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.

A chef adjust a recipe to feed a large crowd. The adjusted recipe require 48 cups of milk. How many gals
larisa [96]
There are 16 cups in a gallon, if you multiply 16 by 3, you get 48. So, there are 3 gallons of milk in the Chef's adjusted recipe.

An acute triangle is isosceles. Is this statement true? pls explain
solniwko [45]

Answer:

I hope this helps:)

Every isosceles triangle has an axis of symmetry along the perpendicular bisector of its base. The two angles opposite the legs are equal and are always acute, so the classification of the triangle as acute, right, or obtuse depends only on the angle between its two legs.

Stacie is a resident at the medical facility where you work. You are asked to chart the amount of solid food that she consumes.
katrin2010 [14]

Remark

The general formula is fraction * solid food = amount

Total amount = 1/2 * 3 oz + 3/4 * 3 oz + 1/3 * 2 oz

Total amount = 3/2 oz + (9/4) oz + 2/3 oz

The lowest common denominator of  2 4 and 3 = 12

Total amount = 3*6/2*6 + 9*3/4*3 + 2*4/3*4

Total amount = 18/12 + 27/12 + 8/12

Total amount = 53/12 = 4 5/12 <<< Answer oz of food.

4.42 oz of food <<<< Answer
