The problem statement gives rise to two equations.
w = 30 + p . . . . . w is 30 more than p
w = 5 - p . . . . . .. w is p less than 5
Add these two equations to get
2w = 35
w = 35/2 = 17.5
p = 5 - w = -12.5
The unknown number w is 17.5.
The unknown number p is -12.5.
Answer:
more than 15.40 cm and less than 14.60 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
A manufacturer of bolts has a quality control policy that requires it destroy any bolts that are more than 4 standard deviations from the mean.
mean length= 15 cm
standard deviation= 0.10 cm
4 standard deviation from mean= 15±(4×0.10)
therefore, bolts of length more than 15+0.4, and less than 15-0.4 will be destroyed
= 15.40 cm and 14.60 cm
