Thompson and Thompson is a steel bolts manufacturing company. Their current steel bolts have a mean diameter of 144 millimeters,

and a variance of 49. If a random sample of 50 steel bolts is selected, what is the probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by more than 2.6 millimeters

Answer:

The probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by more than 2.6 mm is 0.0043.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and appropriately huge random samples (n > 30) are selected from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample  means will be approximately normally distributed.

Then, the mean of the distribution of sample mean is given by,

\mu_{\bar x}=\mu

And the standard deviation of the distribution of sample mean  is given by,

\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The information provided is:

<em>μ</em> = 144 mm

<em>σ</em> = 7 mm

<em>n</em> = 50.

Since <em>n</em> = 50 > 30, the Central limit theorem can be applied to approximate the sampling distribution of sample mean.

\bar X\sim N(\mu_{\bar x}=144, \sigma_{\bar x}^{2}=0.98)

Compute the probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by more than 2.6 mm as follows:

P(\bar X-\mu_{\bar x}>2.6)=P(\frac{\bar X-\mu_{\bar x}}{\sigma_{\bar x}} >\frac{2.6}{\sqrt{0.98}})

                           =P(Z>2.63)\\=1-P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by more than 2.6 mm is 0.0043.

A cylinder has a radius of 6 inches and a height of 15 inches. What is the surface area of the cylinder? Express the answer in t
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The surface area for this cylinder is 252*pi square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cylinder can be calculated by using the following formula:

surface area = 2*pi*r² + 2*pi*r*h

Applying the data from the problem, we have:

surface area = 2*pi*(6)² + 2*pi*(6)*15

surface area = 2*pi*36 + 180*pi

surface area = 72*pi + 180*pi

surface area = 252*pi

The surface area for this cylinder is 252*pi square inches.

Aimi is making Valentine’s Day cards for everyone in her class. She plans to use a whole sheet of paper for each of her 6 closes
DaniilM [7]
34 - 6 = 28
28 x 8 = 224

After making the 6 whole sheet of paper cards for her closest friends Aimi will have 28 pieces of paper left.

Since she wants to use 1/8 of a sheet per valentine (think of it as one piece of paper can make 8 valentines) you can do 28 pieces of paper multiplied by 8 which gives you 224 valentines.
