Answer:

0.1357 = 13.57% of bolts will have a diameter greater than 1.211 inches

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 z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 1.20 inches and a standard deviation of 0.01 inches.

This means that \mu = 1.20, \sigma = 0.01

What proportion of bolts will have a diameter greater than 1.211 inches?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 1.211. So

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

Z = \frac{1.211 - 1.20}{0.01}

Z = 1.1

Z = 1.1 has a p-value of 0.8643.

1 - 0.8643 = 0.1357

0.1357 = 13.57% of bolts will have a diameter greater than 1.211 inches

Im doing decimals greatest to least and i need help with number 12 and 13
erma4kov [3.2K]

(I know there isnt any real problem here to solve, but heres a tip on how to solve greatest to least with decimal problems)

1. Just because a number looks big, doesn't mean it is big

Example: 1.00000000000001 < 1.1

just look at the numbers ^ and dont just hastily read it over assuming that 1.1 is smaller because it "has less digits"

2. Negative numbers are... opposite. and they are less than positive numbers

-3.4 > -4.1

Why is this? Well, if you look on a line, with the point 0 in the middle, you can see that -3.4 is not as far away from 0 as -4.1 is. So the idea is to apply opposite logic for negative numbers

I hope these tips helped!! :D

Answer:

5 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all subtract the whole number, 2, from 8 1/5

You would get 6 1/5

Now subtract 2/5 from that, or set up an equation like:

6 + 1/5 - 2/5

you would get 6 - 1/5 or 5 4/5
