Answer:
u = 10

Explanation:
The slope of the lone can be calculated as follows:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

We are given:
slope = -4/3
point (10,6) representing (x1,y1)
point (7,u) representing (x2,y2)

Substitute with the givens in the above equation and solve for u as follows:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
-4/3 = (u-6) / (7-10)
-4/3 = (u-6) / -3
4/3 = (u-6) / 3
3*4 = 3*(u-6)
4 = u-6
u = 4+6
u = 10

Hope this helps :)

sergejj [24]

Answer:

a) a=225 +0.674*16.5=236.121

So the value of height that separates the bottom 75% of data from the top 25% is 236.121.  

b) P(X \geq 3) = 1-P(X

c) P(\bar X \geq 225)=1- P(\bar X

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

2) Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the cuts of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(225,16.5)  

Where \mu=225 and \sigma=16.5

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.25   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.75 of the area on the left and 0.25 of the area on the right it's z=0.674. On this case P(Z<0.674)=0.75 and P(z>0.674)=0.25

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=0.674=\frac{a-225}{16.5}

And if we solve for a we got

a=225 +0.674*16.5=236.121

So the value of height that separates the bottom 75% of data from the top 25% is 236.121.  

Part b

For this case we know that the individual probability of select one wheel with a cutting rate higher than the calculated value in part a is 0.25, and we select n =10 so then we can use the binomial distribution for this case:

X\sim Bin(n=10, p=0.25)

And we want this probability:

P(X \geq 3) = 1-P(X

We can find the individual probabilities like this:

P(X=0)=(10C0)(0.25)^0 (1-0.25)^{10-0}=0.0563

P(X=1)=(10C1)(0.25)^1 (1-0.25)^{10-1}=0.1877

P(X=2)=(10C2)(0.25)^2 (1-0.25)^{10-2}=0.2816

P(X \geq 3) = 1-P(X

Part c

For this case we know that the distribution for the sample mean is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And we want this probability:

P(\bar X \geq 225)

And for this case we can use the complement rule and the z score given by:

z= \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And if we replace we got:

P(\bar X \geq 225)=1- P(\bar X
