(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.

A student says that a coordinate grid under a dilation with the center at the origin and scale factor 2 does not change the grid
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Dilation changes (x,y) values not the grid or coordinate plane. Basically, dilating a graph or a coordinate grid means the original coordinates you may have had will be changed with the dilation.  For example, a triangle plotted had its original area of 26 dilated to an area of 58.

How do i even solve this?? i’m super confused anything would help. ty.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

{b}^{4}  + 1

Your teacher messed up the question so just put the top right answer and ask your teacher if they did accidently miss-type.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do in this equation is look at the exponents. When multiplying a variable (or any number equal to itself with the same exponent) you only have to add the exponent. So for a, you would add the exponents to get 0, so a to the power of 0 is 1, because any number to the power of 0 is 1. For b, we would add the 3 and 1. (When no exponenet is present in a number then it is 1, so for this I added 3 and 1). So it would be 4. The correct answer is

{b}^{4}  + 1

Help plz I'm desperate ​
lutik1710 [3]

<u>Anna:</u>

1st month = 18 + \frac{3}{4} = 18\frac{3}{4} inches

2nd month = 18\frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = 19\frac{1}{2}

3rd month = 19\frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4} = 20\frac{1}{4}

4th month = 20\frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = 21

5th month = 21 + \frac{3}{4} = 21\frac{3}{4}

<u>Grace:</u>

Because Anna is \frac{9}{4} inches shorter than Grace, we can start the count from the third month:

1st month = 20\frac{1}{4}

2nd month = 21

3rd month = 21\frac{3}{4}

4th month = 21\frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = 22\frac{1}{2}

5th month = 22\frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4} = 23

Mekhanik [1.2K]
A because 9 is not prime in answer B, 15 is not prime in answer C, and 49 is not prime in answer D. So the correct answer is A.
