The useful life of a radial tire is normally distributed with a mean of 30,000 miles and a standard deviation of 5000 miles. The

company makes 10,000 tires a month. What is the probability that if a radial tire is purchased at random, it will last
between 20,000 and 35,000 miles?

Answer:

  empirical rule: 81.5%

  table or calculator: 81.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

The lower limit of the life range of interest has a z-score of ...

  z = (x -μ)/σ = (20,000 -30,000)/5,000 = -2

The upper limit has a z-score of ...

  z = (35,000 -30,000)/5,000 = 1

<u>Empirical rule solution</u>

The empirical rule tells you that 95% of the distribution lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean, so (100% -95%)/2 = 2.5% lie below z = -2. It also tells you 68% lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean, so (100% -68%)/2 = 16% lie above z = 1.

The fraction that lies within -2 to 1 standard deviations of the means is thus ...

  (100% -2.5% -16%) = 81.5%

The probability the tire has a life in the desired range is about 81.5%.

__

<u>Calculator solution</u>

A probability calculator for the Normal distribution tells you that ...

  P(-2 < z < 1) ≈ 0.8185946

The probability the tire has a life in the desired range is about 81.9%.

Answer:

1.20 + 1.40x ≥ 5, or $1.20 + $1.40x ≥ $5

Step-by-step explanation:

So since you are only buying 1 soda and you are buying multiple bags of Cheetos so you are able to use you debit card and meet the requirement of at least $5, you can make the inequality:

1.20 + 1.40x ≥ 5, or $1.20 + $1.40x ≥ $5

where x is the number of bags of Cheetos.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The number of combinations will she have to analyze is  10.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Boeing currently produces five models of airplanes for commercial sale.  The airline that Lauren works for is rapidly expanding and would like to purchase three airplanes of different models to service various routes.  We calculate the number of combinations will she have to analyze.

C^5_3=\frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!}=\frac{5\cdot 4\cdot 3!}{3!\cdot 2\cdot 1}=10

The number of combinations will she have to analyze is  10.

Factorise -75ab² - 15ac
krok68 [10]

Answer:

9) 51 × 10⁻⁵ = 0.00051

10) Cash price = #54,000 × (1 - 0.125) = #47,250

11) -40·p·q÷(-2)² = -10·p·q

12) 0.003 × 0.045 = 1.35 × 10⁻⁴

13) N40°W = 320°

14) The base diameter of the cylinder = √(4 × (700×π cm³/7)/π) = 20 cm

15) The LCM of 2·x²·y, 3·x·y² is 12·x²·y²

16) 636,000 = 6.36 × 10⁵

17) 1/3·π·r²·h₁ = π·r²·h₂

h₂/h₁ = 1/3·π·r²/( π·r²) = 1/3

h₂/12 =  1/3

h₂ = 12/3 = 4 cm, the height of the cylinder = 4 cm

18) The angle = 180 + 45 = 225°

19) The total surface area = 22/7×14²/4 +  22/7 ×14 × 20 = 1034 cm²

20) The number is 58/2 = 29.
