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

How do you find the area of a regular polygon?
Bogdan [553]
Each of the triangles are equal in base length, height, and area<span>. Remember the formula for the </span>area<span> of a triangle. The </span>area<span> of any triangle is 1/2 times the length of the base (which, in the </span>polygon<span>, is the length of a side) multiplied by the height (which is the same as the apothem in </span>regular polygon<span>).

a pack rat has 130 piglets and 110 books. She wants to maintain this ratio in her collection but needs to sell some of her items
bija089 [108]

The number of items she should sell from her collection is 24

<h3>How to determine the number of items she should sell from her collection?</h3>

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Ratio = Piglets : Books

For 130 piglets and 110 books, we have the following representations

Ratio = 130 : 110

Also, for 13 piglets, we have the following representations

Ratio = 13 : Books

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

13 : Books = 130 : 110

This can also be rewritten as

Books : 13 = 110 : 130

Multiply the second ratio by 1/10

So. we have

Books : 13 = 11 : 13

By comparison, we have

Books = 11

So, the total items sold is

Items = 11 books + 13 piglets

Evaluate

Items = 24 items

Hence, the number of items is 24
