Answer:

a) 266 tubes ,  TC_r = $53.2

b) 266 tubes ,  T.Loss = $13.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The sample size of tubes n = 1,000 tubes

- The mean of the sample u = 6.5 oz

- The standard deviation of the sample s.d = 0.8 oz

- Cost of manufacturing a tube C_t = 50 cents

- Cost of refilling a tube C_r = 20 cents

- Profit loss per tube Loss = 5 cents

Find:

a). How many tubes will be found to contain less than 6 ounces? In that case, what will be the total cost of the  refill?

b) How many tubes will be found to contain more than 7 ounces? In that case, what will be the amount of  profit lost?

Solution:

- First we will compute the probability of tube containing less than 6 oz.

- Declaring X : The amount of toothpaste.

Where,                         X ~ N ( 6.5 , 0.8 )

- We need to compute P ( X < 6 oz )?

Compute the Z-score value:

                  P ( X < 6 oz ) =  P ( Z < (6 - 6.5) / 0.8 ) = P ( Z < -0.625 )

Use the Z table to find the probability:

                               P ( X < 6 oz ) = P ( Z < -0.625 ) = 0.266

- The probability that it lies below 6 ounces. The total sample size is n = 1000.

       The number of tubes with X < 6 ounces = 1000* P ( X < 6 oz )

                                                                           = 1000*0.266 = 266 tubes.

- The total cost of refill:

                            TC_r = C_f*(number of tubes with X < 6)

                            TC_r = 20*266 = 5320 cents = $53.2

- We need to compute P ( X > 7 oz )?

Compute the Z-score value:

                  P ( X > 7 oz ) =  P ( Z > (7 - 6.5) / 0.8 ) = P ( Z < 0.625 )

Use the Z table to find the probability:

                               P ( X > 7 oz ) = P ( Z > 0.625 ) = 0.266

- The probability that it lies above 7 ounces. The total sample size is n = 1000.

       The number of tubes with X > 7 ounces = 1000* P ( X > 7 oz )

                                                                           = 1000*0.266 = 266 tubes.

- The total cost of refill:

                            T.Loss = Loss*(number of tubes with X > 7)

                            T.Loss = 5*266 = 1330 cents = $13.30

Help me please ( on the image )
Mrac [35]

Answer:

\frac{\pi}{3} radians

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of hours on a clock = 12

Since, measure of a circle at the center = 360°

Measure of central angle formed by the arc between each number (representing hours) = \frac{360}{12}

                                  = 30°

Central angle formed by the arc intercepted by the hands of the clock at 8:00 = 4 × 30°

        = 120°

Therefore, angle measure in radians = \frac{\pi }{360}\times (120^0)

                                                              = \frac{\pi }{3}

Angle formed by the hands of the clock at 8:00 = \frac{\pi}{3} radians

Cheyenne drove 3000 miles in 75 hours. At this rate, how long will it take her to drive 4000 miles?
lyudmila [28]
Set up a proportion:
\frac{3000}{75}=\frac{4000}{x}
To solve cross multiply:
3000x=300000
divide both sides by 3000:
3000x/3000=300000/3000
x=100

It will take her 100 hours to drive 4000 miles assuming she continues to travel at this rate.
