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 graph is shown below:
Zanzabum
The general equation of a line is expressed as y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the value of y when the graph crosses the y- axis. Consequently, it is the value of y when x is zero. The slope is the rate of change of y with respect to the change in x. It is calculated from the ratio of the difference of two y values and the difference of the corresponding x values. Given the points would result to a line, we can determine those elements for the line as follows:

b = 36
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (27 - 36) / (3 -0) = -3

So, the equation of the line would be y = -3x + 36.
