Answer:

46.18% of the items will weigh between 6.4 and 8.9 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the weight of items produced by a machine is normally distributed with a mean of 8 ounces and a standard deviation of 2 ounces.

<em>Let X =  weight of items produced by a machine</em>

The z-score probability distribution for is given by;

                Z = \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean weight = 8 ounces

            \sigma = standard deviation = 2 ounces

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

So, percentage of items that will weigh between 6.4 and 8.9 ounces is given by = P(6.4 < X < 8.9) = P(X < 8.9 ounces) - P(X \leq 6.4 ounces)

   P(X < 8.9) = P( \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{  8.9-8}{2} ) = P(Z < 0.45) = 0.67364  {using z table}

   P(X \leq 70) = P( \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{  6.4-8}{2} ) = P(Z \leq -0.80) = 1 - P(Z < 0.80)

                                                 = 1 - 0.78814 = 0.21186

<em>Now, in the z table the P(Z </em>\leq<em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.45 and x = 0.80 in the z table which has an area of </em>0.67364<em> and </em>0.78814<em> respectively.</em>

Therefore, P(6.4 < X < 8.9) = 0.67364 - 0.21186 = 0.4618 or 46.18%

<em>Hence, 46.18% of the items will weigh between 6.4 and 8.9 ounces.</em>

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4=22

3x=18

x=6

If the total is 22, and you have a number 4 and 3 X's. Then 3x equals 22-4. 3x=18, 18 divided by 3 equals 6. Therefore, x equals 6.

Your company manufactures hot water heaters. The life spans of your product are known to be normally distributed with a mean of
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

You should claim 10.5325 years on your warranty.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 13, \sigma = 1.5

Want's to replace no more than 5% of the products.

This means that the warranty should be 5th percentile, that is, the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05. So X when Z = -1.645.

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

-1.645 = \frac{X - 13}{1.5}

X - 13 = -1.645*1.5

X = 10.5325

You should claim 10.5325 years on your warranty.

How many terms can 5x+9-4b have
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

8x

Step-by-step explanation:

The constants are the numbers that are NOT

attached to anything. In the expression, 3x + 2,

(2) is a constant because it is not attached to

anything. The (3) is not a constant because it

is attached to x, and it is actually a coefficient.
