The temperature reading from a thermocouple placed in a constant-temperature medium is normally distributed with mean μ, the act

ual temperature of the medium, and standard deviation σ. What would the value of σ have to be to ensure that 95% of all readings are within 0.1° of μ? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

The standard deviation would have to be 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem using the 68-95-99.7 rule for normal distributions:

The rule states that:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

What would the value of σ have to be to ensure that 95% of all readings are within 0.1° of μ?

This means that 2 standard deviations would need to be within 0.1 of the mean. So

2\sigma = 0.1

\sigma = \frac{0.1}{2}

\sigma = 0.05

The standard deviation would have to be 0.05.

Stels [109]

Answer:

The appropriate response is "0.9476".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Standard deviation,

\sigma=1150

Randomly selected railroad-car shipments,

n = 500

As we know,

⇒ \sigma \bar{x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

On substituting the values, we get

⇒      =\frac{1150}{\sqrt{500} }

then,

⇒      =P(-1.94

⇒      =P(Z

On using the table of P, we get

⇒      =0.9738 - 0.0262

⇒      =0.9476
