Answer:

The standard deviation would have to be reduced to 0.1 in the process to meet this target

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 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.

The mean is 2 liter.

This means that \mu = 2

The company now wants to reduce its defect probability as 0.0455.

This means that:

P(X < 1.8) = 0.0455/2 = 0.02275

P(X < 2.2) = 0.0455/2 = 0.02275

This means that the pvalue of Z when X = 1.8 is 0.02275. This means that when X = 1.8, Z = -2. We use this to find the new standard deviation \sigma. So

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

-2 = \frac{1.8 - 2}{\sigma}

-2\sigma = -0.2

\sigma = \frac{0.2}{2}

\sigma = 0.1

The standard deviation would have to be reduced to 0.1 in the process to meet this target

A stick 1 meter long casts a shadow 0.6 meters long. A building casts a shadow 25 meters long. How tall is the building (to 2 de
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

41.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent on the stick with shadow:

tan(θ) = \frac{1}{0.6}

Using the tangent on the building:

tan(θ) = \frac{h}{25}

⇒ h = 25 · tan(θ)

       = 25 · \frac{1}{0.6}

⇒ h = 41.66... ≈ 41.67
