A manufacturer of industrial solvent guarantees its customers that each drum of solvent they ship out contains at least 100 lbs

of solvent. Suppose the amount of solvent in each drum is normally distributed with a mean of 101.3 pounds and a standard deviation of 3.68 pounds. a) What is the probability that a drum meets the guarantee? Give your answer to four decimal places. b) What would the standard deviation need to be so that the probability a drum meets the guarantee is 0.97? Give your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the solvent present

Then given that the manufacturer of industrial solvent guarantees its customers that each drum of solvent they ship out contains at least 100 lbs of solvent.

X is N(101.3, 3.68)

a) P(X>100) = P(Z>\frac{100-101.3}{3.68} =P(Z>-0.35)\\=0.6368

Probability = 0.6368

b) P(X>100)= 0.97 means Z score = 1.88

X=100+1.88(s) =101.3

s=1.3/1.88=0.6914

Hi, I actually have this question not this one sorry
Ivanshal [37]

we know that

If V is the midpoint of SU

then

SV=VU

substitute the given values

2x+18=8x-6

solve for x

8x-2x=18+6

6x=24

<h2>x=4</h2>

Find SV

SV=2x+18

SV=2(4)+18

<h2>SV=26 units</h2>

so

<h2>VU=26 units</h2>

and

SU=2SV

SU=2(26)

<h2>SU=52 units</h2>

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find how long it takes for the bacteria to lose half its size. We can do this by taking one point of the bacteria and finding how long it takes to go to half its size. When t=0, 9300 * (1/64)^t = 9300 * 1 = 9300 as anything to the power of 0 is 1. Therefore, we can solve for t when the end result of the bacteria is 9300/2= 4650, making our equation

4650 = 9300 * (1/64)^t

divide both sides by 9300

1/2 = (1/64)^t

First, we can tell that 2^6 = 64*. Because of this, we can say that (1/2)^6 = 1^6/2^6 = 1/64, so (1/64)^(1/6) = 1/2. We know this because

(1/2)^6 = 64

take the 6th root of both sides

(1/2) = (64)^(1/6)

. This means that t=1/6, so the bacterial culture loses 1/2 of its size every 1/6 seconds

* if this is harder to figure out, e.g. 3 and 729, we can plug (log₃729) into a calculator
