Consider the ski gondola from Question 3. Suppose engineers decide to reduce the risk of an overload by reducing the passenger c

apacity to a maximum of 15 skiers. Assuming the maximum load limit remains at 5,000 lb, what is the probability that a group of 15 randomly selected skiers will overload the gondola

Answer:

The probability that a group of 15 randomly selected skiers will overload the gondola = (3.177 × 10⁻⁵¹)

(almost zero probability showing how almost impossible it is to overload the gondola, therefore showing how very safe the gondola is)

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

A ski gondola carries skiers to the top of the mountain. If the Total weight of an adult skier and the equipment is normally distributed with mean 200 lb and standard deviation 40 lb.

Consider the ski gondola from Question 3. Suppose engineers decide to reduce the risk of an overload by reducing the passenger capacity to a maximum of 15 skiers. Assuming the maximum load limit remains at 5,000 lb, what is the probability that a group of 15 randomly selected skiers will overload the gondola.

Solution

For 15 people to exceed 5000 lb, each person is expected to exceed (5000/15) per skier.

Each skier is expected to exceed 333.333 lb weight.

Probability of one skier exceeding this limit = P(x > 333.333)

This becomes a normal distribution problem with mean = 200 lb, standard deviation = 40 lb

We first standardize 333.333 lbs

The standardized score for any value is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - μ)/σ = (333.333 - 200)/40 = 3.33

To determine the required probability

P(x > 333.333) = P(z > 3.33)

We'll use data from the normal distribution table for these probabilities

P(x > 333.333) = P(z > 3.33) = 1 - P(z ≤ 3.33)

= 1 - 0.99957

= 0.00043

So, the probability that 15 people will now all be above this limit = (probability of one person exceeding the limit)¹⁵ = (0.00043)¹⁵

= (3.177 × 10⁻⁵¹)

(almost zero probability showing how almost impossible it is to overload the gondola, therefore showing how very safe the gondola is)

<h3>Answer: </h3><h3>Overall balance for year 5 after taxes = $1350</h3><h3>The filled out table is shown in the attached image below</h3>

===============================================================

Work Shown:

10% = 10/100 = 0.10

10% of 1000 = 0.10*1000 = 100 is the amount of interest earned in year 1. This goes in the first row of column 1. The overall balance becomes 1000+100 = 1100 after we add on the interest earned. We will write 1100 in row1,column2.

Next, compute the tax: 30% of 100 = 0.30*100 = 30. The 30 will be written in row1,column3. Finally, we subtract the amount taxed (30) from the overall balance in column 2 (which was 1100). So 1100-30 = 1070 will be written in row1,column4.

After finishing row1, we should have these four values: 100, 1100, 30, 1070

----------------------------------------------

Now onto row 2

We earn the same amount in interest because we are not compounding. Write 100 in row2,column1.

The overall balance will be different. Instead of using 1000, we will use 1070 which was the figure in row1,column4. Add the amount of interest earned ($100) onto the updated balance ($1070) to get 1170. Write 1170 in row2,column2

The value in row2,column3 is the same as the value above it. This is because the amount of interest does not change, so the amount taxed doesn't change either. Basically we'll have 30s all the way down column 3. We'll also have 100s all the way down column 1.

Subtract 1170 and 30 to get 1140 which is the balance after taxes for year 2.

------------------------------------------------

Repeat these steps for the third, fourth, and fifth rows and you'll get what you see in the table below.

A digital rain gauge has an outdoor sensor that collects rainfall and transmits data to an indoor display. Assume you produced a
evablogger [386]

Answer:

a. A continuous graph

b. a straight line graph with a gentle positive slope

c. The graph consists of three straight lines attached end to end, with the first segment being an inclined positively sloped graph, the second segment is an horizontal line while the third segment is a gentle positively sloped straight line

Step-by-step explanation:

a. A continuous graph

Given that the rain gauge is a digital rain gauge, the values transmitted to the indoor display are those collected by the outdoor sensor, we have that the output to the transmitter can be any value within a possible and finite range of values, therefore the graph is continuous

b. Whereby it rained at a constant rate of 0.1 inch per hour over 24-hour period, we have;

i) Whereby the graph is the level of water in the rain gauge over a given period of time, the shape of the graph will be a straight line graph with a gentle positive slope of 0.1 the domain will be from 0 to 24 hours, while the range will be from 0 to 2.4 inches

c) i) Given that i) the rain falls at a constant rate of 0.1 inch per hour for 6 hours, and ii) over the next 6 hours it stops raining, after which iii) it rained 0.2 inch for the next 12 hours, we have;

i) In the first part The graph will be a straight line graph with a gentle positive slope of 0.1, up to the point (6, 0.6)

ii) When the rain stops for 6 hours, from the point (6, 0.6) to the point (12, 0.12) the graph will be an horizontal line

iii) From the point (12, 0.12) to the point (24, 0.24), is represented on the graph by a straight  line with a gentle positive slope of 0.2.
