The tensile strength of a metal part is normally distributed with mean 40 pounds and standard deviation 5 pounds. If 50,000 part

s are produced, how many would you expect to fail to meet a minimum specification limit of 35-pounds tensile strength? How many would have a tensile strength in excess of 48 pounds?

Answer:

a) how many would you expect to fail to meet a minimum specification limit of 35-pounds tensile strength?

7933 parts

b) How many would have a tensile strength in excess of 48 pounds?

2739.95 parts

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.

a) how many would you expect to fail to meet a minimum specification limit of 35-pounds tensile strength?

z = (x-μ)/σ

x = 35 μ = 40 , σ = 5

z = 35 - 40/5

= -5/-5

= -1

Determining the Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<35) = 0.15866

Converting to percentage = 15.866%

We are asked how many will fail to meet this specification

We have 50,000 parts

Hence,

15.866% of 50,000 parts will fail to meet the specification

= 15.866% of 50,000

= 7933 parts

Therefore, 7933 parts will fail to meet the specifications.

b) How many would have a tensile strength in excess of 48 pounds?

z = (x-μ)/σ

x = 48 μ = 40 , σ = 5

z = 48 - 40/5

z = 8/5

z = 1.6

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<48) = 0.9452

P(x>48) = 1 - P(x<48)

1 - 0.9452

= 0.054799

Converting to percentage

= 5.4799%

Therefore, 5.4799% will have an excess of (or will be greater than) 48 pounds

We are asked, how many would have a tensile strength in excess of 48 pounds?

This would be 5.4799% of 50,000 parts

= 5.4799% × 50,000

= 2739.95

Therefore, 2739.95 parts will have a tensile strength excess of 48 pounds

Cheryl climbed a set of stairs and stopped at the middle step. She then walked down 2 steps, up 4 steps, down 3 steps, and up 5
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

There were 8 total steps

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so we start in the middle.

-2 + 4 = 2. We're back in the middle.

2 - 3 = -1. One away from the middle.

-1 + 5 = 4. Now you're at the top.

4 x 2 = 8

If there are 9 stars for every 2 hearts, how many stars for 4 hearts?
Archy [21]

Answer:

18 stars

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

9 stars           x

---------    = -----------

2 hearts        4 hearts

Using cross products

9*4 = 2x

36 = 2x

Divide by 2

36/2 =2x/2

18 =x

18 stars

The height of a sunflower is normally distributed with a mean of 14.2 feet and a standard deviation of 2.15. What is the probabi
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

0.153

Step-by-step explanation:

Chjmk

In this question, we are asked to calculate the probability of selecting a sunflower greater than a particular height.

What to do in this case is to first find the z-score based on this information given.

Mathematically,

Z-score = x- mean/standard deviation

Here, z-score will have a value of;

(16.4-14.2)/2.15 = 1.023

Therefore,

P(height >16.4ft) = P(Zscore >1.023) = 1-Fz(1.023) = 0.153
