Answer:

$y=-2x+8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)
Parallel lines always have the same slopes

1) Determine the slope (m)

$y=-2x+1$

The given line has a slope of -2. Because parallel lines always have equal slopes, we know that the line parallel to this would also have a slope of -2. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=-2x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

$y=-2x+b$

Plug in the given point (2,4) to solve for b

$4=-2(2)+b\\4=-4+b$

Add 4 to both sides to isolate b

$4+4=-4+b+4\\8=b$

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 8. Plug this back into $y=-2x+b$ :

$y=-2x+8$

I hope this helps!

The process standard deviation is 0.27, and the process control is set at plus or minus one standard deviation. Units with weigh

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

a) $P(X$

And for the other case:

tex] P(X>10.15)[/tex]

$P(X>10.15)= P(Z > \frac{10.15-10}{0.15}) = P(Z>1)=1-P(Z$

So then the probability of being defective P(D) is given by:

$P(D) = 0.159+0.159 = 0.318$

And the expected number of defective in a sample of 1000 units are:

$X= 0.318*1000= 318$

b) $P(X$

And for the other case:

tex] P(X>10.15)[/tex]

$P(X>10.15)= P(Z > \frac{10.15-10}{0.05}) = P(Z>3)=1-P(Z$

So then the probability of being defective P(D) is given by:

$P(D) = 0.00135+0.00135 = 0.0027$

And the expected number of defective in a sample of 1000 units are:

$X= 0.0027*1000= 2.7$

c) For this case the advantage is that we have less items that will be classified as defective

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: "Motorola used the normal distribution to determine the probability of defects and the number of defects expected in a production process. Assume a production process produces items with a mean weight of 10 ounces. Calculate the probability of a defect and the expected number of defects for a 1000-unit production run in the following situation.

Part a

The process standard deviation is .15, and the process control is set at plus or minus one standard deviation. Units with weights less than 9.85 or greater than 10.15 ounces will be classified as defects."

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(10,0.15)$

Where $\mu=10$ and $\sigma=0.15$

We can calculate the probability of being defective like this:

$P(X$

And we can use the z score formula given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

And if we replace we got:

$P(X$

And for the other case:

tex] P(X>10.15)[/tex]

$P(X>10.15)= P(Z > \frac{10.15-10}{0.15}) = P(Z>1)=1-P(Z$

So then the probability of being defective P(D) is given by:

$P(D) = 0.159+0.159 = 0.318$

And the expected number of defective in a sample of 1000 units are:

$X= 0.318*1000= 318$

Part b

Through process design improvements, the process standard deviation can be reduced to .05. Assume the process control remains the same, with weights less than 9.85 or greater than 10.15 ounces being classified as defects.

$P(X$

And for the other case:

tex] P(X>10.15)[/tex]

$P(X>10.15)= P(Z > \frac{10.15-10}{0.05}) = P(Z>3)=1-P(Z$

So then the probability of being defective P(D) is given by:

$P(D) = 0.00135+0.00135 = 0.0027$

And the expected number of defective in a sample of 1000 units are:

$X= 0.0027*1000= 2.7$

Part c What is the advantage of reducing process variation, thereby causing process control limits to be at a greater number of standard deviations from the mean?

For this case the advantage is that we have less items that will be classified as defective

Which one of the following formulas defines the area, A A , of a square in terms of its perimeter, p ?

pav-90 [236]

A square has 4 sides of equa length

the perimiter is 4 times the side, or P=4s where s=length of 1 side

the area is length times witdth, but since the length=width, area=s² where s is the length of one side

so express A=s² in terms of P when P=4s

solve for s first in P=4s
P=4s
divide both sides by 4
$\frac{P}{4}=s$

subsitute $\frac{P}{4}$ for s in the other eqaution
$A=s^2$
$A=(\frac{P}{4})^2$
$A=\frac{P^2}{16}$

in terms of the perimiter, the area is $A=\frac{P^2}{16}$
