A company manager for a tire manufacturer is in charge of making sure there is the least amount of defective tires. If the tire manufacturing process is working properly, the average weight of a tire for a 4-door sedan is normally distributed with a mean of 22 pounds and a standard deviation of 0.76 pounds. The manager decides to reject a tire as underweight if it falls more than 1.5 interquartile ranges below the lower quartile of the specified shipment of tires. What proportion of tires will be rejected by this process?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.347% of the total tires will be rejected as underweight.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a standard normal distribution, (with mean 0 and standard deviation 1), the lower and upper quartiles are located at -0.67448 and +0.67448 respectively. Thus the interquartile range (IQR) is 1.34896.

And the manager decides to reject a tire as underweight if it falls more than 1.5 interquartile ranges below the lower quartile of the specified shipment of tires.

1.5 of the Interquartile range = 1.5 × 1.34896 = 2.02344

1.5 of the interquartile range below the lower quartile = (lower quartile) - (1.5 of Interquartile range) = -0.67448 - 2.02344 = -2.69792

The proportion of tires that will fall 1.5 of the interquartile range below the lower quartile = P(x < -2.69792) ≈ P(x < -2.70)

Using data from the normal distribution table

P(x < -2.70) = 0.00347 = 0.347% of the total tires will be rejected as underweight

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer 2

The proportion of the tires that would be denied for being underweight through the given process would be:

[tex]0.347[/tex]% of the total tires will be rejected as underweight.

Given that,

Interquartile Range [tex]= 1.5[/tex]

Standard Deviation [tex]= 0.76[/tex]

Considering Mean = 0

and Standard Deviation = 1

Since lower quartile = -0.67448

Upper quartile  = +0.67448

IQ range =  1.34896

To find,

The proportion of tires would be rejected due to being underweight through the process would be:  

1.5 of Interquartile Range = 1.5 × [tex]1.34896 = 2.02344[/tex]

Now,

1.5 of the IQ range below the lower quartile [tex]= (lower quartile) - (1.5 of Interquartile range)[/tex]

[tex]= -0.67448 - 2.02344[/tex]

[tex]= -2.69792[/tex]

The proportion of tires that would be under 1.5 of the interquartile range below the lower quartile:

[tex]= P(x < -2.69792)[/tex] ≈ [tex]P(x < -2.70)[/tex]

Using data through the Normal Distribution Table,

[tex]P(x < -2.70)[/tex] [tex]= 0.00347[/tex]

[tex]= 0.347[/tex]%

Thus, 0.347% of the total tires would be rejected as underweight.

Answers

The PIN is 4829

Step-by-step explanation:

let s take 4 numbers a b c and d

the PIN is abcd

we know that

(1) a = b/2

(2) b+c=10

(3) d=b+1

(4) a+b+c+d=23

from (2) c = 10 - b

from (3) d = b + 1

so (4) gives

b/2 + b + 10 - b + b +1 = 23

so

3/2 b = 23 -11 = 12

b = 12*2/3 = 8

so d = 9

c = 10-8=2

and a = 4

so the PIN is 4829

Answers

Corrected Question

At the beginning of the season, Jamie pays full price($49.64) for a ticket to see the panthers, her favorite baseball team. Ticket prices decrease $0.41 for every game the panthers lose this season. the panthers currently have 33 wins and 31 losses.

(a)Represent the total change in the cost of a ticket given their losses.

(b) What is the cost of a ticket for the next game they play?

Answer:

(a)$(49.64-0.41x)

(b)$36.93

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)Cost of a Full Ticket =$49.64

Let x be the number of losses

The ticket price reduces by $0.41 for every loss

Therefore:

Ticket Price after x losses =$(49.64-0.41x)

Therefore, total change in the cost of a ticket given their losses=$(49.64-0.41x)

(b)For this season the Panthers has suffered 31 losses.

Number of Losses, x=31

Therefore, cost of a ticket for the next game they play

= $(49.64-0.41*31)

=49.64-12.71

=$36.93

four apples and one banana cost £1.40 seven apples and one banana cost £2.00 work out the cost of an apple and the cost of a banana .

Answers

Answer:

apple: £0.20banana: £0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" and "b" represent the costs of one apple and one banana, respectively. Then the purchases can be written ...

