Answer:

a) the proportion is 0.159 (15.9%)

b) the proportion is 0.524 (52.4%)

c) Ralph is 70.958 inches tall

Step-by-step explanation:

defining our random variable X= heights of men , then we can define the standard random variable Z as

Z= (X- μ)/σ , where  μ is the population's mean and σ is the corresponding standard deviation of X

then for X=72

Z= (X- μ)/σ

Z= (72-68)/4 = 1

a) P(X> 72) = P(Z> 1) = 1-0.841 = 0.159 (using standard normal distribution tables)

b) for X=64 and X=74

Z₁= (64 -68)/4 = -1

Z₂= (74-68)/4 = 1.5

then

P(68<X< 74) = P(-1<Z <1.5) 0 = P(Z<1.5) - P(Z<-1) =  0.933- 0.159 =0.774

c) Z₃ = 0.933 - 0.774*0.25 = 0.7395

thus

Z₃= (X₃- μ)/σ →X₃ =μ+ Z₃*σ = 68 + 0.7395*4  = 70.958 inches

therefore Ralph is 70.958 inches tall

he number of surface flaws in plastic panels used in the interior of automobiles has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 0.02
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

a) 98.01%

b) 13.53\%

c) 27.06%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a car has 10 square feet of plastic panel, the expected value (mean) for a car to have one flaw is 10*0.02 = 0.2  

If we call P(k) the probability that a car has k flaws then, as P follows a Poisson distribution with mean 0.2,

P(k)= \frac{0.2^ke^{-0.2}}{k!}

a)

In this case, we are looking for P(0)

P(0)= \frac{0.2^0e^{-0.2}}{0!}=e^{-0.2}=0.9801=98.01\%

So, the probability that a car has no flaws is 98.01%

b)

Ten cars have 100 square feet of plastic panel, so now the mean is 100*0.02 = 2 flaws every ten cars.

Now P(k) is the probability that 10 cars have k flaws and  

P(k)= \frac{2^ke^{-2}}{k!}

and  

P(0)= \frac{2^0e^{-2}}{0!}=0.1353=13.53\%

And the probability that 10 cars have no flaws is 13.53%

c)

Here, we are looking for P(1) with P defined as in b)

P(1)= \frac{2^1e^{-2}}{1!}=2e^{-2}=0.2706=27.06\%

Hence, the probability that at most one car has no flaws is 27.06%
