 53 56 50 44 47 53 53 42 57 46 55 41 44 52 56 50 57 44 46 41 52 69 53 57 51 54 63 42 47 47 52 53 46 36 58 51 38 49 50 62 39 44 55 43 52 43 42 57 49

Note that the first thing is to always draw up a frequency table to make the plotting process easy, then group your data to a class to make it easier to plot e.g 35-40, 41-45 etc

B)what can be observed is that there is high demand for metal rings that weigh between 50-55 ounces and 55-60 ounces.

Answers:

a) Please refer to the pictures below

b) No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

A histogram is similar to a bar chart, but the histogram groups numbers into ranges.

The following data can be inferred for the weights:

Range = Highest Value - Lowest Value

= 69 - 36

= 33

Number of classes = 8

Class\ width = \frac{Range}{Number\ of\ classes}\\= \frac{33}{8}\\= 4.125

However, once we build the data with this width, some of our values will be left out. So we slightly change the highest and lowest value to help include all our values in this range.

Approximate highest value = 71

Approximate lowest value = 35

New range = 71 - 35

=36

New\ Class\ width = \frac{36}{8}\\= 4.5

Using this, we build our frequency table:

The first value is 35, we add 4.5 to it = 39.5

Next we add 4.5 to 39.5 = 44.0

This goes on till we have all our classes:

35.0 - 39.5

39.5 - 44.0

44.0 - 48.5

48.5 - 53.0

53.0 - 57.5

57.5 - 62.0

62.0 - 66.5

66.5 - 71.0

With respect to each of this class width we find the number of values that lie in these intervals, hence the frequency.

The final table looks as shown in the picture below.

To construct a histogram, simply plot the class intervals (on x-axis) against the frequency (on y-axis). The histogram will looks as shown in the picture below.

b)

If you look at the table closely, you will see that the frequency in the more inclined towards the left side. Hence, we say that the distribution is left-skewed.

Furthermore, it can be inferred that the mean and all central values will lie more towards the left side of the graph.

Their claim that their metal rings weighs about 50 ounces can be seen as invalid since all the central values are left-skewed.

What has she done wrong?
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Her error is in squaring (2y)²

She has (2y)² = 2y²

when it should be 2y × 2y = 4y²

Then

(2y)² = 6² + 8²

4y² = 36 + 64

4y² = 100 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y² = 25 ( take square root of both sides )

y = \sqrt{25} = 5

Volume of a cylinder is \pi r^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

This comes from the area of a circle being \pi r^2. A cylinder is the area of the base circle multiplied by its height.

Using this formula, the volume of the given cylinder is
\pi r^2(3r) \\
=  3 \pi r^3

Mrs. Gomes found that 40% of students at her high school take chemistry. She randomly surveys 12 students. What is the probabili
zlopas [31]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "0.438".

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because Mrs. Gomes finds around 40% of students in herself high school are studying chemistry.  

Although each student becomes independent of one another, we may conclude:  

"x" number of the students taking chemistry seems to be binomial to p = constant probability = 0.40

Given:

Number of surveys

= 12

Exactly 4 students have taken chemistry:

=P(X\leq4)

=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)

=\Sigma_{0}^{4} C_{r}(0.4)^r(0.6)^{12-r}

On substituting the above equation, we get the probability of approximately "0.438".

So that the above would be the appropriate answer.
