Question 6 The mineral content of a particular brand of supplement pills is normally distributed with mean 490 mg and variance o

f 400. What is the probability that a randomly selected pill contains at least 500 mg of minerals

Answer:

0.3085 = 30.85% probability that a randomly selected pill contains at least 500 mg of minerals

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

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

Mean 490 mg and variance of 400.

This means that \mu = 490, \sigma = \sqrt{400} = 20

What is the probability that a randomly selected pill contains at least 500 mg of minerals?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 500. So

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

Z = \frac{500 - 490}{20}

Z = 0.5

Z = 0.5 has a p-value of 0.6915.

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085

0.3085 = 30.85% probability that a randomly selected pill contains at least 500 mg of minerals

Resuelve el siguiente ejercicio de velocidad. El vector de posición de un móvil es r (t) =2 (t −7) i +12t j, en intervalos de ti
krek1111 [17]

To Find :

Position vector at time t_1  = 5\ s and t_2 = 8\ s.

Solution :

r (t) = 2 (t −7)i + 12t j

Putting t = 5 s and t = 8 s, we get :

r(5) = 2( -2 )i + 60j

r(5) = -4i + 60j

r(8) = 2i + 96j

Now, to find speed differentiating the r(t) w.r.t t :

v=\dfrac{dr}{dt}= \dfrac{d(2(t-7)i + 12tj)}{dt}\\\\v=\dfrac{dr}{dt}= 2i + 12j

Hence, this is the required solution.

How do you find the height and area of this triangle
Doss [256]
Because the triangle is an equilateral triangle, you know that all of the angles are equal to 60°. That means that you can use trigonometry to find the height, which would be sin(60) × 20 = 17.32.

Again, because it is an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal as well, meaning that the base is also 20cm. To find the area of the triangle, we must do (20 × 17.32)/2 = 173.2cm^2, which is the area.

I hope this helps!

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first, add up all the numbers, and you get: 14.

Then, the blueberry has 3 tea bags. So, if there are 14 total bags, with 3 blueberry bags, the answer would be: 3/14.

A tin man has a head that is a cylinder with a cone on top. The height of the cylinder is 12 inches and the height of the cone i
boyakko [2]
First find the volume of the cylinder, then the volume of the cone, and after you can add the two volumes.

Cylinder:
V = π r^2 h
h = 12 inches
r = 4 inches
V = π(4^2)(12)
V = 192π

Cone:
V = 1/3 π r^2 h
h = 6 inches
r = 4 inches
V = 1/3 π (4^2)(6)
V = 32π

Now adding the two volumes, 192π + 32π = 224π cubic inches
