The diameters of bolts produced in a machine shop are normally distributed with a mean of 5.725.72 millimeters and a standard de

viation of 0.070.07 millimeters. Find the two diameters that separate the top 5%5% and the bottom 5%5%. These diameters could serve as limits used to identify which bolts should be rejected. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Answer:

Top 5% is 5.84 milliters and the bottom 5% is 5.60 millimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 5.72, \sigma = 0.07

Top 5%:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So X when Z = 1.645

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

1.645 = \frac{X - 5.72}{0.07}

X - 5.72 = 1.645*0.07

X = 5.84

Bottom 5%:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05. So X when Z = -1.645

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

-1.645 = \frac{X - 5.72}{0.07}

X - 5.72 = -1.645*0.07

X = 5.60

Top 5% is 5.84 milliters and the bottom 5% is 5.60 millimeters.

Answer:

The two diameters that separate the top 5% and the bottom 5% are 5.84 and 5.60 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the diameters of bolts produced in a machine shop are normally distributed with a mean of 5.72 millimeters and a standard deviation of 0.07 millimeters.

<em>Let X = diameters of bolts produced in a machine shop</em>

So, X ~ N(\mu=5.72,\sigma^{2} = 0.07^{2})

The z score probability distribution is given by;

         Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean diameter = 5.72 millimeter

            \sigma = standard deviation = 0.07 millimeter

<u>Now, we have to find the two diameters that separate the top 5% and the bottom 5%.</u>

  • Firstly, Probability that the diameter separate the top 5% is given by;

       P(X > x) = 0.05

       P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{x-5.72}{0.07} ) = 0.05

       P(Z > \frac{x-5.72}{0.07} ) = 0.05

<em>So, the critical value of x in z table which separate the top 5% is given as 1.6449, which means;</em>

                 \frac{x-5.72}{0.07}  = 1.6449

               {x-5.72} = 1.6449 \times {0.07}

                        x   = 5.72 + 0.115143 = <u>5.84</u>

  • Secondly, Probability that the diameter separate the bottom 5% is given by;

       P(X < x) = 0.05

       P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{x-5.72}{0.07} ) = 0.05

       P(Z < \frac{x-5.72}{0.07} ) = 0.05

<em>So, the critical value of x in z table which separate the bottom 5% is given as -1.6449, which means;</em>

                 \frac{x-5.72}{0.07}  = -1.6449

               {x-5.72} = -1.6449 \times {0.07}

                        x   = 5.72 - 0.115143 = <u>5.60</u>

Therefore, the two diameters that separate the top 5% and the bottom 5% are 5.84 and 5.60 respectively.

0=5-2x+y<br><br> solve the equation for y.
Makovka662 [10]

Hello,

The answer for y is ) y=2x-5


How i got this?

1: Subtract 5 from both sides

2: add 2x to both sides

3: Divide both sides by -2 (to get y by it self)

4: flip the equation and you have your answer.


Hope this helps.

There is a bag filled with 5 blue, 2 red and 3 green marbles,
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

0.62

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 10 marbles in the bag.

P(blue and not blue) = 5/10 × 5/10 = 25/100

P(red and not red) = 2/10 × 8/10 = 16/100

P(green and not green) = 3/10 × 7/10 = 21/100

P = 25/100 + 16/100 + 21/100

P = 62/100

P = 0.62

Alternatively, you can calculate it this way:

P(both blue) = (5/10)² = 25/100

P(both red) = (2/10)² = 4/100

P(both green) = (3/10)² = 9/100

P = 1 − (25/100 + 4/10 + 9/100)

P = 1 − 38/100

P = 62/100

P = 0.62
