A very large batch of parts (assume a normal distrbution0 from a manufacturer has a mean weight = 43g and a standard deviation =

4g. If you slect 16 parts at random form that batch, what is the probability that exactly 8 of the 16 parts you selected will have weights exceeding 45g?

Answer:

5.44% probability that exactly 8 of the 16 parts you selected will have weights exceeding 45g

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Binomial probability distribution:

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Percentage of parts with weights exceeding 45g?

1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 45. So

We have \mu = 43, \sigma = 4

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{45 - 43}{4}

Z = 0.5

Z = 0.5 has a pvalue of 0.6915

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3075

If you slect 16 parts at random form that batch, what is the probability that exactly 8 of the 16 parts you selected will have weights exceeding 45g?

This is P(X = 8) when n = 16, p = 0.3075. So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 8) = C_{16,8}.(0.3075)^{8}.(0.6915)^{8} = 0.0544

5.44% probability that exactly 8 of the 16 parts you selected will have weights exceeding 45g

If tanisha has $100 to invest at 8% annum compounded monthly, how long will it be before she has $150?
marissa [1.9K]

An exponential behavior can be observed.

Let x be the number of years she has to wait.

100((1+0.08/12)^12x) = 150

Now solve for x.

log base 1.08/12 of 1.5 = 61.02 approx

12x=61.02

x=5.09 years

The length (in centimeters) of a typical Pacific halibut t years old is approximately f(t) = 200(1 − 0.956e−0.18t). Suppose a Pa
horsena [70]

Answer:

7.2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

f(t) =200(1 - 0.956e^{-0.18t})

where f(t) is the length and t is the number of years old

given the Mike measures 148 cm, we need to find out the age

So we plug in 148 for f(t) and solve for t

148 =200(1 - 0.956e^{-0.18t})

divide both sides by 200

\frac{148}{200} = 1 - 0.956e^{-0.18t}

Now subtract 1 from both sides

-0.26= - 0.956e^{-0.18t}

Divide both sides by -0.956

\frac{0.26}{0.956} =e^{-0.18t}

Now take ln on both sides

\frac{0.26}{0.956} =e^{-0.18t}

ln(\frac{0.26}{0.956} )=-0.18tln(e)

ln(\frac{0.26}{0.956} )=-0.18t

divide both sides by -0.18

t=7.2

So 7.2 years

The cafe sells Beetle Juice and Potion Punch. A cup of Beetle Juice costs $2.50 and a cup of Potion Punch costs $3. Owen ordered
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

2  Beetle juices and 3 Potion Punch

Step-by-step explanation:

j = Beetle Juice       cost $2.50

p = Potion Punch      Cost $3

         j + p = 5                      <em>Multiply by -3</em>              -3j  - 3p = -15

$2.50j + $3p = $14           <em>Do not change      </em>+ <em>  </em><u><em> </em></u><u>2.50j  -3p = 14      </u>

                                                                                 - .50j      = -1

                                                                                          j = 2   Beetle Juice

   Substitute into the fist equation and solve for y       j + p = 5

                                                                                         2 + p = 5

                                                                                              p = 3   Potion Punch
