let's divide the whole by the sum of its ratios, namely let's 160 ÷ (8+12), and then distribute accordingly.

$\bf \textit{160 at 8:12 ratio}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{8\cdot \frac{160}{8+12}}{12\cdot \frac{160}{8+12}}\implies \cfrac{8(8)}{12(8)}\implies \cfrac{64}{96}$

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

<2 = 120 degrees

<3 = <2 vertical angles

Assuming b is parallel to c

<3 = <6 alternate interior angles

<6 = <7 vertical angles

Rockwell hardness of pins of a certain type is known to have a mean value of 50 and a standard deviation of 1.8. (Round your ans

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

a) 0.011 = 1.1% probability that the sample mean hardness for a random sample of 17 pins is at least 51

b) 0.0001 = 0.1% probability that the sample mean hardness for a random sample of 45 pins is at least 51

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
