Answer:

√7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

AC = x

BD = y ; AD = 3 - y

Since, AD = BC

Then BC = 3 - y

Taking △BDC a d applying Pythagoras

Hypotenus² = opposite² + adjacent²

BC² = CD² + BD²

(3 - y)² = (√3)² + y²

9 - 6y + y² = 3 + y²

-6y + y² - y² = 3 - 9

-6y = - 6

y = 1

AD = 3 - y ; AD = 3 - 1 = 2

Taking △ADC

AC² = CD² + AD²

AC² = (√3)² + 2²

AC² = 3 + 4

AC² = 7

AC = √7

The comprehensive strength of concrete is normally distributed with μ = 2500 psi and σ = 50 psi. Find the probability that a ran

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The probability that the diameter falls in the interval from 2499 psi to 2510 psi is 0.00798.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the random variable, $X =$ "Comprehensive strength of concrete". We have information that $X$ is normally distributed with a mean of 2500 psi and a standard deviation of 50 psi (or a variance of 2500 psi). In other words, $X \sim N(2500, 2500)$ .

We want to know the probability of the mean of X or $\bar{X}$ that falls in the interval $[2499;2510]$ . From inference theory we know that :

$\bar{X} \sim N(2500, \frac{2500}{5}) \Rightarrow \bar{X} \sim N(2500,500)$

Now we can find the probability as follows:

$P(2499 \leq \bar{X} \leq 2510) \Rightarrow P(\frac{2499 - 2500}{500} \leq \frac{\bar{X} - 2500}{500} \leq \frac{2499 - 2500}{500} ) \Rightarrow\\\Rightarrow P(-0.002 \leq \frac{\bar{X} - 2500}{500} \leq 0.02 ) \Rightarrow P(-0.002 \leq Z \leq 0.02 )$
