The diameters of apples from a certain farm follow the normal distribution with mean 4 inches and standard deviation 0.4 inch. A

pples can be size-sorted by being made to roll over mesh screens. First the apples are rolled over a screen with mesh size 3.5 inches. This separates out all the apples with diameters less than 3.5 inches. Second, the remaining apples are rolled over a screen with mesh size 4.3 inches. Find the proportion of apples with diameters less than 3.5 inches.

Answer:

P = 10%

Explanation:

Let,

  • µ = mean of the population = 4 inches
  • σ = standard deviation = 0.4 inches
  • X= a random variable that gives apple’s diameter
  • P [X < 3.5] = P-value is the probability of apples which will be separated after passing through the mesh screen

After putting all the values in the formula, we will find the value of Z-score from the chart.

P [X < 3.5]      = P [ \frac{X-4}{0.4} < \frac{3.5-4}{0.4} ]

P [Z < -1.25]    = 0.09680

About 10% of the apples possess diameters less than 3.5 inches.

Answer:

The probability for the proportion of apples with diameters less than 3.5 inches is 0.1056.

Explanation:

For a normal distribution, z score is calculated using this formula:  (X-μ)/σx

Where Mean, μ = 4

Standard deviation, σ = 0.400

The probability for the proportion of apples with diameters less than 3.5 inches is expressed below:

Probability = P(X<3.5)

                  = P(Z<-1.25)

Probability  = 0.1056

If a small sports car collides head-on with a massive truck, which vehicle experiences the greater impact force? Which vehicle e
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Small sports car.

Explanation:

Lets take

mass of the small car = m

mass of the truck = M

As we know that when car collide with the massive truck then due to change in the moment of the car both car as well as truck will feel force.We also know that from Third law of Newton's ,it states that every action have it reaction with same magnitude but in the opposite direction.

Therefore

F = m a

a=Acceleration of the car

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

F= M a'

a'=Acceleration of the massive truck

a'=\dfrac{F}{M}

Here given that M > m that is why a > a'

Therefore car will experiences more acceleration.

What happens to the current as we increase the amount of stepping of our transformer? Does this help explain why the primary was
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Current will decrease.

Explanation:

When we increase the number of stepping in transformer, the voltage will increase as its is directly proportional to the number of turn of stepping. Thus as the voltage will increase, current will decrease. As per the equation of ideal transformer,   E1 / E2 = I2 / I1

E1 and E2 are the voltages in primary and secondary winding and I1 and I2 are the current.

As the number of turns will be increased more inevitable losses will be generated that dissipates heat thus warming the primary.

Though the conservation of energy is obeyed but losses occur in this scenario hence step-up transformers cannot be used to create free energy.
