A 500-page book contains 250 sheets of paper. The thickness of the paper used to manufacture the book has mean 0.08 mm and stand

ard deviation 0.01 mm. What is the probability that a randomly chosen book is more than 20.2 mm thick (not including the covers)

Answer:

10.20% probability that a randomly chosen book is more than 20.2 mm thick

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this problem, we have that:

250 sheets, each sheet has mean 0.08 mm and standard deviation 0.01 mm.

So for the book.

\mu = 250*0.08 = 20, \sigma = \sqrt{250}*0.01 = 0.158

What is the probability that a randomly chosen book is more than 20.2 mm thick (not including the covers)

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20.2. So

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

Z = \frac{20.2 - 20}{0.158}

Z = 1.27

Z = 1.27 has a pvalue of 0.8980

1 - 0.8980 = 0.1020

10.20% probability that a randomly chosen book is more than 20.2 mm thick

Use completing the square to determine which of the following gives the solutions to 3x2 - 24x + 40 = 28.
jeka94

Answer:

x=4+2\sqrt{3}

x=4-2\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Completing the square</u>

when  ax^2+bx+c=0

Given equation:

3x^2-24x+40=28

Subtract 40 from both sides:

\implies 3x^2-24x=-12

Divide both sides by 3:

\implies x^2-8x=-4

Add the square of half the coefficient of x to both sides:

(\frac{b}{2})^2=(\frac{-8}{2})^2=16

\implies x^2-8x+16=-4+16

Factor the left side and simplify the right side:

\implies (x-4)^2=12

Square root both sides:

\implies x-4=\pm\sqrt{12}

Add 4 to both sides and simplify the radical:

\implies x=4\pm\sqrt{4 \cdot 3}

\implies x=4\pm\sqrt{4}\sqrt{3}

\implies x=4\pm2\sqrt{3}

Answer:

n=27 degrees

m=36 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

So the inside triangle has two equal sides. To find these angles you would do the degrees of a triangle (180) minus the known value and then divided by two.

so it is: 180-126/2 which gives you 27 degrees.

this means the n value is 27.

to find m, you have to take away 90 degrees and the n value from 180.

so it is: 180-90-27 which gives you 63 degrees.

now you must take the smaller angle from 63 degrees to find m.

so it is: 63-27 which gives you 36

therefore...

n=27 degrees

m=36 degrees
