The diameters of bolts produced by a certain machine are normally distributed with a mean of 0.35 inches and a standard deviatio

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%

Answer:
The vertex form of the equation is .
Step-by-step explanation:
You will use the equation to solve this parabola. (h, k) is the vertex. So, we plug this into the equation to get
.
Then, we substitute the point as our x and y to get (a lot of simplifying was done here). Then, add 2 to the right side of the equation and isolate the
to get
. Finally, divide by 9 on both sides to get
.
Now, substitute your back into the equation to get y =
.
This is in vertex form. If the answer is needed in standard form, simply distribute and simplify to get .
