The operation manager at a tire manufacturing company believes that the mean mileage of a tire is 48,564 miles, with a standard

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

0.0091 = 0.91% probability that the sample mean would be less than 48,101 miles in a sample of 281 tires if the manager is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 48564, \sigma = 3293, n = 281, s = \frac{3293}{\sqrt{281}} = 196.44$

What is the probability that the sample mean would be less than 48,101 miles in a sample of 281 tires if the manager is correct?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 48101. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{48101 - 48564}{196.44}$

$Z = -2.36$

$Z = -2.36$ has a pvalue of 0.0091

0.0091 = 0.91% probability that the sample mean would be less than 48,101 miles in a sample of 281 tires if the manager is correct

ratelena [41]

Each of the members must raise at least $69.46.

To start they need to raise $552.50. However, they have already raised 12% of it. They only need to raise 88% of it.

552.50 x 0.88 = 486.2

Divide the remaining amount by 7 to determine how much each individual must raise.

486.2 / 7 = 69.46

Marat540 [252]

Let the temperature at 10am be x, then
x + 8 = 56
x = 56 - 8 = 48 degrees F

Let y be the temperature at 8am, then
y - 2 = 48
y = 48 + 2 = 50 degrees.

A rational number can be written as the ratio of one blank to another and be represented by a repeating or blank decimal. What a

Makovka662 [10]

The answer is a rational number is one integer divided by another, and can be represented in either decimal of fraction form. The explanation behind this is visualize you are using long division to divide one number by one more. You divide, and then you acquire a remainder. Then you carry down a zero (multiply by ten) and divide again. Well, there are only so many balances you could perhaps have. For example, for 5, your choices are 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Sooner or later, you will replicate a remainder, at which fact you will just keep dividing the same method you did last time you saw that remainder -- and that's the reason why it repeats.
