Answer:

<em><u>4 toothpicks.</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Kiley had a piece of bamboo skewer that measured 14 3/5 inches long. She wanted to cut it into toothpicks that were each 3 1/5 inches long.

To find the number of toothpicks that Kiley can make from bamboo skewer, we need to divide the length of skewer by length of each toothpick.

Total number of toothpicks = 14 3/5 ÷ 3 1/5

First of all, we will convert our given mixed fractions into improper fractions as:

Total number of toothpicks = 73/5 ÷ 16/5

Dividing a fraction by another fraction is same as multiplying the 1st fraction by the reciprocal of 2nd fraction.

Total number of toothpicks = 73/5 x 5/16

Total number of toothpicks = 73/16

Total number of toothpicks = 4.5625

Therefore, Kiley can make 4 toothpicks.

hope this helps, can i get brainliest please?

A machine that produces ball bearings has initially been set so that the true average diameter of the bearings it produces is .5
lara [203]

Answer:

7.3% of the bearings produced will not be acceptable

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 = 0.499, \sigma = 0.002

Target value of .500 in. A bearing is acceptable if its diameter is within .004 in. of this target value.

So bearing larger than 0.504 in or smaller than 0.496 in are not acceptable.

Larger than 0.504

1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.504.

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

Z = \frac{0.504 - 0.494}{0.002}

Z = 2.5

Z = 2.5 has a pvalue of 0.9938

1 - 0.9938= 0.0062

Smaller than 0.496

pvalue of Z when X = -1.5

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

Z = \frac{0.496 - 0.494}{0.002}

Z = -1.5

Z = -1.5 has a pvalue of 0.0668

0.0668 + 0.0062 = 0.073

7.3% of the bearings produced will not be acceptable
