When flying from Florida to the Philippines island why does the shortest route pass through Alaska?

1 answer:

7 0

Because the earth is round, the distance seen on a flat map is a lot further than the distance on a globe, because of distortion. So following the circle that goes through these 3 points ( Florida, Alaska and the Philippines) it is a shorter distance to fly over Alaska.

The tread life of a particular brand of tire is a random variable best described by a normal distribution with a mean of 60,000

valina [46]

Answer: 61,750 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The p-value of the tires to outlast the warranty = 0.96

The probability that corresponds to 0.96 from a Normal distribution table is 1.75.

Mean : $\mu=60,000\text{ miles}$

Standard deviation : $\sigma=1000\text{ miles}$

The formula for z-score is given by : -

$z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.75=\dfrac{x-60000}{1000}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x-60000=1750\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=61750$

Hence, the tread life of tire should be 61,750 miles if they want 96% of the tires to outlast the warranty.
