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.

Using vector concepts, it is found that:

The component form is of approximately (-9.58, 7,22). It means that the ship is about 9.58 miles to the west and about 7.22 miles to the north of where the ship left the port.

<h3>How can a vector be represented in component notation?</h3>

Given a magnitude M and angle \theta, then a vector V can be represented as follows in component notation:

V = (M\cos{\theta}, M\sin{\theta})

In this problem, the magnitude and the angle are given, respectively, by:

M = 12, \theta = 143^\circ

Hence:

V = [12cos(143º), 12sin(143º)] = (-9.58, 7,22).

Which means a displacement of 9.58 miles to the west(negative x = west) and 7.22 miles to the north(positive y = north).

The component form is of approximately (-9.58, 7,22). It means that the ship is about 9.58 miles to the west and about 7.22 miles to the north of where the ship left the port.

Roland’s Boat Tours sells deluxe and economy seats for each tour it conducts. In order to complete a tour, at least 1 economy se
vovangra [49]

Roland’s Boat Tours will make more money if they sell more economy seats, hence the maximum profit is attained if they only sell the minimum deluxe seat which is 6

6*35+ 24*40 = 210+960= $1170

<em />

Given details

To make a complete tour, at least 1 economy seats

and 6 deluxe seats

Maximum passengers per tour = 30

<em />

<em>"Boat Tours makes $40 profit for each </em><em>economy</em><em> seat sold and $35 profit for each deluxe seat sold"</em>

<em> </em>Therefore, to maximise profit, he needs to take more of economy seats

Hence

Let a deluxe seat be x and economy seat be y

Maximise

6 x+ 24y = 30

The maximum profit from one tour is  = 6*35+ 24*40 = 210+960= $1170

What is the limit of f (×) as x approaches - infinty
tatyana61 [14]
If the degree of numerator and denominator are equal, then limit will be leading coefficient of numerator divided by the leading coefficient of denominator.

So then the limit would be 3/1 = 3.

Alternatively,

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty}\dfrac{3x^2+6}{x^2-4}=\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty}\dfrac{3x^2+6}{x^2-4}\cdot\dfrac{1/x^2}{1/x^2}=\lim_{x\to\infty}\dfrac{3+\frac6{x^2}}{1-\frac4{x^2}} = \dfrac{3+0}{1-0}=\boxed{3}

Hope this helps.

How much sugar syrup would you get by Making 5% sugar syrup using 6g sugar?
kherson [118]

Answer: 120 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of sugar syrup made by 5% sugar syrup using 6g sugar.

Also, 5% =0.05

Therefore, 5% sugar syrup =5% of x = 0.05x

According to the question, we have

0.05x=6\\\text{Divide 0.05 on the both sides we get}\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{6}{0.05}\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{600}{5}\\\Rightarrow\ x=120

Hence, 120 grams sugar syrup is made by 5% sugar syrup of 6g sugar.

Use the digits 1,2,3 and 4 once each to get the largest answer possible
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

4,321

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) We know that if the number has to be big therefore, we have to put 4 in the thousands place because 4 is bigger than 3, 2, and 1

2) Next, 3 is the other biggest number, for that reason 3 is in the hundreds place

3) Then, 2 is the other bigger number; therefore, the tens place is 2

4) Finally, the last number remaining is 1, which is in the ones place

Therefore, the answer is 4,321

Hope this helps!
