In Melanie's Styling Salon, the time to complete a simple haircut is normally distributed with a mean of 25 minutes and a standa

rd deviation of 4 minutes. The slowest quarter of customers will require longer than how many minutes (to the nearest tenth) for a simple haircut?

Answer:

Longer than 27.7 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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 question, we have that:

\mu = 25, \sigma = 4

The slowest quarter of customers will require longer than how many minutes (to the nearest tenth) for a simple haircut?

Longer than the 100 - 25 = 75th percentile of times, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.75. So X when Z = 0.675. So

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

0.675 = \frac{X - 25}{4}

X - 25 = 4*0.675

X = 27.7

So

Longer than 27.7 minutes.

Is it possible for a figure to have 90° rotational symmetry but not 180° rotational symmetry.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Well, It is but not because..rotation symmetry, and a square has -turn (or 90-degree) rotation symmetry. As you may have already observed, many figures have 180-degree rotation symmetry but no other rotation symmetry. A figure has 180-degree rotation symmetry if it looks the same when turned halfway around...Soo yeah..I think I am right, So sorry if I'm wrong.

A consumer organization inspecting new cars found that many had appearance defects (dents, scratches, paint chips, etc.). While
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The expected number of appearance defects in a new car  = 0.64

standard deviation = 0.93(approximately)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

7% had exactly three, 11% exactly two, and 21% only one defect in cars.

Let X be no of defects in a car

P(X=3) = .07 , P(X=2) = .11 , P(X=3) = .21

P(X=0 ) = 1 - .07 - .11 - .21 = 0.61

The expected number of appearance defects in a new car =

E(X) = \nu = = \sum X P(X) =3\times 0.07 + 2\times0.11 + 3\times0.21 + 0\times0.61 = 0.64

\sigma^{2}  = variation of E(X) = \sum (X - \nu) ^{2}P(X) = (3 - 0.64) ^{2}\times0.07 + (2 - 0.64) ^{2}\times0.11 + (1 - 0.64) ^{2}\times0.21 + (0 - 0.64) ^{2}\times0.61

 = (2.36) ^{2}\times0.07 + (1.36) ^{2}\times0.11 + (.36) ^{2}\times0.21 + ( 0.64) ^{2}\times0.61 = 0.8704

standard deviation  =  \sqrt{\sigma^{2}} = \sqrt{0.8704^{2}} = 0.93(approximately)
