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

Find the area of this parallelogram.<br> 8.7 cm<br> 10.1 cm<br> 16.9 cm
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

A=147.03\text{ cm}^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area for a parallelogram is given by the formula:

A=bh

Where b is the base length and h is the vertical height.

The base length is 16.9 while the vertical height is 8.7. Thus:

A=(16.9)(8.7)

Multiply using a calculator:

A=147.03\text{ cm}^2
