Steel rods are manufactured with a mean length of 29 centimeter (cm). Because of variability in the manufacturing process, the l

engths of the rods are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.07 cm. (a) What proportion of rods has a length less than 28.9 cm? (b) b) Any rods that are shorter than 24.84 cm or longer than 25.16 cm are discarded. What proportion of rods will be discarded?

Solution :

Given data :

The mean length of the steel rod = 29 centimeter (cm)

The standard deviation of a normally distributed lengths of rods = 0.07 centimeter (cm)

a). We are required to find the proportion of rod that have a length of less than 28.9 centimeter (cm).

Therefore, P(x < 28.9) = P(z < (28.9-29) / 0.07)

                                    = P(z < -1.42)

                                   = 0.0778

b). Any rods which is shorter than 24.84 cm or longer than 25.16 cm that re discarded.

Therefore,

P (x < 24.84 or 25.16 < x) = P( -59.42 < z or -54.85)

                                         = 1.052

ki77a [65]

Answer:

C. Mean

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that obtaining a measure of intelligence from a group of college students would likely yield a somewhat normal distribution (that is, there shouldn't be any extreme outliers).

We know that median is best measure of central tendency with extreme outliers, while mean is the best measure of central tendency when the data is normally distributed.

Mode is used when data are measured in a nominal scale.

Since the measure of intelligence from a group of college students yield a somewhat normal distribution, therefore, mean will be the best measure of central tendency.

What is the value of y?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

y = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the sum of the angles of a triangle are 180

72+y+y = 180

Combine like terms

72 + 2y = 180

Subtract 72 from each side

72-72 +2y = 180-72

2y = 108

Divide each side by 2

2y/2 = 108/2

y = 54

A poster is shown below: A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled 12 feet. The width of the rectangle is lab
klemol [59]
It would be 7.5ft by 30ft
Because I just multiplied 12 by 5/2 which is 30
Then I multiplied 3 by 5/2 which is 7.5

If the first step in the solution of the equation -9 + x = 5x - 7 is "subtract x," then what would the next step be ?
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

-1/2=x

Step-by-step explanation:

-9 + x = 5x - 7

     -x      -x

-9=4x-7

+7         +7

-2=4x

-2/4 =4x/4

-1/2=x

Which molecule activates light reactions
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The light-dependent reactions use light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis: the energy storage molecule ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH. In plants, the light reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes of organelles called chloroplasts.
