3/5x + 1/2y = 30
-3/5x. -3/5x
1/2y = -3/5x + 30
—————————
1/2
Y= -1.2x + 60

The weight of an adult swan is normally distributed with a mean of 26 pounds and a standard deviation of 7.2 pounds. A farmer ra

Snezhnost [94]

Let $X$ denote the random variable for the weight of a swan. Then each swan in the sample of 36 selected by the farmer can be assigned a weight denoted by $X_1,\ldots,X_{36}$ , each independently and identically distributed with distribution $X_i\sim\mathcal N(26,7.2)$ .

You want to find

$\mathbb P(X_1+\cdots+X_{36}>1000)=\mathbb P\left(\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{36}X_i>1000\right)$

Note that the left side is 36 times the average of the weights of the swans in the sample, i.e. the probability above is equivalent to

$\mathbb P\left(36\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{36}\frac{X_i}{36}>1000\right)=\mathbb P\left(\overline X>\dfrac{1000}{36}\right)$

Recall that if $X\sim\mathcal N(\mu,\sigma)$ , then the sampling distribution $\overline X=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{X_i}n\sim\mathcal N\left(\mu,\dfrac\sigma{\sqrt n}\right)$ with $n$ being the size of the sample.

Transforming to the standard normal distribution, you have

$Z=\dfrac{\overline X-\mu_{\overline X}}{\sigma_{\overline X}}=\sqrt n\dfrac{\overline X-\mu}{\sigma}$

so that in this case,

$Z=6\dfrac{\overline X-26}{7.2}$

and the probability is equivalent to

$\mathbb P\left(\overline X>\dfrac{1000}{36}\right)=\mathbb P\left(6\dfrac{\overline X-26}{7.2}>6\dfrac{\frac{1000}{36}-26}{7.2}\right)$
$=\mathbb P(Z>1.481)\approx0.0693$

To obtain information on the corrosion-resistance properties of a certain type of steel conduit, 45 specimens are buried in soil

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The sample has not met the required specification.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the average of the sample suggests that the true average penetration of the sample could be greater than the 50 mils established, we formulate our hypothesis as follow

$H_0$ : The true average penetration is 50 mils

$H_a$ : The true average penetration is > 50 mils

Since we are trying to see if the true average is greater than 50, this is a right-tailed test.

If the level of confidence is α = 0.05 then the $z_\alpha$ score against we are comparing with, is 1.64 (this is because the area under the normal curve N(0;1) to the right of 1.64 is 0.05)

The z-score associated with this test is

$z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}$

where

$\bar x$ = mean of the sample

$\mu$ = average established by the specification

s = standard deviation of the sample

n = size of the sample

Computing this value of z we get z = 3.42

Since z > $z_\alpha$ we can conclude that the sample has not met the required specification.

In order for a button to fit through its buttonhole, the hole needs to be the size of the button's diameter. What size buttonhol

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The buttonhole size needed to fit the button is 3cm.

The solution is as follows:
Solve for d when C = 9.42 cm=2πr
d = 2r
r = C/2π = 9.42 / 2π
r = 1.49923956393
d = 2(1.49923956393) = 2.99847912785 or 3cm
