The Acme Company manufactures widgets. The distribution of widget weights is bell-shaped. The widget weights have a mean of 46 o

unces and a standard deviation of 3 ounces. Use the Standard Deviation Rule, also known as the Empirical Rule.
Suggestion: sketch the distribution in order to answer these questions.


a. 68% of the widget weights lie between ________ and________

b. What percentage of the widget weights lie between 43 and 87 ounces?

c. What percentage of the widget weights lie below 76 ?

Answer:

(a) 68% of the widget weights lie between <u>43 ounces</u> and <u>49 ounces</u>.

(b) The percentage of the widget weights lie between 43 and 87 ounces is 15.87%.

(c) The percentage of the widget weights lie below 76 is 100%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = weight of widgets manufactured by Acme Company.

The distribution of the random variable <em>X</em> is, N (<em>μ </em>= 46, <em>σ</em>²<em> </em>=<em> </em>3²).

According to the Empirical Rule in a normal distribution with mean <em>µ</em> and standard deviation <em>σ</em>, nearly all the data will fall within 3 standard deviations of the mean. The empirical rule can be broken into three parts:

  • 68% data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean.                       That is P (µ - σ ≤ X ≤ µ + σ) = 0.68.
  • 95% data falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean.                   That is P (µ - 2σ ≤ X ≤ µ + 2σ) = 0.95.
  • 99.7% data falls within 3 standard deviations of the mean.                   That is P (µ - 3σ ≤ X ≤ µ + 3σ) = 0.997.

(a)

According to the Empirical rule, 68% data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

P (µ - σ ≤ X ≤ µ + σ) = 0.68.

Compute the upper and lower values as follows:

<em>µ</em> - <em>σ</em> = 46 - 3 = 43 ounces

<em>µ</em> + <em>σ</em> = 46 + 3 = 49 ounces

Thus, 68% of the widget weights lie between <u>43 ounces</u> and <u>49 ounces</u>.

(b)

Compute the probability of the widget weights lie between 43 and 87 ounces as follows:

P(43

                          =P(-1

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

The percentage is, 0.1587 × 100 = 15.87%.

Thus, the percentage of the widget weights lie between 43 and 87 ounces is 15.87%.

(c)

Compute the probability of the widget weights lie below 76 as follows:

P(X

                  =P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

The percentage is, 1 × 100 = 100%.

Thus, the percentage of the widget weights lie below 76 is 100%.

Eights rooks are placed randomly on a chess board. What is the probability that none of the rooks can capture any of the other r
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

4.51\times10^{-10}

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only 2 solutions for none of the rooks can capture any of the other rooks: only if they are laid out in either of the 2 diagonal of the chess board

The number of possible combination for the rock to laid out in 8x8 (64 slots) chess board

\frac{64 * 63 * 62 * 61 * 60 * 59 * 58 * 57}{8!} = \frac{1.78\times10^{14}}{40320} = 4426165368 possible combination

So the probability is pretty thin

P = 2 / 4426165368 = 4.51\times10^{-10}

Answer:

The following property: If a = b and b = c, then a = c. One of the equivalence properties of equality. Note: This is a property of equality and inequalities.

Congruent Angles have the same angle (in degrees or radians). That is all. These angles are congruent. They don't have to point in the same direction. They don't have to be on similar sized lines.

The segment addition postulate states that if we are given two points on a line segment, A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points meet the requirements of the equation AB + BC = AC.Jan 4, 2016

The (interior) bisector of an angle, also called the internal angle bisector (Kimberling 1998, pp. 11-12), is the line or line segment that divides the angle into two equal parts. The angle bisectors meet at the incenter.
