The distribution of resistance for resistors of a certain type is known to be normal, with 10% of all resistors having a resista

nce exceeding 10.634 ohms, and 5% having a resistance smaller than 9.7565 ohms. What are the mean value and standard deviation of the resistance distribution?

Answer:

The mean is 9.65 ohms and the standard deviation is 0.2742 ohms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

10% of all resistors having a resistance exceeding 10.634 ohms

This means that when X = 10.634, Z has a pvalue of 1-0.1 = 0.9. So when X = 10.634, Z = 1.28.

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

1.28 = \frac{10.634 - \mu}{\sigma}

10.634 - \mu = 1.28\sigma

\mu = 10.634 - 1.28\sigma

5% having a resistance smaller than 9.7565 ohms.

This means that when X = 9.7565, Z has a pvalue of 0.05. So when X = 9.7565, Z = -1.96.

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

-1.96 = \frac{9.7565 - \mu}{\sigma}

9.7565 - \mu = -1.96\sigma

\mu = 9.7565 + 1.96\sigma

We also have that:

\mu = 10.634 - 1.28\sigma

So

10.634 - 1.28\sigma = 9.7565 + 1.96\sigma

1.96\sigma + 1.28\sigma = 10.645 - 9.7565

3.24\sigma = 0.8885

\sigma = \frac{0.8885}{3.24}

\sigma = 0.2742

The mean is

\mu = 10.634 - 1.28\sigma = 10 - 1.28*0.2742 = 9.65

The mean is 9.65 ohms and the standard deviation is 0.2742 ohms.

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

3

Using (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 6)

m = \frac{6-0}{-3-0} = \frac{6}{-3} = - 2

Since the line passes through the origin (0, 0) then y- intercept is 0

y = - 2x ← equation of line

4

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 3)

m = \frac{3-0}{0-6} = \frac{3}{-6} = - \frac{1}{2}

note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3

y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 3 ← equation of line

5

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (-2, - 3)

m = \frac{-3-3}{-2-0} = \frac{-6}{-2} = 3

note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3

y = 3x + 3 ← equation of line
