2. Company A packages roofing nails in boxes that are normally distributed with a mean of 276 nails and a standard deviation of

5.8 nails. Company B packages roofing nails in boxes that are normally distributed with a mean of 252 nails and a standard deviation of 3.4 nails. Which company is more likely to produce a box of 260 roofing nails? Explain your answer using z-scores.

Answer:

Company B

Step-by-step explanation:

We would use z score formula

z = (x - μ) / σ

x = raw score

μ = mean

σ = Standard deviation

let x = 260 with the mean μ1 = 276 and standard deviation σ = 5.8

let x = 260 with the mean μ2 = 252 and standard deviation σ = 3.4

z1 = (x- μ1) / σ = (260- 276) / 5.8 = -2.7586206897 = -2.76

z2 = (x2 - μ) / σ = (260 -252) / 3.4= 2.3529411765 = 2.35

Comparing the two z scores, we can see that company B has the probability of producing 260 nails because it has a z score of 2.35 compared to company A with a z score of -2.76.

What is the general equation of a cosine function with an amplitude of 3, a period of 4 pi, and a horizontal shift of negative p
liberstina [14]

The cosine function with the given characteristics is:

f(x) = 3*cos(x/2 - pi).

<h3>How to get the cosine function?</h3>

The general cosine function is:

f(x) = A*cos(kx + p)

Where A is the amplitude and p is the phase, then we know that:

A = 3

p = -pi

Then we have:

f(x) = 3*cos(kx - pi)

And the period is equal to 4pi, then we must have that:

k*(x + 4pi) - pi = k*x - pi + 2pi

k = 1/2

Then the function is:

f(x) = 3*cos(x/2 - pi).
