The statistical difference between a process operating at a 5 sigma level and a process operating at a 6 sigma level is markedly
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

A six sigma level has a lower and upper specification limits between \\ (\mu - 6\sigma) and \\ (\mu + 6\sigma). It means that the probability of finding no defects in a process is, considering 12 significant figures, for values symmetrically covered for standard deviations from the mean of a normal distribution:

\\ p = F(\mu + 6\sigma) - F(\mu - 6\sigma) = 0.999999998027

For those with defects <em>operating at a 6 sigma level, </em>the probability is:

\\ 1 - p = 1 - 0.999999998027 = 0.000000001973

Similarly, for finding <em>no defects</em> in a 5 sigma level, we have:

\\ p = F(\mu + 5\sigma) - F(\mu - 5\sigma) = 0.999999426697.

The probability of defects is:

\\ 1 - p = 1 - 0.999999426697 = 0.000000573303

Well, the defects present in a six sigma level and a five sigma level are, respectively:

\\ {6\sigma} = 0.000000001973 = 1.973 * 10^{-9} \approx \frac{2}{10^9} \approx \frac{2}{1000000000}

\\ {5\sigma} = 0.000000573303 = 5.73303 * 10^{-7} \approx \frac{6}{10^7} \approx \frac{6}{10000000}  

Then, comparing both fractions, we can confirm that a <em>6 sigma level is markedly different when it comes to the number of defects present:</em>

\\ {6\sigma} \approx \frac{2}{10^9} [1]

\\ {5\sigma} \approx \frac{6}{10^7} = \frac{6}{10^7}*\frac{10^2}{10^2}=\frac{600}{10^9} [2]

Comparing [1] and [2], a six sigma process has <em>2 defects per billion</em> opportunities, whereas a five sigma process has <em>600 defects per billion</em> opportunities.

4. Assume that the chances of a basketball player hitting a 3-pointer shot is 0.4 and the probability of hitting a free-throw is
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

0.0334 = 3.34% probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each 3-pointer shot, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the player makes it, or the player does not. The same is valid for free throws. This means that both the number of 3-pointers and free throws made are given by binomial distributions.

Since 3-pointers and free throws are independent, first we find the probability of making exactly 3 3-pointers out of 10, then the probability of making exactly 5 free throws out of 10, and then the probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws is the multiplication of these probabilities.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Probability of making 3 3-pointers out of 10:

The chances of a basketball player hitting a 3-pointer shot is 0.4, which means that p = 0.4. So this is P(X = 3) when n = 10.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.4)^{3}.(0.6)^{7} = 0.21499

Probability of making 5 free throws out of 10:

The probability of hitting a free-throw is 0.65, which means that p = 0.65. The probability is P(X = 5) when n = 10.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{10,5}.(0.65)^{5}.(0.35)^{5} = 0.15357

Calculate the probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws.

0.21499*0.15537 = 0.0334

0.0334 = 3.34% probability that the player will make exactly 3 3-pointers and 5-free throws.

O is the centre of the circle, EF is a tangent, angle BCE = 28°, angle ACD = 31°
andriy [413]

Answer

a. 28˚

b. 76˚

c. 104˚

d. 56˚

Step-by-step explanation

Given,

∠BCE=28°  ∠ACD=31°  &  line AB=AC .

According To the Question,

  • a. the angle between a chord and a tangent through one of the end points of the chord is equal to the angle in the alternate segment.(Alternate Segment Theorem) Thus, ∠BAC=28°

  • b. We Know The Sum Of All Angles in a triangle is 180˚, 180°-∠CAB(28°)=152° and ΔABC is an isosceles triangle, So 152°/2=76˚

        thus , ∠ABC=76° .

  • c. We know the Sum of all angles in a triangle is 180° and opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral(ABCD) add up to 180˚,

Thus, ∠ACD + ∠ACB = 31° + 76° ⇔ 107°

Now, ∠DCB + ∠DAB = 180°(Cyclic Quadrilateral opposite angle)

∠DAB = 180° - 107° ⇔ 73°

& We Know, ∠DAC+∠CAB=∠DAB ⇔ ∠DAC = 73° - 28° ⇔ 45°

Now, In Triangle ADC Sum of angles in a triangle is 180°

∠ADC = 180° - (31° + 45°)  ⇔  104˚

   

  • d. ∠COB = 28°×2 ⇔ 56˚ , because With the Same Arc(CB) The Angle at circumference are half of the angle at the centre

Kevin made a jewelry box with the dimensions shown width: 15 cm length: 10 cm depth: 5 cm. what is the volume of the jewelry box
ziro4ka [17]

you need to know the mass of the jewelry box before you can know the volume but i can help you multiply th 15 and the 10 to get the mass most likely then divided what you have from 15 x 10 by the depth and you have your answer just be sure to round it off!
