(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.

How to do question 5 and 6. Can you explain the first one which is A for 5 and 6?<br><br>Thank you​
Illusion [34]

for 6

in a

given

slope(m)=1

point=(2,-4)=(x1,y1)

we know

equation of straight line

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y+4=1(x-2)

y+4=x-2

therefore x-y-6=0 is the required equation

substituting with ax+by+c=0 we get

a=1

b= -1

c= -6

Family Video charges $10 for
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

4 movies, $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Family Video

charges $10 for a monthly membership and

$2.50 per movie

let the number of movies be x

and the charge for x movies be y

y= 10+2.5x----------1

Babe's  Movies

charges a $12

membership and $2 per

movie.

let the number of movies be x

and the charge for x movies be y

y= 12+2x----------2

equate 1 and 2

10+2.5x= 12+2x

collect like terms

12-10= 2.5x-2x

2= 0.5x

x= 2/0.5

x= 4 movies

put x= 4 in equation 1 or 2

y= 12+2x----------2

y= 12+2*4

y= 12+8

y= $20
