In October 2012, Apple introduced a much smaller variant of the Apple iPad, known as the iPad Mini. Weighing less than 11 ounces

, it was about 50% lighter than the standard iPad. Battery tests for the iPad Mini showed a mean life of 10.25 hours (The Wall Street Journal, October 31, 2012). Assume that battery life of the iPad Mini is uniformly distributed between 8.5 and 12 hours.
a. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less (to 4 decimals)?b. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours (to 4 decimals)?c. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours (to 4 decimals)?d. In a shipment of 100 iPad Minis, how many should have a battery life of at least 9 hours (to nearest whole value)?

Answer:

a) 0.4286 = 42.86% probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less

b) 0.2857 = 28.57% probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours

c) 0.5714 = 57.14% probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours

d) 86 should have a battery life of at least 9 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value X lower than x is given by the following formula.

P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}

The probability of being higher than x is:

P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b-a}

The probability of being between c and d is:

P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d-c}{b-a}

Assume that battery life of the iPad Mini is uniformly distributed between 8.5 and 12 hours.

This means that a = 8.5, b = 12

a. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less (to 4 decimals)?

P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}

P(X \leq 10) = \frac{10 - 8.5}{12 - 8.5} = 0.4286

0.4286 = 42.86% probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less.

b. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours (to 4 decimals)?

P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b-a}

P(X > 11) = \frac{12 - 11}{12 - 8.5} = 0.2857

0.2857 = 28.57% probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours

c. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours (to 4 decimals)?

P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d-c}{b-a}

P(9.5 \leq X \leq 11.5) = \frac{11.5 - 9.5}{12 - 8.5} = 0.5714

0.5714 = 57.14% probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours.

d. In a shipment of 100 iPad Minis, how many should have a battery life of at least 9 hours (to nearest whole value)?

Proportion of iPad Minis with a battery life of at least 9 hours.

P(X > 11) = \frac{12 - 9}{12 - 8.5} = 0.8571

Out of 100:

0.8571*100 = 85.71

To the nearest whole number

86 should have a battery life of at least 9 hours.

Write the sum, and then write an equivalent expression by collecting like terms and removing parentheses whenever possible.
Yanka [14]

Answer:

The sum is t.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The given expression are - 10t and t - 10t

We need to find the sum of the opposite of -10 t and t - 10t.

The opposite of -10 t is 10 t.

10t+(t-10t)

Remove the parenthesis.

10t+t-10t

Simplify the number

10t-10t+t

Use Additive inverse.

t

Hence, the sum is t.

I need help with the perimeter
spin [16.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Perimeter = 2(l + w)

Perimeter = 2(94 + 64)

Perimeter= 2(158) = 361 cm

2) Fabric required = Area

Area = l × b

Area = 94 × 64

Area = 6016 cm²

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The answer is "The threat to internal validity is mortality".

Step-by-step explanation:

It signifies that while in terms of your study, persons were "morning." It usually signifies when people leave the studies. There will be only likely if indeed the experiment lasts a long period that it'll be a substantial danger to validity and reliability because the chance for drops increases. Eight content validity risks are history, maturity, instrument, test, choice, average regress, human engagement, and mortality.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The number of people needed  is n =684  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The population proportion is  p = 0.65

   The margin of error is  E = 0.03

From the question we are told the confidence level is  90% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 90 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.10

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.645

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

       n =[ \frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * p(1-p)

=>    n =[ \frac{1.645 }{0.03} ]^2 * 0.65(1-0.65)

=>    n =684
