When two objects reach the same time-space coordinates, they generally collide with each other. How is this different from what

waves do?

Answer:

Waves superimpose upon each other when they collide, while objects do not

Step-by-step explanation:

The main difference between the collision of waves and the collision of objects is simply the superposition principle.

When waves collide, they do not do so in the same way objects do. The superposition principle explains that waves can either collide in a constructive or destructive manner.

Case A: Waves colliding in a constructive manner

When waves collide in a constructive manner, this means that they are in phase, in simpler terms, it means that they have the same shape as they move through space-time. Constructive collision leads to a formation of a bigger wave with a higher amplitude. This is how stereo speakers operate. They produce louder sounds by releasing the same audio waves, causing them to superimpose upon each other.

Case B: Waves colliding in a destructive manner:

When waves are out of phase(i.e do not have the same shape as they move through space-time) and they collide, they try to cancel each other out, leading to a new wave with a weaker amplitude. This is how noise-cancelling headphones work. They emit an equal and opposite wave sound to the noise around your ears, thus cancelling it out.

A machine fills containers with a particular product. Assume the filling weights are normally distributed with a variance of 0.1
Ghella [55]

Answer:

z=-0.674

And if we solve for \mu we got

\mu=12 +0.674*0.4=12.270

So then the mean is 'mu = 12.270 for this case.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(\mu,\sqrt{0.16}= 0.4)  

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>12)=0.85   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.25 of the area on the left and 0.85 of the area on the right it's z=-0.674. On this case P(Z<-0.674)=0.25 and P(z>-0.674)=0.85

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-0.674

And if we solve for \mu we got

\mu=12 +0.674*0.4=12.270

So then the mean is 'mu = 12.270 for this case.
