An accelerated life test on a large number of type-D alkaline batteries revealed that the mean life for a particular use before

they failed is 19.0 hours. The distribution of the lives approximated a normal distribution. The standard deviation of the distribution was 1.2 hours.
About 68.26% of the batteries failed between what two values?

About 95.44% of the batteries failed between what two values?

Answer:

About 68.26% of the batteries failed between what two values?

\mu -\sigma= 19-1.2=17.8, \mu+\sigma=19+1.2=20.2

About 95.44% of the batteries failed between what two values?

\mu -2\sigma= 19-2(1.2)=16.6, \mu+2\sigma=19+2(1.2)=21.4

About 99.97% of the batteries failed between what two values?

14.7 and 23.3

Step-by-step explanation:

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".  

The empirical rule, also referred to as the three-sigma rule or 68-95-99.7 rule, is a statistical rule which states "that for a normal distribution, almost all data falls within three standard deviations (denoted by σ) of the mean (denoted by µ). Broken down, the empirical rule shows that 68% falls within the first standard deviation (µ ± σ), 95% within the first two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ), and 99.7% within the first three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ)".

Let X the random variable who represent the mean life for a particular use before they failed.

From the problem we have the mean and the standard deviation for the random variable X. E(X)=\mu =19.0, Sd(X)=\sigma=1.2

Other way to interpret the empirical rule is like this:

• The probability of obtain values within one deviation from the mean is 0.68

• The probability of obtain values within two deviation's from the mean is 0.95

• The probability of obtain values within three deviation's from the mean is 0.997

About 68.26% of the batteries failed between what two values?

\mu -\sigma= 19-1.2=17.8, \mu+\sigma=19+1.2=20.2

We can use the following codes in order to find the limits:

"=NORM.INV(0.1587,19,1.2)" and "=NORM.INV(1-0.1587,19,1.2)"

About 95.44% of the batteries failed between what two values?

\mu -2\sigma= 19-2(1.2)=16.6, \mu+2\sigma=19+2(1.2)=21.4

We can use the following codes in order to find the limits:

"=NORM.INV(0.0228;19;1.2)" and "=NORM.INV(1-0.0228;19;1.2)"

About 99.97% of the batteries failed between what two values?

For this case the empirical rule is not the best approximation since within 3 deviations from the mean we have 99.7% of the data and not 99.97%. We can use excel to find the limits.

We can use the following codes in order to find the limits:

"=NORM.INV(0.00015;19;1.2)" and "=NORM.INV(1-0.00015;19;1.2)"

Answer:

68.2% of the batteries failed between 17.8 and 20.2 hours.

95.44% of the batteries failed between 16.6 and 21.4 hours.

99.97% of the batteries failed between 15.4 and 22.6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 68-95-99.7 states that, for a normally distributed sample:

68.26% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the sample.

95.44% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the sample.

99.97% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the sample.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 19 hours, standard deviation of 1.2 hours.

About 68.26% of the batteries failed between what two values?

This is within 1 standard deviation of the mean. So 68.2% of the batteries failed between 17.8 and 20.2 hours.

About 95.44% of the batteries failed between what two values?

This is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. So 95.44% of the batteries failed between 16.6 and 21.4 hours.

About 99.97% of the batteries failed between what two values?

This is within 3 standard deviations of the mean. So 99.97% of the batteries failed between 15.4 and 22.6 hours.

Solve the inequality.
xenn [34]

Answer:

x < -24(option

Step-by-step explanation:

-¼x - 12 > -6

Add 12 to both sides

-¼x - 12+12 > -6+12

-¼x > 6

Divide both sides by -¼

x < 6 ÷ -¼

Please note that the inequality sign changes when divided by negative (minus). This is a rule in inequalities.

x < 6 × -4

x < -24

R + 11 + 8r= 29<br> Show answer
____ [38]

Answer:

r=2

Step-by-step explanation:

r + 8 r + 11 = 29

( 1 + 8 ) r + 11 = 29 9 r + 11 = 29

Now we can isolate and solve for r while always keeping the equation balanced: First, subtract 11 from each side of the equation:

9 r + 11 − 11 = 29 − 11

9 r + 0 = 18

9 r = 18

Now we can divide each side of the equation by 9 to get

r : 9 over 9 = 18 under 9

1 r = 2

r = 2

What is the square root of 9/100
Genrish500 [490]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>This number given in the above question is the square root of 3/10</u> .

First of all ,

    we can write 9 as  3²,

   and 100 can be written as 10².

  ⇒  Now when we take the root of this two  -

  ⇒   √ 3²/10²

 we get ,

   ⇒  3/10

 The square  root of 9/100 is <u>3/10</u> .

I need help with problem.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The measure of DC is 20ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the problem states that BA=AC, AD becomes the bisector of angle BAC. This means that BD and DC must be the same length.
