(1) A manufacturer of tires believes that their mean time to failure (MTTF) is 20 613 km. They also believe that time to failure

(TTF) is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 512 km (a) If the manufacturer wants to honor a 20 000 km warranty, what is the probability that any tire will fail within the warranty period? (b) What does the warranty period need to be to ensure that no more than 5 per cent of tires fail in the warranty period

Answer:

a) The probability of falling in the warranty period is 11.6%.

b) The warranty period need to be 19771 km to ensure that no more than 5 per cent of tires fail in the warranty period.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To fall within the warranty period, the tire has to fail before the 20,000 km.

To calculate the probability, we first calculate the z-value:

z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{20000-20613}{512}=  \frac{-613}{512}= -1.197

Then, the probability of falling in the warranty period is:

P(X

b) To calculate this we have to go on from a P(z<z₁)=0.05. This happens for z=-1.645.

This corresponds to a value X of:

X=\mu+z*\sigma=20613+(-1.645)*512=20613-842=19771

The warranty period need to be 19771 km to ensure that no more than 5 per cent of tires fail in the warranty period.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The result of the integration is \frac{x^5}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Integration of a power of x:

The integration of a power of x is:

\int x^{n} dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}

In this question:

n = 4. So

\int x^{4} dx = \frac{x^{4+1}}{4+1} = \frac{x^5}{5}

The result of the integration is \frac{x^5}{5}

What is the equation for |3x-4| = |2x+3|?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines stand for absolute value ( how far a number is from 0), so each number should be a positive, then you just solve for x. Isolate x, then divide on both sides, and you should get -x=1, which is equal to x=-1.

What is the simplified form of StartRoot StartFraction 72 x Superscript 16 Baseline Over 50 x Superscript 36 Baseline EndFractio
aalyn [17]

Answer:

  StartFraction 6 Over 5 x Superscript 10 Baseline EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently you want to simplify ...

  \sqrt{\dfrac{72x^{16}}{50x^{36}}}

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  1/a^b = a^-b

  (a^b)^c = a^(bc)

__

So the expression simplifies as ...

  \sqrt{\dfrac{72x^{16}}{50x^{36}}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{36}{25x^{36-16}}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{36}{25x^{20}}}\\\\\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{6}{5x^{10}}\right)^2}=\boxed{\dfrac{6}{5x^{10}}}

A new car is available with standard or automatic transmission, two or four doors, and it is available in 10 exterior colors. Wh
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

<em>40</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of options available for transmission = 2 (Standard or Automatic)

Number of options for doors = 2 (2 doors or 4 doors)

Number of exterior colors available = 10

To find:

Total number of outcomes = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us calculate the number of outcomes for the transmission mode and number of doors options.

1. Standard - 2 doors

2. Standard - 4 doors

3. Automatic - 2 doors

4. Automatic - 4 doors

Number of outcomes possible = 4 (which is equal to number of transmission mode available multiplied by number of doors options i.e. 2\times 2)

Now, these 4 will be mapped with 10 different exterior colors.

Therefore total number of outcomes possible :

Number of transmission modes \times Number of doors options  \times Number of exterior colors

2 \times 2 \times 10 = <em>40</em>
