The diameters of bolts produced by a certain machine are normally distributed with a mean of 0.35 inches and a standard deviatio
1 answer:
Answer:
15.87%
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that the mean of 0.35 inches with a standard deviation of 0.01 gives you when you add (to the right of the distribution), exactly 0.36. Since you want to find the probability (or percentage) of the bolts that have diameter LARGER than 0.36 in, that means you want to estimate the area under the Normal distribution curve from 0.36 to the right). See attached image.
We can use the tables of Z distribution for that, or the standard normal tables:
P(x>0.36) = P(z>(0.36-0.35)/0.01) = P(Z>1) = 0.1587 = 15.87%

Area of sector is 17.584 meters
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that we have to find the approximate area of a sector given O= 56 degrees with a diameter of 12m
Diameter = 12 m
Radius = Diameter / 2 = 6 m
An angle of 56 degrees is the fraction of the whole rotation
A sector of a circle with a sector angle of 56 degrees is therefore also the fraction of the circle
The area of the sector will therefore also be of the area
Thus area of sector is 17.584 meters
