Pedro is doing math exercises from a software program he recently purchased. In the program, you have to get at least 70% of the

problems in an exercise right in order to gain proficiency. So far, Pedro answered one question, and he didn't get it right. Suppose he answers 75% of the following q questions correctly and gains proficiency in the exercise. Write an inequality in terms of q that models the situation.

The inequality would be
0.75q ≥ 0.70(q+1)

q is defined as the number of questions he answers after the first one.  We are told he gets 75% of those correct; 75%=75/100=0.75.  This gives us 0.75q.

Since he gains proficiency on the exercises, the total number he gets correct has to be at least 70%.  This means the inequality would have the symbol greater than or equal to, as it cannot be less and have him gain proficiency.

He has already answered 1 question and answers q more; this gives us a total of q+1.  Since he gains proficiency, the cutoff was 70%; 70%=70/100=0.70.  This gives us the expression 0.70(q+1).

Our total inequality would then be 0.75q ≥ 0.70(q+1)

In a process that manufactures bearings, 90% of the bearings meet a thickness specification. A shipment contains 500 bearings. A
vredina [299]

Answer:

c) P(270≤x≤280)=0.572

d) P(x=280)=0.091

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of bearings have a proportion p=0.90 of satisfactory thickness.

The shipments will be treated as random samples, of size n=500, taken out of the population of bearings.

As the sample size is big, we will model the amount of satisfactory bearings per shipment as a normally distributed variable (if the sample was small, a binomial distirbution would be more precise and appropiate).

The mean of this distribution will be:

\mu_s=np=500*0.90=450

The standard deviation will be:

\sigma_s=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{500*0.90*0.10}=\sqrt{45}=6.7

We can calculate the probability that a shipment is acceptable (at least 440 bearings meet the specification) calculating the z-score for X=440 and then the probability of this z-score:

z=(x-\mu_s)/\sigma_s=(440-450)/6.7=-10/6.7=-1.49\\\\P(z>-1.49)=0.932

Now, we have to create a new sampling distribution for the shipments. The size is n=300 and p=0.932.

The mean of this sampling distribution is:

\mu=np=300*0.932=279.6

The standard deviation will be:

\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{300*0.932*0.068}=\sqrt{19}=4.36

c) The probability that between 270 and 280 out of 300 shipments are acceptable can be calculated with the z-score and using the continuity factor, as this is modeled as a continuos variable:

P(270\leq x\leq280)=P(269.5

d) The probability that 280 out of 300 shipments are acceptable can be calculated using again the continuity factor correction:

P(X=280)=P(279.5
