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

There is a spinner with 12 equal areas, numbered 1 through 12. If the spinner is spun
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

There is only number between 1 and 12 that is both a multiple of 5 and 2, that being 10. 10 has an equal chance out of all the other numbers that can be spun, and there are 12 numbers, so 10 has a 1/12 chance of being spun.
