Answer:
μ = 5.068 oz
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal distribution formula to use the table attached
Z = (x - μ)/σ
where μ is mean, σ is standard deviation, Z is on x-axis and x is a desired point.
98% of 6-oz. cups will not overflow means that the area below the curve is equal to 0.49; note that the curve is symmetrical respect zero, so, 98% of the cases relied between the interval (μ - some value) and (μ + some value)].
From table attached, area = 0.49 when Z = 2.33. From data, σ = 0.4 oz and x = 6 oz (maximum capacity of the cup). Isolating x from the formula gives
Z = (x - μ)/σ
2.33 = (6 - μ)/0.4
μ = 6 - 2.33*0.4
μ = 5.068
This means that with a mean of 5 oz and a standard deviation of 0.4 oz, the machine will discharge a maximum of 6 oz in the 98% of the cases.
Answer:
5507.79 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the height of the mountain, we can draw triangles as in the image attached.
Let's call the height of the mountain 'h', and the distance from the first point (31 degrees) to the mountain 'x'.
Then, we can use the tangent relation of the angles:
tan(34) = h/x
tan(31) = h/(x+1000)
tan(31) is equal to 0.6009, and tan(34) is equal to 0.6745, so:
h/x = 0.6745 -> x = h/0.6745
using this value of x in the second equation:
h/(x+1000) = 0.6009
h/(h/0.6745 + 1000) = 0.6009
h = 0.6009 * (h/0.6745 + 1000)
h = 0.8909*h + 600.9
0.1091h = 600.9
h = 600.9 / 0.1091 = 5507.79 feet
