Suppose a batch of metal shafts produced in a manufacturing company have a population standard deviation of 1.3 and a mean diame

ter of 208 inches. If 60 shafts are sampled at random from the batch, what is the probability that the mean diameter of the sample shafts would differ from the population mean by more than 0.1 inches

Answer:

54.86% probability that the mean diameter of the sample shafts would differ from the population mean by more than 0.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 208, \sigma = 1.3, n = 60, s = \frac{1.3}{\sqrt{60}} = 0.1678

What is the probability that the mean diameter of the sample shafts would differ from the population mean by more than 0.1 inches

Lesser than 208 - 0.1 = 207.9 or greater than 208 + 0.1 = 208.1. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are equal, so we find one of them and multiply by 2.

Lesser than 207.9.

pvalue of Z when X = 207.9. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{207.9 - 208}{0.1678}

Z = -0.6

Z = -0.6 has a pvalue of 0.2743

2*0.2743 = 0.5486

54.86% probability that the mean diameter of the sample shafts would differ from the population mean by more than 0.1 inches

You would want to divide the minutes to the songs so you can find out how long one song is, but sense there was a remainder you could turn it into a fraction or you could keep diving. In this case you would want to stop. To find the fraction here is a formula the divisor is the denominator, the numerator is the remainder and the whole number is the number you get that is behind the remainder

Evaluate Dx / ^ 9-8x - x2^
Solnce55 [7]
It depends on what you mean by the delimiting carats "^"...

Since you use parentheses appropriately in the answer choices, I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume something like "^x^" stands for \sqrt x.

In that case, you want to find the antiderivative,

\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{\sqrt{9-8x-x^2}}

Complete the square in the denominator:

9-8x-x^2=25-(16+8x+x^2)=5^2-(x+4)^2

Now substitute x+4=5\sin y, so that \mathrm dx=5\cos y\,\mathrm dy. Then

\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{\sqrt{9-8x-x^2}}=\int\frac{5\cos y}{\sqrt{5^2-(5\sin y)^2}}\,\mathrm dy

which simplifies to

\displaystyle\int\frac{5\cos &#10;y}{5\sqrt{1-\sin^2y}}\,\mathrm dy=\int\frac{\cos y}{\sqrt{\cos^2y}}\,\mathrm dy

Now, recall that \sqrt{x^2}=|x|. But we want the substitution we made to be reversible, so that

x+4=5\sin y\iff y=\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x+4}5\right)

which implies that -\dfrac\pi2\le y\le\dfrac\pi2. (This is the range of the inverse sine function.)

Under these conditions, we have \cos y\ge0, which lets us reduce \sqrt{\cos^2y}=|\cos y|=\cos y. Finally,

\displaystyle\int\frac{\cos y}{\cos y}\,\mathrm dy=\int\mathrm dy=y+C

and back-substituting to get this in terms of x yields

\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{\sqrt{9-8x-x^2}}=\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x+4}5\right)+C
