Making handcrafted pottery usually takes two major steps:wheel throwing and firing. The time of wheel throwing and thetime of fi

ring are normally distributed random variables with meansof 40 min and 60 min and standard deviations of 2 min. and 3 min,respectively.
(a) What is the probability that a piece of pottery will befinished within 95 minutes?


(b) What is the probability that it will take longer than 110minutes?

Answer:

a) P(R

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(z

b) P(R>110)=P(\frac{R-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{110-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{110-100}{3.606})=P(Z>2.774)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(z>2.774)=1-P(Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the time for the step 1 and Y the time for the step 2, we define the random variable R= X+Y for the total time and the distribution for R assuming independence between X and Y is:

R \sim N(40+60 = 100,\sqrt{2^2 +3^2}= 3.606 s)  

Where \mu=65.5 and \sigma=2.6

We are interested on this probability

P(R

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{R-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(R

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(z

Part b

P(R>110)=P(\frac{R-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{110-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{110-100}{3.606})=P(Z>2.774)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(z>2.774)=1-P(Z

Given Information:  

Mean = μ = 40 + 60 = 100 minutes  

Standard deviation = σ = 2² + 3² = 13 minutes  

Required Information:  

a. P(X < 95) = ?

b. P(X > 110) = ?

Answer:  

a. P(X < 95) = 0.0823

b. P(X > 110) = 0 .0028

Explanation:  

a)

Let random variable X represents the time in minutes of wheel throwing and firing.

The probability that a piece of pottery will be finished within 95 minutes means,

P(X < 95) = P(Z < (x - μ)/√σ)  

P(X < 95) = P(Z < (95 - 100)/√13)  

P(X < 95) = P(Z < -1.39)  

The z-score corresponding to -1.39 is 0.0823

P(X < 95) = 0.0823

Therefore, there is 8.23%  probability that a piece of pottery will be finished within 95 minutes.

b)

P(X > 110) = 1 - P(X < 110)  

P(X > 110) = 1 - P(X < (x - μ)/√σ)

P(X > 110) = 1 - P(X < (110 - 100)/√13)

P(X > 110) = 1 - P(X < 2.77)

The z-score corresponding to 2.77 is 0.9972

P(X > 110) = 1 - 0.9972

P(X > 110) = 0 .0028

Therefore, there is 0.28%  probability that a piece of pottery will take longer than 110 minutes.

Answer:

The graph of function g is the graph of function f shifted 6 units up.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 2^x

g(x) =2^x + 6

Required

Compare g(x) to f(x)

Substitute f(x) = 2^x in g(x) =2^x + 6

g(x) = f(x) + 6

<em>This implies that f(x) is shifted 6 units upward to give g(x)</em>

What is the best approximation for the perimeter of a semicircle with a dimeter of 12cm?
taurus [48]
Answer is choice B: the circumference of a circle is the same as perimeter and is defined by πd (or pi times diameter) We can cut this in half because we are working with a semicircle: so we have 6π which approximates to the value in answer when using 3.14 for pi Woops: forgot to add the diameter of 12 so we would have 30.84
