Using the normal distribution, it is found that 2.64% of all the nails produced by this machine are unusable.
In a <em>normal distribution</em> with mean
and standard deviation
, the z-score of a measure X is given by:
- It 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, which is the percentile of X.
In this problem:
- The mean is of 3 inches, hence
.
- The standard deviation is of 0.009 inches, hence
.
Nails that are <u>more than 0.02 inches</u> from the mean are unusable, hence:



The proportion is P(|Z| > 2.22), which is <u>2 multiplied by the p-value of Z = -2.22</u>.
Z = -2.22 has a p-value of 0.0132.
2 x 0.0132 = 0.0264
0.0264 x 100% = 2.64%
2.64% of all the nails produced by this machine are unusable.

Given:
In circle L, measure of angle KLM is 54 degrees and KL = 10 units.
To find:
The length of arc KM.
Solution:
The formula for arc length is:
...(i)
Where, r is the radius of the circle and
is the central angle in degrees.
The measure of KL is 10 units, it means the radius of the circle L is 10 units.
The measure of angle KLM is 54 degrees, it means the measure of central angle on arc KM is 54 degrees.
Putting
in (i), we get



Therefore, the length of arc KM is 9.42 units.
Steps to solve:
6 = 2(y + 2)
~Distribute
6 = (2 * y) + (2 * 2)
~Simplify
6 = 2y + 4
~Subtract 4 to both sides
6 - 4 = 2y + 4 - 4
~Simplify
2 = 2y
~Divide 2 to both sides
2/2 = 2y/2
~SImplify
1 = y
Best of Luck!
