The lengths of nails produced in a factory are normally distributed with a mean of 3.34 centimeters and a standard deviation of

0.07 centimeters. Find the two lengths that separate the top 3% and the bottom 3%. These lengths could serve as limits used to identify which nails should be rejected. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Answer:

3.47 and 3.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the nails length be X

X \sim N(3.34,0.07^2)

Value let separated the top 3% is T and for bottom it would be B

P(X < T)= 0.97

Now converting, we get

P(Z < \frac{T-3.34}{0.07})= 0.97

Based on the normal standard tables, we get

P(Z < 1.881)= 0.97

Now compare these two above equations

\frac{T-3.34}{0.07} = 1.881 \\\\ T = 1.881 \times 0.07 + 3.34 \\\\ = 3.47

So for top 3% it is 3.47

Now for bottom we applied the same method as shown above

P(Z < \frac{B-3.34}{0.07})= 0.03

Based on the normal standard tables, we get

P(Z < -1.881)= 0.03

Now compare these two above equations

\frac{B-3.34}{0.07} = -1.881

= -1.881 \times 0.07 + 3.34 \\\\ = 3.21

hence, for bottom it would be 3.21

Find the value of x and each angle if m angle SOP= (7y-2) and m angle SOR = (5y+14)
Semmy [17]

Answer:

x = 14

m∠SOP = (7x - 2)° = 96°

m∠SOR = (5x + 14) = 84°

Step-by-step explanation:

`From the given picture,

Angle SOP and angle SOR are the linear pairs.

Therefore, sum of these angles will be equal to to 180°.

m∠SOP + m∠SOR = 180° -----(1)

Since, m∠SOP = (7x - 2)° and m∠SOR = (5x + 14)°

[There is a misprint in this question. There should be x in place of y in the measures of the angles]

By substituting these values in the equation (1),

(7x - 2) + (5x + 14) = 180

12x + 12 = 180

12x = 180 - 12

12x = 168

x = \frac{168}{12}

x = 14

m∠SOP = (7x - 2)° = 96°

m∠SOR = (5x + 14) = 84°

Levart [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

Any known 0 number with exponent 0 is known as undefined

If 2^x = 16, then the value of x is 4

Writing separated multiplication of numbers in short form is called product of powers property

If base is negative and exponent is odd the expression has negative value
