Chapter 7, Section 7.2, Question P9 The process for manufacturing a ball bearing results in weights that have an approximately n
bogdanovich [222]

a. Let X be a random variable representing the weight of a ball bearing selected at random. We're told that X\sim\mathcal N(0.15,0.005^2), so

\mathrm P(X

where Z\sim\mathcal N(0,1). This probability is approximately

\mathrm P(Z

b. Let X_i be a random variable representing the weight of the i-th ball that is selected, and let Y be the mean of these 4 weights,

Y=\dfrac{X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4}4

The sum of normally distributed random variables is a random variable that also follows a normal distribution,

X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4\sim\mathcal N(4\cdot0.15,4\cdot0.005^2)

so that

Y\sim\mathcal N(0.15,0.005^2)

Then

\mathrm P(Y

c. Same as (b).

Thomas invested $1498.00 at 6% simple interest per annum calculate How long it will be before his investment earns $449.40
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

t = 6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the simple interest formula:  i = prt, where p is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, and is the elapsed time, in years.

Here we want to know how long it will take for the interest alone to reach $449.40.  We first solve i = prt for t, obtaining t = i/(pr).

Here, the length of time is t = ($449.40) / (0.06*$1498.00).  This works out to

t = 5.9947, or approximately 6 years.

t = 6 years

Can someone please help me?<br> If g(x) = x2 - 5x + 2, find g(0).
Debora [2.8K]

g(x) = x² - 5x + 2

You are looking for g(0). This means that you must replace all the x values in the equation above with 0

(0)² - 5(0) + 2

Now you need to solve according to the rules of PEMDAS:

(0)² - 5(0) + 2

0 - 5(0) + 2

0 - 0 + 2

0 + 2

2

g(0) = 2

Hope this helped!
