Answer:

The smallest side is 7inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter side be y.

The medium side is 4 more than the short side i.e

Meduim side = 4 + y

The longest side is 5 times the length of the shortest side i.e

Logest side = 5y.

Perimeter of the triangle = 53 inches

But the perimeter of a triangle is the Sum of all sides i.e

P = small + medium + large

53 = y + (4+y) + 5y

53 = y + 4 + y + 5y

Collect like terms

53 — 4 = 7y

49 = 7y

Divide both side by 7

y = 49/7

y = 7inches

Therefore the smallest side is 7inches

At a cell phone assembly plant, 77% of the cell phone keypads pass inspection. A random sample of 111 keypads is analyzed. Find

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The probability that the proportion of passed keypads is between 0.72 and 0.80 is 0.6677.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes n > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

The mean of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

$\mu_{\hat p}=p$

The standard deviation of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

$\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

Let p = the proportion of keypads that pass inspection at a cell phone assembly plant.

The probability that a randomly selected cell phone keypad passes the inspection is, p = 0.77.

A random sample of n = 111 keypads is analyzed.

Then the sampling distribution of $\hat p$ is:

$\hat p\sim N(p,\ \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})\\\Rightarrow \hat p\sim N (0.77, 0.04)$

Compute the probability that the proportion of passed keypads is between 0.72 and 0.80 as follows:

$P(0.72$

$=P(-1.25$

Thus, the probability that the proportion of passed keypads is between 0.72 and 0.80 is 0.6677.
