Answer:

Proven

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABC be a triangle and D, E and F are midpoints of BC, CA and AB.

The sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than twice the median bisecting the third side,

Hence in ΔABD, AD is a median

⇒ AB + AC > 2(AD)

Hence, we get

BC + AC > 2 (CF )

BC + AB > 2 (BE)

On adding the above inequalities, we get

(AB + AC) + (BC + AC) + (BC + AB )> 2 (AD) + 2 (CD) + 2 (BE )

2(AB + BC + AC) > 2(AD + BE + CF)

AB + BC + AC > AD + BE + CF - Proven

Rockwell hardness of pins of a certain type is known to have a mean value of 50 and a standard deviation of 1.8. (Round your ans

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

a) 0.011 = 1.1% probability that the sample mean hardness for a random sample of 17 pins is at least 51

b) 0.0001 = 0.1% probability that the sample mean hardness for a random sample of 45 pins is at least 51

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
