A quality control expert at LIFE batteries wants to test their new batteries. The design engineer claims they have a variance of

3364 with a mean life of 530 minutes. If the claim is true, in a sample of 75 batteries, what is the probability that the mean battery life would be greater than 533.2 minutes? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answer:

The probability that the mean battery life would be greater than 533.2 minutes (in a sample of 75 batteries) is \\ P(z>0.48) = P(x>533.2) = 0.3156

Step-by-step explanation:

The main thing we have to take into account in this question is that we are about to find the probability of a <em>sample mean</em>. The distribution for <em>sample means</em> follows a <em>normal distribution</em> with mean \\ \mu and standard deviation \\ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}. Mathematically

\\ \overline{x} \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

For values of the sample \\ n \ge 30, no matter the distribution the data come from.

And the variable <em>z</em> follows a <em>standard normal distribution</em>, and, as we can remember, this distribution has a mean = 0 and a standard deviation = 1. Mathematically

\\ z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} [1]

That is

\\ z \sim N(0, 1)

We have a variance of 3364. That is, a <em>standard deviation</em> of

\\ \sigma^2 = 3364; \sigma = \sqrt{3364} = 58

The population mean is

\\ \mu = 530

The sample size is \\ n = 75

The sample mean is \\ \overline{x} = 533.2

With all this information, we can solve the question

The probability that the mean battery life would be greater than 533.2 minutes

Using equation [1]

\\ z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

\\ z = \frac{533.2 - 530}{\frac{58}{\sqrt{75}}}

\\ z = \frac{3.2}{\frac{58}{8.66025}}

\\ z = \frac{3.2}{6.69726}

\\ z = 0.47780

With this value of z we can consult a <em>cumulative standard normal table</em> (or use some statistic program) to find the cumulative probability for <em>z</em> (and remember that this variable follows a standard normal distribution).

Most standard normal tables have values for z for only two decimals, so we can round the previous value for z as z = 0.48.

Then

\\ P(z

However, in the question we are asked for \\ P(z>0.48) = P(x>533.2). As well as all normal distributions, the standard normal distribution is symmetrical around the mean, and we have

\\ P(z>0.48) = 1 - P(z

Thus

\\ P(z>0.48) = 1 - 0.68439

\\ P(z>0.48) = 0.31561

Rounding to four decimal places, we have

\\ P(z>0.48) = 0.3156

So, the probability that the mean battery life would be greater than 533.2 minutes is (in a sample of 75 batteries) \\ P(z>0.48) = P(x>533.2) = 0.3156.

Tomas bought 80 tickets for rides at an amusement park. Each ride costs 5 tickets, and Tomas has been on x rides so far. Which e
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Option A, C and D are correct choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of rides that Tomas has been on so far. Each ride costs 5 tickets. This means that cost of x rides will be 5x.

We are told that Tomas bought 80 tickets for rides at an amusement park.

To find the number of of tickets that Tomas has left we will subtract cost of x rides from total number of tickets that Thomas bought.

We can represent this information in an expression as: 80-5x

Now let us see which of our given choices in equivalent to our expression.

A. 80-5x

Upon looking at option A we can see that it is same as our expression, therefore, option A is the correct choice.

B. 80+5x

We can see that in this expression cost of x rides in being added instead of subtraction, therefore, option B is not a correct choice.

C. 5(16-x)

Upon distributing 5 we will get,

80-5x

Now this expression is same same as our expression, therefore, option C is the correct choice.

D. -5x+80

This expression is also same as our expression as we can rearrange the terms in this expression as: 80-5x, therefore, option D is a correct choice as well.

E. 5(16+x)

Upon distributing 5 we will get,

80+5x

We can see that in this expression cost of x rides in being added instead of subtraction, therefore, option E is not a correct choice.

Use the Newton-Raphson method to find the root of the equation f(x) = In(3x) + 5x2, using an initial guess of x = 0.5 and a stop
xxMikexx [17]

Answer with explanation:

The equation which we have to solve by Newton-Raphson Method is,

 f(x)=log (3 x) +5 x²

f'(x)=\frac{1}{3x}+10 x

Initial Guess =0.5

Formula to find Iteration by Newton-Raphson method

  x_{n+1}=x_{n}-\frac{f(x_{n})}{f'(x_{n})}\\\\x_{1}=x_{0}-\frac{f(x_{0})}{f'(x_{0})}\\\\ x_{1}=0.5-\frac{\log(1.5)+1.25}{\frac{1}{1.5}+10 \times 0.5}\\\\x_{1}=0.5- \frac{0.1760+1.25}{0.67+5}\\\\x_{1}=0.5-\frac{1.426}{5.67}\\\\x_{1}=0.5-0.25149\\\\x_{1}=0.248

x_{2}=0.248-\frac{\log(0.744)+0.30752}{\frac{1}{0.744}+10 \times 0.248}\\\\x_{2}=0.248- \frac{-0.128+0.30752}{1.35+2.48}\\\\x_{2}=0.248-\frac{0.17952}{3.83}\\\\x_{2}=0.248-0.0468\\\\x_{2}=0.2012

x_{3}=0.2012-\frac{\log(0.6036)+0.2024072}{\frac{1}{0.6036}+10 \times 0.2012}\\\\x_{3}=0.2012- \frac{-0.2192+0.2025}{1.6567+2.012}\\\\x_{3}=0.2012-\frac{-0.0167}{3.6687}\\\\x_{3}=0.2012+0.0045\\\\x_{3}=0.2057

x_{4}=0.2057-\frac{\log(0.6171)+0.21156}{\frac{1}{0.6171}+10 \times 0.2057}\\\\x_{4}=0.2057- \frac{-0.2096+0.21156}{1.6204+2.057}\\\\x_{4}=0.2057-\frac{0.0019}{3.6774}\\\\x_{4}=0.2057-0.0005\\\\x_{4}=0.2052

So, root of the equation =0.205 (Approx)

Approximate relative error

                =\frac{\text{Actual value}}{\text{Given Value}}\\\\=\frac{0.205}{0.5}\\\\=0.41

 Approximate relative error in terms of Percentage

   =0.41 × 100

   = 41 %
