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

Lucas makes a flag it has 6 equal parts five of the parts are red what fraction of the flag is red
deff fn [24]
One part of six parts is red, so just make it a fraction like so: 1/6 because 1 side is red out of six total parts.

Select all of the correct solutions for the following equation
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

(1,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-2=4x-y-1

subtract 2x on both sides

-2=2x-y-1

add y on both sides

y-2=2x-1

add 2 on both sides

y=2x+1

now we can just kinda plug and check.

if you plug in 1, you get 3, so A
