Before every​ flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the ai

rcraft. The aircraft can carry 37 ​passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,216 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6216/37 = 168 lb. What is the probability that the aircraft is​ overloaded

Answer:

The probability that the aircraft  is  overload = 0.9999

Yes , The pilot has to be take strict action .

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

Given - Before every​ flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The aircraft can carry 37 ​passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,216 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6216/37 = 168 lb. Assume that weight of men are normally distributed with a mean of 182.7 lb and a standard deviation of 39.6.

To find - What is the probability that the aircraft is​ overloaded ?

         Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft ?

Proof -

Given that,

Mean, μ = 182.7

Standard Deviation, σ = 39.6

Now,

Let X be the Weight of the men

Now,

Probability that the aircraft is loaded be

P(X > 168 ) = P(\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} > \frac{168 - \mu}{\sigma} )

                 = P( z > \frac{168 - 182.7}{39.6} )

                 = P( z > -0.371)

                 = 1 - P ( z ≤ -0.371 )

                 = 1 - P( z > 0.371)

                 = 1 - 0.00010363

                 = 0.9999

⇒P(X > 168) = 0.9999

As the probability of weight overload = 0.9999

So, The pilot has to be take strict action .

A chicken weighs t lbs. It needs to be cooked for 20 minutes per lb plus an extra 15 minutes. What is the total cooking time? Is
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Total cooking time = 20t + 15

The expression 15t + 20 is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

weight of chicken = t lbs

cook time per lb = 20 minutes

This means that:

1 lb weight requires a cooking time of 20 minutes

1 lb = 20 minutes

∴ t lbs = 20 × t = 20t minutes.

We were also told that each chicken required an extra cooking time of 15 minutes, in addition to the total cooking time due to the weight. Therefore, the total cooking time is calculated thus:

Total cooking time = cooking time due to weight + 15 minutes

Total cooking time = 20t + 15

Hence the expression 15t + 20 is wrong, due to the explanation given above.

Using the z-distribution, the p-value would be given as follows:

b) 0.0086.

<h3>What are the hypothesis tested?</h3>

At the null hypothesis we test if the means are equal, hence:

H_0: \mu_D - \mu_C = 0

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if they are different, hence:

H_1: \mu_D - \mu_C \neq 0

<h3>What are the mean and the standard error for the distribution of differences?</h3>

For each sample, they are given as follows:

  • \mu_D = 12, s_D = \frac{5.2}{\sqrt{73}} = 0.6086
  • \mu_C = 14, s_C = \frac{4.1}{\sqrt{81}} = 0.4556

Hence, for the distribution of differences, they are given by:

  • \overline{x} = 12 - 14 = -2.
  • s = \sqrt{0.6086^2 + 0.4556^2} = 0.76

<h3>What is the test statistic?</h3>

The test statistic is given by:

z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}

In which \mu = 0 is the value tested at the null hypothesis.

Hence:

z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}

z = \frac{-2 - 0}{0.76}

z = -2.63.

Using a z-distribution calculator, for a two-tailed test, with z = -2.63, the p-value is of 0.0086.

Hence option B is correct.

Use the distributive property and combine like terms to simplify: u(v−10)
siniylev [52]

Answer:

uv - 10u

Step-by-step explanation:

To distribute a problem, you have to multiply what is on the outside of the parenthesis with what is on the inside.

u · v = uv

u · -10 = -10u

Combined, u(v - 10) = uv - 10u.
