A company selling light bulbs claims in its advertisements that its light bulbs’ average life is 1000 hours. In fact, the life s

pan of these light bulbs is normally distributed with a mean of 1000 hours and a standard deviation of 100 hours.Find the probability that a randomly chosen light bulb will last less than 900 hours.

Answer:

15.87%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The mean (μ) = 1000 hours, the standard deviation (σ) = 100 hours.

The z score provides a means of measurement in statistics to determine the variation of a raw score from the mean. The z score is given as:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

To find that a randomly chosen light bulb will last less than 900 hours:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{9000-1000}{100}=-1$

Therefore, P(x < 900) = P(z < -1) = 0.1587 = 15.87%

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Given :}}}}}}$

★ Sanya has a piece of land which is in the shape of a rhombus.

★ She wants her one daughter and one son to work on the land and produce different crops, for which she divides the land in two equal parts.

★ Perimeter of land = 400 m.

★ One of the diagonal = 160 m.

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{To \: Find :}}}}}}$

★ Area each of them [son and daughter] will get.

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}}}}$

Let, ABCD be the rhombus shaped field and each side of the field be $x$

[ All sides of the rhombus are equal, therefore we will let the each side of the field be $x$ ]

Now,

• Perimeter = 400m

$\longrightarrow \tt AB+BC+CD+AD=400m$

$\longrightarrow \tt x + x + x + x=400$

$\longrightarrow \tt 4x=400$

$\longrightarrow \tt \: x = \dfrac{400}{4}$

$\longrightarrow \tt x= \red{100m}$

$\therefore$ Each side of the field = <u>100m</u><u>.</u>

Now, we have to find the area each [son and daughter] will get.

So, For $\triangle$ ABD,

Here,

• a = 100 [AB]

• b = 100 [AD]

• c = 160 [BD]

$\therefore \tt Simi \: perimeter \: [S] = \boxed{ \sf \dfrac{a + b + c}{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \tt S = \dfrac{100 + 100 + 160}{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt S = \cancel{ \dfrac{360}{2}}$

$\longrightarrow \tt S = 180m$

Using <u>herons formula</u><u>,</u>

$\star \tt Area \: of \: \triangle = \boxed{\bf{{ \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c) } }}} \star$

where

• s is the simi perimeter = 180m

• a, b and c are sides of the triangle which are 100m, 100m and 160m respectively.

<u>Putt</u><u>ing</u><u> the</u><u> values</u><u>,</u>

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{180(180 - 100)(180 - 100)(180 - 160) }$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{180(80)(80)(20) }$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{180 \times 80 \times 80 \times 20 }$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{9 \times 20 \times 20 \times 80 \times 80}$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{ {3}^{2} \times {20}^{2} \times {80}^{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = 3 \times 20 \times 80$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \red{ 4800 \: {m}^{2} }$

Thus, area of $\triangle$ ABD = <u>4800 m²</u>

As both the triangles have same sides

So,

Area of $\triangle$ BCD = 4800 m²

<u>Therefore, area each of them [son and daughter] will get = 4800 m²</u>

What is the answer to thisss?

Kryger [21]

The value of x is 14

<h3>How to solve for x?</h3>

From the question, the lines from the center of the circle to the chords have equal measures of 9 units

This line divides a chord into equal segments, where each segment is 7 units

So, we have:

x = 7 + 7

Evaluate

x = 14

Hence, the value of x is 14
