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

What are the formulas for COS, TAN, and SIN?
Doss [256]
I'm guessing that you don't really want the formulas.  I think what you actually want
is the definitions of those functions of an acute angle when it's in a right triangle.

Cosine = (adjacent side) / (hypotenuse)

Tangent = (opposite side) / (adjacent side)

Sine = (opposite side) / (hypotenuse)

Tell me if I'm wrong, and I'll find some formulas for you.

Radha is trying to choose between two bike rental companies, Company A and Company B.
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Part A. After 7 hours the amount charged will be the same

Part B. The cost of renting the bike for that many hours (7) will be 60$.

Step-by-step explanation:

5h + 25 = 6h + 18

5h - 6h = 18 - 25

-h = -7

h = -7/-1

h = 7

Company A.

y = 5h + 25

y = (5*7) + 25

y = 35 + 25

y = 60

Company B.

y = 6h + 18

y = (6*7) + 18

y = 42 + 18

y = 60

Which is the best first step when solving the following system of equations? x + y = 3. 4 x minus y = 7. Multiply the first equa
____ [38]

Answer:

just add the equation and solve it then the value of X could be found then put the value of X and the value of y can be found. Just like in the below

Step-by-step explanation:

X+y=3 ------------ equation 1

4x-y=7 ------------ equation 2

adding equation 1 and 2

X+y=3

+ 4x-y=7

-----------------

5x = 10

X = 10/5

X = 2

putting the value of X in equation 1

or, 2+y=3

or, y = 3-2

Thus, y = 1
