Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) warn the driver when the tire pressure of the vehicle is 28% below the target pressure.

Suppose the target tire pressure of a certain car is 28 psi (pounds per square inch.)
(a) At what psi will the TPMS trigger a warning for this car? (Round your answer to 2 decimal place.)



When the tire pressure is
below

20.16
psi.



(b) Suppose tire pressure is a normally distributed random variable with a standard deviation equal to 3 psi. If the car’s average tire pressure is on target, what is the probability that the TPMS will trigger a warning? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)



Probability



(c) The manufacturer’s recommended correct inflation range is 26 psi to 30 psi. Assume the tires’ average psi is on target. If a tire on the car is inspected at random, what is the probability that the tire’s inflation is within the recommended range? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The monitoring system warn the driver when the tire pressure of the vehicle is 28% below target pressure.

Be X: target tire pressure of a certain car (pounds per square inch)

a)

X= 28 psi

If the monitoring system will warn the driver when the pressure is 28% below the target pressure: X-0.28X

First step, you have to calculate the 28% of 28psi

28*0.28= 7.84

Second step, is to subtract the calculated 28% to the target pressure:

28 - 7.84= 20.16

The TPMS will trigger a warning at 20.16 psi.

b)

If X~N(μ;σ²)

μ= 28psi (since the average is on target, then the target pressure for the car will be the average value of the distribution)

σ= 3psi

P(X≤20.16)

The standard normal distribution is tabulated. Any value of any random variable X with normal distribution can be "converted" by subtracting the variable from its mean and dividing it by its standard deviation.

So to calculate each of the asked probabilities, you have to first, "transform" the value of the variable to a value of the standard normal distribution Z, then you use the standard normal tables to reach the corresponding probability.

Z= (X-μ)/σ= (20.16-28)/3= -2.61

Now you have to look for the corresponding value of probability using the Z-table. Since the value is negative you have to the use the left entry of the Z-table, in the first column you'll find the integer and first decimal of the value -2.6- and in the first row you'll find the second decimal value -.-1

The value of probability that corresponds to -2.61 is:

P(Z≤-2.61)= 0.005

c)

You have to calculate the probability of inspecting a tire at random and it being inflated within recommended range, symbolically this is:

P(30≤X≤26)= P(X≤30)-P(X≤26)

Calculate both Z values:

Z= (30-28)/3= 0.67

Z= (26-28)/3= -0.67

P(Z≤0.67)-P(Z≤-0.67)= 0.749 - 0.251= 0.498

The probability of the tire being inflated within recommended inflation range is 0.498.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

398,765 books were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

How to get the answer:

1) Identify the given

  32,300 is percentage

  8.1 % is rate

  base (b) is missing

2) Solve

   b= p/r

   b= 32,300 / 8.1% or 0.081

   b= 398,765

3) Check

   398,765 x 8.1% = 32,299.97 or 32,300

kifflom [539]
They tell you that the length is 7 inches and that it is 2 inches more than the width therefore you can conclude that: length = 7 and the width = 5
you can plug the values given into the formula listed below:

A = lw
A = 7 x 5
A = 35

hope this helps :)

Answer: 10 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide the shape along the y-axis to get 2 separate triangles. If we find the area of each and add them up, we can get the total area of the figure.

We can get each triangle's area using the formula A = \frac{1}{2}bh

<h3>Left Triangle</h3>

base length - 4 units

height - 4 units

A = \frac{1}{2}(4)(4)

A=\frac{1}{2}(16)

A =8\hspace{0.1cm}units^2

<h3>Right Triangle</h3>

base length - 2 units

height - 2 units

A = \frac{1}{2}(2)(2)

A=\frac{1}{2}(4)

A=2\hspace{0.1cm}units^2

Total = 8 units² + 2 units² = 10 units²
