Manufacture of a certain component requires three different machining operations. Machining time for each operation has a normal

distribution, and the three times are independent of one another. The mean values are 20, 15, and 30 min, respectively, and the standard deviations are 1, 2, and 1.5 min, respectively. What is the probability that it takes at most 1 hour of machining time to produce a randomly selected component

Answer:

0.0314 = 3.14% probability that it takes at most 1 hour of machining time to produce a randomly selected component

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Sum of normal variables:

When normal variables are added, the mean is the sum of the means while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

The mean values are 20, 15, and 30 min, respectively:

This means that \mu = 20 + 15 + 30 = 65

The standard deviations are 1, 2, and 1.5 min, respectively.

This means that \sigma = \sqrt{1^2 + 2^2 + 1.5^2} = 2.6926

What is the probability that it takes at most 1 hour of machining time to produce a randomly selected component?

Mean and standard deviation are in minutes, so this is the pvalue of Z when X = 60.

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

Z = \frac{60 - 65}{2.6926}

Z = -1.86

Z = -1.86 has a pvalue of 0.0314

0.0314 = 3.14% probability that it takes at most 1 hour of machining time to produce a randomly selected component

Answer:

  • Susan paid $2220 more

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Use the interest formula:</u>

  • I = Prt, where P - amount of loan, r- interest rate, t- time in years

<u>Robert:</u>

  • I = 30000*(4.9/100)*4 = 5880

<u>Susan:</u>

  • I = 30000*(4.5/100)*6 = 8100

<u>Difference in amounts of interest:</u>

  • 8100 - 5880 = 2220

<span><span> x2-12x-45=0</span> </span>Two solutions were found :<span> x = 15 x = -3</span>

Step by step solution :<span>Step  1  :</span>Skip Ad
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

<span> 1.1 </span>    Factoring <span> x2-12x-45</span> 

The first term is, <span> <span>x2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -12x </span> its coefficient is <span> -12 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> -45 </span>

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> <span> 1</span> • -45 = -45</span> 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -45  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is  <span> -12 </span>.

<span><span>     -45   +   1   =   -44</span><span>     -15   +   3   =   -12   That's it</span></span>


Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -15  and  3 
                     <span>x2 - 15x</span> + 3x - 45

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    x • (x-15)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                    3 • (x-15)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (x+3)  •  (x-15)
             Which is the desired factorization

<span>Equation at the end of step  1  :</span> (x + 3) • (x - 15) = 0 <span>Step  2  :</span>Theory - Roots of a product :

<span> 2.1 </span>   A product of several terms equals zero.<span> 

 </span>When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.<span> 

 </span>We shall now solve each term = 0 separately<span> 

 </span>In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product<span> 

 </span>Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

<span> 2.2 </span>     Solve  :    x+3 = 0<span> 

 </span>Subtract  3  from both sides of the equation :<span> 
 </span>                     x = -3 

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

<span> 2.3 </span>     Solve  :    x-15 = 0<span> 

 </span>Add  15  to both sides of the equation :<span> 
 </span>                     x = 15 

Supplement : Solving Quadratic Equation Directly<span>Solving <span> x2-12x-45</span>  = 0 directly </span>

Earlier we factored this polynomial by splitting the middle term. let us now solve the equation by Completing The Square and by using the Quadratic Formula

Parabola, Finding the Vertex :

<span> 3.1 </span>     Find the Vertex of   <span>y = x2-12x-45

</span>Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex .   Our parabola opens up and accordingly has a lowest point (AKA absolute minimum) .   We know this even before plotting  "y"  because the coefficient of the first term, 1 , is positive (greater than zero).<span> 

 </span>Each parabola has a vertical line of symmetry that passes through its vertex. Because of this symmetry, the line of symmetry would, for example, pass through the midpoint of the two  x -intercepts (roots or solutions) of the parabola. That is, if the parabola has indeed two real solutions.<span> 

 </span>Parabolas can model many real life situations, such as the height above ground, of an object thrown upward, after some period of time. The vertex of the parabola can provide us with information, such as the maximum height that object, thrown upwards, can reach. For this reason we want to be able to find the coordinates of the vertex.<span> 

 </span>For any parabola,<span>Ax2+Bx+C,</span>the  x -coordinate of the vertex is given by  -B/(2A) . In our case the  x  coordinate is   6.0000 <span> 

 </span>Plugging into the parabola formula   6.0000  for  x  we can calculate the  y -coordinate :<span> 
 </span><span> y = 1.0 * 6.00 * 6.00 - 12.0 * 6.00 - 45.0 
</span>or   y = -81.000

Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :

Root plot for : <span> y = x2-12x-45</span>
Axis of Symmetry (dashed)  {x}={ 6.00} 
Vertex at  {x,y} = { 6.00,-81.00}  
 x -Intercepts (Roots) :
Root 1 at  {x,y} = {-3.00, 0.00} 
Root 2 at<span>  {x,y} = {15.00, 0.00}</span>

PLEASE PLEASE HELP PLEASE
kogti [31]

Answer:

r = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

PR² = PQ² + QR² , substitute values

(r + 4)² = r² + 8²

r² + 8r + 16 = r² + 64 ( subtract r² from both sides )

8r + 16 = 64 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

8r = 48 ( divide both sides by 8 )

r = 6

Please Answer numbers 4 and 5<br> Due Tomorrow! Please Answer with Explanation ;) thank you
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Median is the middle number

Mean is the average

Step-by-step explanation:

for #4

order the tree heights from the least to greatest and the middle number would be your median. If you have an even amount (no middle) then add the two middle numbers and dived it by 2

for # 5

Add the numbers all up on a calculator then dived by the amount of numbers you added.

Really simple :)

Hope that helps!
