A tire manufacturer warranties its tires to last at least 20,000 miles orâ "you get a new set ofâ tires." In itsâ experience, a

set of these tires last on average 26,000 miles with SD 5,000 miles. Assume that the wear is normally distributed. The manufacturer profits â$200 on each setâ sold, and replacing a set costs the manufacturer â$400. Complete parts a through c.

Answer:

Probability that a set of tires wears out before 20,000 miles is 0.1151.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a tire manufacturer warranties its tires to last at least 20,000 miles or "you get a new set of tires." In its past experience, a set of these tires last on average 26,000 miles with S.D. 5,000 miles. Assume that the wear is normally distributed.

<em>Let X = wearing of tires</em>

So, X ~ N(\mu=26,000,\sigma^{2}=5,000^{2})

Now, the z score probability distribution is given by;

         Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = average lasting of tires = 26,000 miles

            \sigma = standard deviation = 5,000 miles

So, probability that a set of tires wears out before 20,000 miles is given by = P(X < 20,000 miles)

    P(X < 20,000) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{20,000-26,000}{5,000} ) = P(Z < -1.2) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.2)

                                                                    = 1 - 0.88493 = 0.1151

Therefore, probability that a set of tires wears out before 20,000 miles is 0.1151.

9x-7=-7<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=9x%20-%207%20%3D%20-%207" id="TexFormula1" title="9x - 7 = - 7" alt="9x - 7 = - 7"
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

x= 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are given a linear equation of single variable x, and we have to solve the equation for x.

The given equation is 9x -7= -7 ....... (1)

Now, taking all the constant terms to the right side of the equation and all the x terms to the left side of the equation.

Hence, the equation becomes  

9x = -7 +7

⇒ 9x =0 {Since, -7 and 7 cancels each other}

⇒ x= 0/9= 0 (Answer) {Since zero divided by any number is equal to zero}

Which statements are true regarding the rotational symmetry of the shape of a cross? Select three options.
Inga [223]

Answer:

The correct options are;

1) The shape maps unto itself after a rotation of 270 degrees

2) The smallest angle of rotational symmetry is 90 degrees

3) The shape maps unto itself after a rotation of 180 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We note that the shape of a cross which consists of two equal members (segments) bisecting each other at right angles such that when a member is placed vertically upright, the other member will be horizontal, therefore we have;

After rotation by 90 degrees, the vertical member will become horizontal and vice versa

After rotation by 180 degrees, the vertical member will become horizontal and vice versa again

Similarly, after rotation by 270  degrees, the once vertical member will become horizontal and the horizontal member will become vertical
