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:

68.8 sq. inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangular surfaces have sides 2 in by 3 in by 4 in.

So, half perimeter, s = \frac{2 + 3 + 4}{2} = 4.5

So, the area of the triangular face is \sqrt{s(s - 4)(s - 2)(s - 3)} = \sqrt{4.5 \times 0.5 \times 2.5 \times 1.5} = 2.9 sq. inches.

Now, the total surface area of the right triangular prism will be (2.9 × 2) + 7(2 + 3 + 4) = 68.8 sq. inches. (Answer)

If Tanisha has ​$nbsp 100 100 to invest at 66​% per annum compounded semiannuallysemiannually​, how long will it be before she h
Oxana [17]

Answer:

time is 6.76 years

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

amount = $150

payment = $100

rate r = 6%  = 0.06

to find out

time period t

solution

we know it is compounding continuous

so we will apply here formula that is

amount = payment × e^{rt}   ..........1

put here all value we get

amount = payment × e^{rt}  

150 = 100 × e^{0.06t}  

take ln both side

ln 1.5 =  e^{0.06t}  

0.40546 = 0.06t

t = 0.40546 / 0.06

t = 6.76

so time is 6.76 years

A shop has a sale that offers 20% off all price. On the final day they reduce all the sale prices by 25%. Linz buys a radio on t
erastova [34]
Hmmmm is not very clear if the 25% is just 25% of the original price, or of the reduced price, but let's assume is of the reduced price.

say the original price is "x", 20% off that, means the sale price is 80% of the original price, or (80/100) * x, or 0.8x.

then Linz shows up on the last day, and she's got 25% off from that price plus a beanie baby and a free garden hose.

so if the price is reduced by 25%, then the sale price is just 75% of whatever it was, but it was already reduced to 0.8x, what is 75% of 0.8x?

(75/100) * 0.8x, or 0.75 * 0.8x, which is 0.6x, now 0.6 * 100 is 60 to change it to percentage format, or 60% overall percentage reduction from the original price.
