Chapter 7, Section 7.2, Question P9 The process for manufacturing a ball bearing results in weights that have an approximately n

ormal distribution with mean 0.15 g and standard deviation 0.005 g. a. If you select one ball bearing at random, what is the probability that it weighs less than 0.149 g? (round to four decimal places) b. If you select four ball bearings at random, what is the probability that their mean weight is less than 0.149 g? (round to four decimal places) c. If you select ten ball bearings at random, what is the probability that their mean weight is less than 0.149 g? (round to four decimal places)

a. Let X be a random variable representing the weight of a ball bearing selected at random. We're told that X\sim\mathcal N(0.15,0.005^2), so

\mathrm P(X

where Z\sim\mathcal N(0,1). This probability is approximately

\mathrm P(Z

b. Let X_i be a random variable representing the weight of the i-th ball that is selected, and let Y be the mean of these 4 weights,

Y=\dfrac{X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4}4

The sum of normally distributed random variables is a random variable that also follows a normal distribution,

X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4\sim\mathcal N(4\cdot0.15,4\cdot0.005^2)

so that

Y\sim\mathcal N(0.15,0.005^2)

Then

\mathrm P(Y

c. Same as (b).

Lifetime of $1 Bills The average lifetime of circulated $1 bills is 18 months. A researcher believes that the average lifetime i
OLEGan [10]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let \mu be the population mean lifetime of circulated $1 bills.

By considering the given information , we have :-

H_0:\mu=18\\\\H_a:\mu\neq18

Since the alternative hypotheses is two tailed so the test is a two tailed test.

We assume that the lifetime of circulated $1 bills is normally distributed.

Given : Sample size :  n=50 , which is greater than 30 .

It means the sample is large so we use z-test.

Sample mean : \overline{x}=18.8

Standard deviation : \sigma=2.8

Test statistic for population mean :-

z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

\Rightarrow\ z=\dfrac{18.8-18}{\dfrac{2.8}{\sqrt{50}}}\approx2.02

The p-value= 2P(z>2.02)=0.0433834

Since the p-value (0.0433834) is greater than the significance level (0.02) , so we do not reject the null hypothesis.

Hence, we conclude that we do not have enough evidence to support the alternative hypothesis that the average lifetime of a circulated $1 bill differs from 18 months.

Another type of subtraction equation is 16-b=7. Explain how you would sole this equation then solve it.
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: B = 9


Step-by-step explanation:


16-b=7

Rearrange so we can subtract 16 by 7

16 - 7 = 9


Substituting 9 for b and making sure it's correct.

16 - 9 = 7
