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

A solid has 16 faces and 14 vertices. How many edges does the solid have
PSYCHO15rus [73]
We know the number of faces and vertices of the solid and we have to calculate the number of edges.We have : F = 16 and V = 14.The formula is:F - E + V = 216 - E + 14 = 216 + 14 - 2 = EE = 30 - 2E = 28Answer: The solid has 28 edges.

Let the number = x.

48% of x = 108

(48/100)x = 108

x  =  108 * 100 /48  = 225          use your calculator.

Answer is option C.

Find the mean of the data set 31,31,22,28,23?
Lina20 [59]
The mean is 27 
How you do this is you add all the numbers together even the ones that are duplicated like in this case 31. Now add em all up which equals 135. Now you take the number that they equal up to and divide by how many numbers are in the set of data in this case it is 5. After dividing you get 27.
I hope this helps!

I feel like This isn't right. Can some please correct it? I'll give brainiest to best explanation. Thanks

Answer: x = 10

========================================================

Explanation:

Check out the attached image. I've basically redrawn your image and added point D. This point is the intersection of the angle bisector and segment BC. The red angle (DAC) and the green angle (DAB) are congruent.

The reason why I added point D is to help with the angle bisector theorem. This theorem states that if we have a triangle ABC, and angle A is bisected (as the diagram shows), then we can set up the following proportion
AB/BD = AC/CD

Note how AB and BD are on the left side of point D, and they form the ratio AB/BD. Similarly, AC and CD are to the right of point D so they form the ratio AC/CD. These two ratios are equal by the angle bisector theorem.

---------------------

Let's plug in the given info and then isolate x
AB/BD = AC/CD
8/(x+4) = 12/(2x+1)
8(2x+1) = 12(x+4) ... cross multiply
8(2x)+8(1) = 12(x)+12(4) ... distribute
16x+8 = 12x+48
16x+8-8 = 12x+48-8 ... subtract 8 from both sides
16x = 12x+40
16x-12x = 12x+40-12x ... subtract 12x from both sides
4x = 40
4x/4 = 40/4 ... divide both sides by 4
x = 10

---------------------

Check:
8/(x+4) = 12/(2x+1)
8/(10+4) = 12/(2*10+1) ... replace every x with 10
8/(10+4) = 12/(20+1)
8/14 = 12/21
4/7 = 4/7
Answer is confirmed
