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?

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.

Suppose your current electricity meter reading is 25,789 kWh, and the reading on your last bill was 25,350 kWh. If you are charg
Brrunno [24]

The amount of bill is $43.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Current meter reading = 25,789 kWh

Reading on last bill = 25,350 kWh

Reading for the month = Current meter reading - Last month bill reading

Reading for the month = 25789 - 25350 = 439kWh

Cost per kWh = $0.0983

Cost of 439 kWh = 0.0983*439 = $43.1537

Rounding off to nearest hundredth

Cost of 439 kWh = $43.15

The amount of bill is $43.15

Please help with this
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

● first one:

The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each others wich means that they form four right angles.

STP is one of them so this statement is true.

● second one:

If ST and PT were equal this would be a square not a rhombus.

● third one:

If SPQ was a right angle, this woukd be a square.

● fourth one:

Again if the diagonals SQ and PR were equal, this would be a square.
