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

Multiply. Express your answer in simplest form.
kodGreya [7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) First, you need to take the whole numbers (9 and 1) and set them aside.

2.) Multiply the numerators from each fraction by one another. The numerators are the numbers on the top of the fraction. (Whatever you get on that will be the numerator of the answer!)

3.) Multiply the denominators by each other as well. The denominators are the numbers on the bottom. This will be the denominator of your answer.

4.) Now, you need to multiply your whole numbers (9 and 1) together.

5.) Then, simplify or reduce your answer. (this can't be simplified, as it is already in its simplest form)

Your answer will be 9 1/66.

Your work should look like this in the end:

Which is the correct statement ?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

A is correct  < C and < C" are congruent after both the translation and the dilation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the triangle remains the same after the translation and the dilation. After the dilation the new triangle is bigger by a factor 2 but the shape ( and therefore the angles are equal. The 2 triangles are similar,

I own a large truck, and my neighbor owns four small trucks that are all identical. My truck can carry a load of at least $600$
erastova [34]

Answer:

  there is no greatest load

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the load capacities of my truck and my neighbor's truck, respectively. We are given two relations:

  x ≥ y +600 . . . . . my truck can carry at least 600 pounds more

  x ≤ (1/3)(4y) . . . . . my truck carries no more than all 4 of hers

Combining these two inequalities, we have ...

  4/3y ≥ x ≥ y +600

  1/3y ≥ 600 . . . . . . . subtract y

  y ≥ 1800 . . . . . . . . multiply by 3

My truck's capacity is greater than 1800 +600 = 2400 pounds. This is a lower limit. The question asks for an <em>upper limit</em>. The given conditions do not place any upper limit on truck capacity.
