Suppose a large shipment of microwave ovens contained 12% defectives. If a sample of size 474 is selected, what is the probabili

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

$P(\hat p>0.14)$

And using the z score given by:

$z = \frac{\hat p -\mu_p}{\sigma_p}$

Where:

$\mu_{\hat p} = 0.12$

$\sigma_{\hat p}= \sqrt{\frac{0.12*(1-0.12)}{474}}= 0.0149$

If we find the z score for $\hat p =0.14$ we got:

$z = \frac{0.14-0.12}{0.0149}= 1.340$

So we want to find this probability:

$P(z>1.340)$

And using the complement rule and the normal standard distribution and excel we got:

$P(Z>1.340) = 1-P(Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the proportion of interest given $p =0.12$ . And we have a sample size selected n = 474

The distribution of $\hat p$ is given by:

$\hat p \sim N (p , \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

We want to find this probability:

$P(\hat p>0.14)$

And using the z score given by:

$z = \frac{\hat p -\mu_p}{\sigma_p}$

Where:

$\mu_{\hat p} = 0.12$

$\sigma_{\hat p}= \sqrt{\frac{0.12*(1-0.12)}{474}}= 0.0149$

If we find the z score for $\hat p =0.14$ we got:

$z = \frac{0.14-0.12}{0.0149}= 1.340$

So we want to find this probability:

$P(z>1.340)$

And using the complement rule and the normal standard distribution and excel we got:

$P(Z>1.340) = 1-P(Z$

5. Based on recent results, scores on the SAT test are normally distributed with a mean of 1511 and a standard deviation of 312.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The actual SAT score is 2024.

The equivalent ACT score is 29.49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

SAT score that is in the 95th percentile

Scores on the SAT test are normally distributed with a mean of 1511 and a standard deviation of 312, which means that $\mu = 1511, \sigma = 312$

95th percentile is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95, so X when Z = 1.645. The score is:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.645 = \frac{X - 1511}{312}$

$X - 1511 = 1.645*312$

$X = 2024$

The actual SAT score is 2024.

Equivalent ACT score:

The equivalent ACT score is the 95th percentile of ACT scores.

Scores on the ACT test are normally distributed with a mean of 21.1 and a standard deviation of 5.1, which means that $\mu = 21.1, \sigma = 5.1$ . So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.645 = \frac{X - 21.1}{5.1}$

$X - 21.1 = 1.645*5.1$

$X = 29.49$

The equivalent ACT score is 29.49.

A water tank is being filled by pumps at a constant rate. The volume of water in the tank V, in gallons, is given by the equatio

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

65 gallons per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The total volume of the tank at any given time is given by the equation:

V(t) = 65t + 280

In order to find the rate of change of volume, we can simply differentiate this equation with respect to time. This will give us the rate of change of the volume or the rate at which water is being pumped into the tank.

Differentiating the above equation we get:

V'(t) = 65

So we can see that the rate at which water is being pumped into the tank is 65 gallons per minute
