A popular soft drink is sold in 2-liter (2,000-milliliter) bottles. Because of variation in the filling process, bottles have a

mean of 2,000 milliliters and a standard deviation of 20, normally distributed. a. If the process overfills the bottle by more than 50 milliliters, the overflow will cause a machine malfunction. What is the probability of this occurring

Answer:

0.0062 = 0.62% probability of this occurring

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 = 2000, \sigma = 20

a. If the process overfills the bottle by more than 50 milliliters, the overflow will cause a machine malfunction. What is the probability of this occurring

Probability of filling the bottle with more than 2000 + 50 = 2050 milliliters, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 2050. So

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

Z = \frac{2050 - 2000}{20}

Z = 2.5

Z = 2.5 has a pvalue of 0.9938

1 - 0.9938 = 0.0062

0.0062 = 0.62% probability of this occurring

Answer:

  12.0 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem applies:

  (12 cm)² +b² = (17 cm)²

  b² = (289 -144) cm² = 145 cm²

  b = √145 cm ≈ 12.04 cm

  b ≈ 12.0 cm . . . . rounded to 1 decimal place

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

-49

Step-by-step explanation:

it would be this because first we would have to figure out what 6*10 is that why we know what to distribute . so once we figure it out , which is 70 . We would then subtract 14 from 70 . Since 7 is right next to 2 we would then multiply it to get to 14. Once we get that you should get 56, from there you would subtract 56 to 105 , and get your answer.
