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

Write a function rule that gives the total cost c(p) of p pounds of sugar if each pound costs $0.42.
julia-pushkina [17]
Since a pound of sugar increases proportionally to the total cost of sugar bought, then the function can be written as:

c(p) = 0.42p

Where: c(p) = total cost of sugar bought
p = pounds of sugar

c(p) is a function of p, because c(p) depends on p.
