An HP laser printer is advertised to print text documents at a speed of 18 ppm (pages per minute). The manufacturer tells you th

at the printing speed is actually a Normal random variable with a mean of 17.48 ppm and a standard deviation of 3.25 ppm. Suppose that you draw a random sample of 10 printers.
Using the information about the distribution of the printing speeds given by the manufacturer, find the probability that the mean printing speed of the sample is greater than 18.06 ppm. (Please carry answers to at least six decimal places in intermediate steps. Give your final answer to the nearest three decimal places). Probability (as a proportion)

Answer:

0.288

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 17.48, \sigma = 3.25, n = 10, s = \frac{3.25}{\sqrt{10}} = 1.027740

Find the probability that the mean printing speed of the sample is greater than 18.06 ppm.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 18.06. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{18.06 - 17.48}{1.027740}

Z = 0.56

Z = 0.56 has a pvalue of 0.712

1 - 0.712 = 0.288

The answer is 0.288

Solve the simultaneous equations 4x+8y=-4 2y-5x=23
ad-work [718]

Answer:

x = -4,  y = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify the 1st equation by dividing each term by 4 to get:

x + 2y = -1

-5x + 2y = 23

Subtract to get: 6x = -24

x = -4

find 'y':    2y - 5(-4) = 23

               2y + 20 = 23

               2y = 3

                y = 3/2

The shape of the distribution of the time required to get an oil change at a 10 minute oil change facility is unknown. However,
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For a normal model the sample size has to be equal or greater than 30 so that it can be a normal distribution.

b) Given that:

μ = 11.2 minutes, σ = 4.8 minutes, n = 45

The z score determines how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\For\ a\ sample\ size(n)\\z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }

For x < 10 minutes

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }\\\\ z=\frac{10-11.2}{4.8/\sqrt{45} }= -1.68

Therefore from the normal distribution table, P(x < 10) = P(z < -1.68) =  0.0465
