It is known that the life of a particular auto transmission follows a normal distribution with mean 72,000 miles and standard de

viation of 12,000 miles. a. A manufacturer warranties the transmission up to 40,000 miles. What percent of the transmissions will fail before the end of the warranty period? Would it be unusual for a transmission to expire before the warranty period? Explain. b. What percent of the transmissions will last longer than 65,000 miles? c. What percent of the transmissions last longer than 100,000 miles? Is this unusual? d. A transmission in the top 10% has been running for how many miles?

Answer:

a) P(X

P(z

b) P(X>65000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{65000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{65000-72000}{12000})=P(z>-0.583)

P(z>-0.583)=1-P(Z

c) P(X>100000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{100000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{100000-72000}{12000})=P(z>2.33)

P(z>2.33)=1-P(Z

Sicne this probability just represent 1% of the data we can consider this value as unusual.

d) z=1.28

And if we solve for a we got

a=72000 +1.28*12000=87360

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 87360.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the life of a particular auto transmission of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(72000,12000)  

Where \mu=72000 and \sigma=12000

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard table and we got:

P(z

Part b

P(X>65000)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>65000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{65000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{65000-72000}{12000})=P(z>-0.583)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and excel or the normal standard table and we got:

P(z>-0.583)=1-P(Z

Part c

P(X>100000)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>100000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{100000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{100000-72000}{12000})=P(z>2.33)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and excel or the normal standard table and we got:

P(z>2.33)=1-P(Z

Sicne this probability just represent 1% of the data we can consider this value as unusual.

Part d

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.1   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.9 of the area on the left and 0.1 of the area on the right it's z=1.28. On this case P(Z<1.28)=0.9 and P(z>1.28)=0.1

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=1.28

And if we solve for a we got

a=72000 +1.28*12000=87360

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 87360.

Use the graph below to fill in the blank with the correct number:
Alik [6]
Let
A(-3,0) \\ B(-2,2) \\ C(0,1) \\ D(1,-2)

we know that

Point A
A(-3,0) \\ for x=-3 \\ f(-3)=0

Point B
B(-2,2) \\ for x=-2 \\ f(-2)=2

Point C
C(0,1) \\ for x=0 \\ f(0)=1

Point D
D(1,-2) \\ for x=1 \\ f(1)=-2

therefore

the answer is
f(0)=1

the length of a rectangle is 9 units more than the width of the rectangle, w. if the width of the rectangle is more than 20 unit
Delvig [45]

Answer:

W>20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

L-----> the length of a rectangle

W---> the width of a rectangle

we know that

L=W+9 -----> equation A

W>20 -----> inequality B

The inequality B represent the equation that could be used to find the possible values of the width

The solution for the width of the rectangle  is all real numbers greater than 20 units

These two area models represent 2323 and 6969. Choose the equation that shows why 2323 and 6969 are equivalent.
grandymaker [24]
Well lets lay it out


     2323      6969
 
     first get 2323 and try its multiples.

     2323 x 2 = 4646
     2323 x 3 = 6969
  
   so what 2323 and 6969 have in common are the multiple 3

Answer: they are equivalent because they can be divided into each other. HOPE I  HELPED!! :P <span />
