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.

What is the measure of _M?
grandymaker [24]

Answer: I think I cn help bt nt sure

Step-by-step explanation:

X° + 52° + 78° = 180°

X° + 130° = 180°

X° + 130° - 130° = 180° - 130 °

X° = 50°

M is <50°

liraira [26]

For rational functions and functions with square roots, the domain can be all real numbers except (1) anything that will make them because the square root of only non-negative values exists and that of negative values does not.

<h3>What are the domain and range of the function?</h3>

The domain of the function includes all possible x values of a function, and the range includes all possible y values of the function.

Let the functions with square roots be f(x) = √x.

The domain of this function is x ≥ 0,

Since the real number system does not exist the square root of negative numbers.

Therefore, For rational functions and functions with square roots, the domain can be all real numbers except (1) anything that will make them because the square root of only non-negative values exists and that of negative values does not.
