Answer:

a) 40.13% probability that a laptop computer can be assembled at this plant in a period of time of less than 19.5 hours.

b) 34.13% probability that a laptop computer can be assembled at this plant in a period of time between 20 hours and 22 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

In this question:

\mu = 20, \sigma = 2

a)Less than 19.5 hours?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 19.5. So

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

Z = \frac{19.5 - 20}{2}

Z = -0.25

Z = -0.25 has a pvalue of 0.4013.

40.13% probability that a laptop computer can be assembled at this plant in a period of time of less than 19.5 hours.

b)Between 20 hours and 22 hours?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 22 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20. So

X = 22

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

Z = \frac{22 - 20}{2}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.8413

X = 20

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

Z = \frac{20 - 20}{2}

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a pvalue of 0.5

0.8413 - 0.5 = 0.3413

34.13% probability that a laptop computer can be assembled at this plant in a period of time between 20 hours and 22 hours.

Brandon purchased a new guitar in 2012. The value of his guitar, t years after he bought it, can be modeled by the function A(t)
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: The rate of change in the value of the guitar is modeled by 0.95, which represents a decrease of 5% per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential decay function:  

A = P (1 - r) t  

Where:  

p = original price

r = decrease rate (decimal form)  

t= years  

A = price after t years  

Replacing with the values given:  

A(t)=145(0.95)t.

Where

0.95 = 1-r

0.95-1 = r

-0.05 =-r

0.05 =r

Converting to percentage form:

0.05 x 100 = 5%

The average fine for entering a National Forest Wilderness without a permit increased from
galina1969 [7]
Fine increase = 78 - 65 = 13
Increase rate = 13/65 x 100% = 20%

Discounted amount = 560 - 476 = 84
Discount rate = 84 / 560 x 100% = 15%
