Automated manufacturing operations are quite precise but still vary, often with distribution that are close to Normal. The width

in inches of slots cut by a milling machine follows approximately the N(0.72,0.0012) distribution. The specifications allow slot widths between 0.71975 and 0.72025. What proportion of slots meet these specifications

Answer:

The proportion of slots which meet these specifications is 0.16634 or 16.63%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the width in inches of slots cut by a milling machine follows approximately the N(0.72,0.0012) distribution.

Also, the specifications allow slot widths between 0.71975 and 0.72025.

<u><em>Let X = width in inches of slots cut by a milling machine </em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

                           Z = \frac{  X-\mu}{{\sigma}} }} } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean width = 0.72

            \sigma = standard deviation = 0.0012

           

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

Now, Probability that the specifications allow slot widths between 0.71975 and 0.72025 is given by = P(0.71975 < X < 0.72025)

      P(0.71975 < X < 0.72025)  = P(X < 0.72025) - P(X \leq 0.71975)

     P(X < 0.72025) = P( \frac{  X-\mu}{{\sigma}} }} } < \frac{ 0.72025-0.72}{{0.0012}} }} } ) = P(Z < 0.21) = 0.58317

     P(X \leq 0.71975) = P( \frac{  X-\mu}{{\sigma}} }} } \leq \frac{ 0.71975-0.72}{{0.0012}} }} } ) = P(Z \leq -0.21) = 1 - P(Z < 0.21)

                                                                    = 1 - 0.58317 = 0.41683

<em>So, in the z table the P(Z </em>\leq<em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.21 in the z table which has an area of 0.58317.</em>

Therefore, <em> </em>P(0.71975 < X < 0.72025)  = 0.58317 - 0.41683 = <u>0.16634</u>

Hence, the proportion of slots who meet these specifications is 16.63%.

If b is the midpoint of ac, ab=12x+11 and bc= 14x - 1, find AB
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

AB = 83

Step-by-step explanation:

The mid-point of any segment divides the segment into two equal parts

∵ B is the midpoint of segment AC

→ That means B divides AC into two equal segments AB and BC

∴ AB = BC

∵ AB = 12x + 11

∵ BC = 14x - 1

→ Equate them

∴ 14x - 1 = 12x + 11

→ Subtract 12x from both sides

∵ 14x - 12x - 1 = 12x - 12x + 11

∴ 2x - 1 = 11

→ Add 1 to both sides

∵ 2x - 1 + 1 = 11 + 1

∴ 2x = 12

→ Divide both sides by 2

∵ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{12}{2}

∴ x = 6

→ To find AB substitute x by 6 in its expression

∵ ab = 12x + 11

∵ x = 6

∴ AB = 12(6) + 11

∴ AB = 72 + 11

∴ AB = 83

Mike earns $11.50 an hour <br><br> Write a linear function for the given in formation.
Otrada [13]

Answer: y = 11.50x

Step-by-step explanation:

linear function format:

y = mx + b

since its linear and it starts from 0, b is 0 since there is no addon

y = mx

x is the number of hours, y is the payment incrementing by 11.50 per hour, making 11.50 our gradiant

So y = 11.50x

1 hour = 11.50 * 1

2 hour = 11.50 * 2 and so on

Angelique says finding the absolute value of a number is as same as finding the opposite of the number. For example, |-5 | = 5.
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The aboslute value of a number is how far it is from zero, so the answer can never be a negative number.</em> The <em>absolute value of negative five is positive five. </em>The <em>absolute value of positive five is postive five.</em> If <em>Angelique</em> was to do the <em>opposite value of positive five, she would answer negantive five, which is incorrect.</em>

Hope this helps!
