Given that mean=3750 hours and standard deviation is 300:
Then:
<span>a. The probability that a lamp will last for more than 4,000 hours?
P(x>4000)=1-P(x<4000)
but
P(x<4000)=P(z<Z)
where:
z=(x-</span>μ)/σ
z=(4000-3750)/300
z=0.833333
thus
P(x<4000)=P(z<0.8333)=0.7967
thus
P(x>4000)=1-0.7967=0.2033

<span>b.What is the probability that a lamp will last less than 3,000 hours?
P(x<3000)=P(z<Z)
Z=(3000-3750)/300
z=-2.5
thus
P(x<3000)=P(z<-2.5)=0.0062

c. </span><span>.What lifetime should the manufacturer advertise for these lamps in order that only 4% of the lamps will burn out before the advertised lifetime?
the life time will be found as follows:
let the value be x
the value of z corresponding to 0.04 is z=-2.65
thus
using the formula for z-score:
-2.65=(x-3750)/300
solving for x we get:
-750=x-3750
x=-750+3750
x=3000</span>

A group spends $277.50 to rent a total of 15 tubes. How many of each type of tube does the group rent?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The amount spent on each tube is $18.5

The total amount spent to rent 15 tubes by the group is $277.50.

Since they did not specify in the question the types of tubes they rented, we cannot determine each types of tubes that the group rented but we can determine the amount spent on each tube provided that they are all the same types.

∴

if 15 tubes = $277.50

1 tube = $x

By cross multiplying:

\mathbf {\$(x) = \dfrac{ \$277.50 \times 1 \ tube }{15 \ tube}}

\mathbf {(x) = \$18.5}

Therefore, we can conclude that the amount spent on each tube is $18.5

Find the missing length ‘x’
givi [52]

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} h (b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the perpendicular height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases

Here A = 55, h = 5. b₁ = x, b₂ = 9, then

\frac{1}{2} × 5 × (x + 9) = 55

2.5(x + 9) = 55 ( divide both sides by 2.5 )

x + 9 = 22 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

x = 13

10 &amp; 11 WILL GIVE BRAINLIST
ra1l [238]

Answer:

10)$38.50

11)D

Step-by-step explanation:

10) n = no. of rides

f(n) + g(n) = 1 + 2.5n

when n=15, 1 + 2.5(15)

= $38.50

11)f(x) = 4x³+3x²-5x+20

g(x) = 9x³-4x²+10x-55

(g-f)(x)=9x³-4x²+10x-55-(4x³

+3x²-5x+20)

= 9x³-4x²+10x-55-4x³

-3x²+5x-20

= 5x³-7x²+15x-75

(Correct me if i am wrong)
