Based on data collected from its production processes, Crosstiles Inc. determines that the breaking strength of its most popular

porcelain tile is normally distributed with a mean of 400 pounds per square inch and a the standard deviation of 12.5 pounds per square inch. Based on the 68-95-99.7 Rule, about what percent of its popular porcelain tile will have breaking strengths greater than 412.5 pounds per square inch?

Answer:

16% of its popular porcelain tile will have breaking strengths greater than 412.5 pounds per square inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the breaking strength of its most popular porcelain tile is normally distributed with a mean of 400 pounds per square inch and a the standard deviation of 12.5 pounds per square inch.

Let X = <u><em>the breaking strength of its most popular porcelain tile</em></u>

SO, X ~ Normal(\mu=400,\sigma^{2}=12.5^{2})

The z score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

                        Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean breaking strength of porcelain tile = 400 pounds per square inch

           \sigma = standard deviation = 12.5 pounds per square inch

Now, probability that the popular porcelain tile will have breaking strengths greater than 412.5 pounds per square inch is given by = P(X > 412.5)

        P(X > 412.5) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{412.5-400}{12.5} ) = P(Z > 1) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1)

                                                               = 1 - 0.84 = <u>0.16</u>

Therefore, 16% of its popular porcelain tile will have breaking strengths greater than 412.5 pounds per square inch.

What is tje equation of the function?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

It is relatively easy to determine whether an equation is a function by solving for y. When you are given an equation and a specific value for x, there should only be one corresponding y-value for that x-value. For example, y = x + 1 is a function because y will always be one greater than x.

How do you write -x+3y=6 in slope intercept form?
Afina-wow [57]

Commenter jdoe said it right: solve for y and leave the rest on the other side.

-x + 3y = 6

3y = 6 + x add x on both sides

3y = x + 6 rearrange to get the x first

y = (x + 6) /3 divide both sides by 3

y = x/3 + 6/3 split the numerator (caution - never split denominators)

y = x/3 + 2 simplify 6/3


Thus the line in slope intercept form of y = mx + b is y = y = \frac{1}{3} x + 2

The sum of two numbers is 12. The difference of the two numbers is 22. Find the two numbers
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

-5 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers (let's just say number a and number b) is 12.

a + b = 12

The difference between the same two numbers (still a and b) is 22.

b - a = 22

(Move variable a to the right side to get the following.)

b = 22 + a

(This way, we can substitute b = 22 + a into the first equation, a + b = 12, and solve.)

a + (22 + a) = 12

a + a + 22 = 12

2a = -10

a = -5

a + b = 12

-5 + b = 12

b = 17
