. The time required for a technician to machine a specific component is normally distributed with a mean of 2 hours and a standa

rd deviation of 17 minutes. (a.) What is the probability that the technician can machine one component in 1.5 hours or less? (b.) What is the probability that the technician will require at least 2.75 hours to complete one component? (be sure to work in hours)

Answer:

a) There is a 3.84% probability that the technician can machine one component in 1.5 hours or less.

b) There is a 0.42% probability that the technician will require at least 2.75 hours to complete one component

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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}

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.

In this problem, we have to be careful. The mean is in hours, while the standard deviation is in minutes. I am going to work with both in hours, as the problem states. 17 minutes is 0.283 hours, so:

\mu = 2, \sigma = 0.283

(a.) What is the probability that the technician can machine one component in 1.5 hours or less?

This probability is the pvalue of the Zscore when X = 1.5. So:

Z = \frac{1.5 - 2}{0.283}

Z = \frac{-0.5}{0.283}

Z = -1.77

Z = -1.77 has a pvalue of 0.0384.

This means that there is a 3.84% probability that the technician can machine one component in 1.5 hours or less.

(b.) What is the probability that the technician will require at least 2.75 hours to complete one component?

The pvalue of the score of X = 2.75 is the probability that the technican will require less than 2.75 hours to complete one component. The probability that he will require at least 2.75 hours to complete one component is 1 subtracted by this pvalue. So:

Z = \frac{2.75 - 2}{0.283}

Z = \frac{0.75}{0.283}

Z = 2.65

Z = 2.65 has a pvalue of 0.99598.

This means that the probability that the technican will require at least 2.75 hours to complete one component is 1 - 0.99598 = 0.0042 = 0.42%.

Step-by-step explanation:

It asks you to choose values for w, the width, and evaluate the equation for each. It describes the constraint "the perimeter of 20 units" The perimeter of a rectangle is the length of all the lines of a regtangle.

Or

2L + 2W = 20 reduce this to simplest for by dividing both sides by 2;

L + W = 10, so the length plus the width is 10. Rearrange it to be W = 10 - L. Values of W can range from 1 to 9. Now sove for a few points in the function.

f(W) = 10W - W^2

3; 10(3) - 3^2 = 30 - 9 = 21.

If we look at the constraint, L = 10 - W, when the width is 3 the length must be 7. The area of a rectangle is L x W, 3 x 7 = 21. That checks against the function.

Solve for additional points.

4; 10(4) - 4^2 = 40 - 16 = 24.

If W is 4 the L is 6 and 4 x 6 = 24

Gravity pulls the metal down at 10 N, but the metal pieces RISES! At least how much force is needed to make it move upward?
prisoha [69]

Answer: Greater than 10 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Gravity force on metal is 10 N

But the metal piece is rising i.e. there must be an upward force greater than 10 N

Suppose the force is F

So, we can write

\Rightarrow F>10\ N

Any force greater than 10 N is sufficient for the metal to move upwards

The greater the amount of force faster will be the movement
