The lengths of nails produced in a factory are normally distributed with a mean of 4.84 centimeters and a standard deviation of

0.05 centimeters. Find the two lengths that separate the top 3% and the bottom 3%. These lengths could serve as limits used to identify which nails should be rejected. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Answer:

Top 3%: 4.934 cm

Bottom 3%: 4.746 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 4.84, \sigma = 0.05

Top 3%

Value of Z when Z has a pvalue of 1 - 0.03 = 0.97. So X when Z = 1.88.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.88 = \frac{X - 4.84}{0.05}

X - 4.84 = 0.05*1.88

X = 4.934

Bottom 3%

Value of Z when Z has a pvalue of 0.03. So X when Z = -1.88.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.88 = \frac{X - 4.84}{0.05}

X - 4.84 = 0.05*(-1.88)

X = 4.746

find a parametric representation of the solution set of the linear equation. (enter your answer as a comma-separated list of equ
Ostrovityanka [42]

To represent the solution set of a linear equation parametrically, we introduce other parameters like s and t for the free variables.

Every linear equation has n - 1 free variables where n is the number of variables.

For x + y + z = 2, we have 3 variables and 3 - 1 = 2 free variables.

First, let y and z be the free variables, we first solve the linear equation for x to get:

x = 2 - y - z

Therefore , the parametric representation of the solution set is given by :

x = 2 - s -t

y = s

z = t
