Answer:

none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the answer choices agree that the magnitude of the components is 150/√2 ≈ 106.1. The units of these components should be "mph", the same as the units of the magnitude of the given vector.

We only know the angle with respect to horizontal. We don't know whether that angle is measured with respect to the positive x-axis or the negative x-axis. Both of those are horizontal, and there is nothing in the problem statement that restricts the airplane to be traveling in one direction or the other.

Possible answers are ...

<106.1 mph, -106.1 mph> . . . . . . "horizontal" is +x direction

<-106.1 mph, -106.1 mph> . . . . . "horizontal" is -x direction

(The units are not degrees (°).)

n automatic machine in a manufacturing process is operating properly if the lengths of an important subcomponent are normally di

Answer:

0.3557 = 35.57% probability that one selected subcomponent is longer than 118 cm.

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.

Normally distributed with a mean of 116 cm and a standard deviation of 5.4 cm.

This means that $\mu = 116, \sigma = 5.4$
