Answer:

A. 13.9 and 14.1 inches

See explanation below.

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".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the outside diameters of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(14,0.1)  

Where \mu=14 and \sigma=0.1

If we want the middle 68% of the data we need to have on the tails 16% on each one

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

P(X>a)=0.84   (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 0.16 of the area on the left and 0.84 of the area on the right it's z=-0.994. On this case P(Z<-0.994)=0.16 and P(z>-0.994)=0.84

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=-0.994

And if we solve for a we got

a=14 -0.994*0.1=13.9

And since the distribution is symmetrical for the upper limit we can use z = 0.994 and we have:

z=0.994

And if we solve for a we got

a=14 +0.994*0.1=14.1

So the correct answer for this case would be:

A. 13.9 and 14.1 inches

The loudness L(x) measured in decibels, of a sound of intensity x, measured in watts per square meter, is defined as L(x)=10 log
Margaret [11]

If you can find your way through all the smoke of the definition,
you find that an increase of 10 times the intensity is an increase
of 10 dB.

Next, if you can find your way over, under, around, and through
all the speeds and distances of the vehicles, you'll find that you
don't need them.  Right in the middle of the pile, it says "intensity
10 times that of ...".  That right there tells you that the sound of
the truck is 10 dB louder than the sound of the car.

So the car is 70 dB (asked for, and then given), and the truck is 80 dB.
