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

Diane's Tree Trimming Service has trimmed hundreds of trees in the Greater Denver area. The time it takes to trim a tree is norm
kkurt [141]

Answer:P(28.5And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.7

And in order to find these probabilities we use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

P(-0.7

So then the best answer would be 21.82 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the time it takes to trim a tree of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(32,5)  

Where \mu=32 and \sigma=5

We are interested on this probability

P(28.5

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:P(28.5And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.7

And in order to find these probabilities we use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

P(-0.7

 So then the best answer would be 21.82 %

Julli [10]

Answer:

\displaystyle \frac{np}{m} = a

Step-by-step explanation:

You divide both sides by <em>m</em><em> </em>to get the above answer:

\displaystyle \frac{ma}{m} = \frac{np}{m} \\ \\ a = \frac{np}{m}

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
