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.

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 derivative of 4pi and why?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
<span>Answer: The derivative of 4pi (4π) is simply zero. In Calculus, the process of differentiation is taking the limit of the given as the change with respect to a certain variable approaches zero. The derivative indicates the slope of a given function, the rate of change with respect to small increments to a reference axis or variable. As our given, 4π, is simply a constant, it does not change with respect to any infinitesimal increment to any variable; thus its derivative is zero.</span>

Anyone please???????
leva [86]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf B)\: x=\sqrt{17}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Use the Pythagorean Theorem</u>

The equation for the Pythagorean Theorem is \tt a^2+b^2=c^2

* a and b are the lengths of the legs, and c is the hypotenuse.*

(To know which side is the hypotenuse look at longest side which is across the right angle).

a= x, b=8, c=9

\sf a^2+b^2=c^2

Let's Plug in the side lengths:

\sf x^2+8^2=9^2

Evaluate 8^2 and 9^2:

\sf x^2+64=81

Subtract 64 from both sides:

\sf x^2+64-64=81-64

\sf x^2=17

Take the square root of both sides:

\sf x=\sqrt{17}