  4a +b = 1.40

  7a +b = 2.00

Subtracting the first equation from the second gives ...

  (7a +b) -(4a +b) = (2.00) -(1.40)

  3a = 0.60 . . . . simplify

  a = 0.20 . . . . . .divide by 3

Using this in the first equation, we have ...

  4(0.20) +b = 1.40

  b = 0.60 . . . . . subtract 0.80

The cost of an apple is £0.20; the cost of a banana is £0.60.

c) [tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = 1.414[/tex]

d) [tex]\sigma _{\bar x} = 1.343[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The random sample is of size 50 i.e the population standard deviation  =10

Size of the sample n = 50

a) The population size is infinite;

The standard error is determined as:

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{50}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = 1.414[/tex]

b) When the population size N= 50000

n/N = 50/50000 = 0.001 < 0.05

Thus ; the finite population of the standard error is not applicable in this scenario;

Therefore;

The standard error is determined as:

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{50}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = 1.414[/tex]

c)  When the population size N= 5000

n/N = 50/5000 = 0.01 < 0.05

Thus ; the finite population of the standard error is not applicable in this scenario;

Therefore;

The standard error is determined as:

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{50}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x} = 1.414[/tex]

d) When the population size N= 500

n/N = 50/500 = 0.1 > 0.05

So; the finite population of the standard error is applicable in this scenario;

Therefore;

The standard error is determined as:

[tex]\sigma _{\bar x} = \sqrt{\dfrac{N-n}{N-1} }\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

[tex]\sigma _{\bar x} = \sqrt{\dfrac{500-50}{500-1} }\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{50} } }[/tex]

A large western state consist of 4341 million acres of land. Approximately 83% of this land is federally owned. Find the number of acres that are not federally owned

Answers

Answer:

737.97  acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Approximately 83% of a large western state  land is federally owned.

Total land in percentage will be 100%

% of land not federally owned = Total land in percentage  - % of land  federally owned = 100% - 83% = 17%

Thus, percentage of land not federally owned = 17% of total land

Also given "A large western state consist of 4341 million acres of land"

Therefore,

number of acres that are not federally owned = 17% of total western state land

number of acres that are not federally owned =  17/100 * 4341 = 737.97

Thus,  737.97  acres  of western state  land are not federally owned.

A = pi (5)^2

A = 25pi

Letting pi = 3.14

A = 25(3.14)

A =78.5 cm^2

Letting  pi be the pi button

A =78.53981634

Rounding to the nearest tenth

78.5

Answer:

78.5 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle can be found using the following formula.

a=πr²

We know the radius of the circle is 5 centimeters.

r=5

Substitute 5 in for r.

a=π(5²)

Evaluate the exponent. 5² is equal to 5*5, which equals 25.

a=π(25)

Multiply 25 and pi

a=78.5398163397

Round to the nearest tenth. The 3 in the hundredth place tells use to leave the 5 in the tenths place as is.

a≈78.5

Add appropriate units. Area always uses units², and the units in this case are centimeters.

a≈78.5 centimeters²

The area of the circle is about 78.5 square centimeters.

A Biology test contains 10 multiple choice questions each with 5 choices and one correct answer. If a law school student just randomly guesses on each of the 10 questions, i.e., the probability of getting a correct answer on any given question is 0.2. Assume that all questions are answered independently. (a) What is the probability that the student answers at least 9 questions correctly

Answers

Answer:

0.0004% probability that the student answers at least 9 questions correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the student guesses the correct answer, or he does not. All questions are answered independently. This means that we use the binomial distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

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

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

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

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]n = 10, p = 0.2[/tex]

What is the probability that the student answers at least 9 questions correctly

[tex]P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)[/tex]

In which

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

[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.2)^{9}.(0.8)^{1} = 0.000004[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} \approx 0 [/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.000004 + 0 = 0.000004[/tex]

0.0004% probability that the student answers at least 9 questions correctly

2.24 Exit poll: Edison Research gathered exit poll results from several sources for the Wisconsin recall election of Scott Walker. They found that 57% of the respondents voted in favor of Scott Walker. Additionally, they estimated that of those who did vote in favor for Scott Walker, 33% had a college degree, while 45% of those who voted against Scott Walker had a college degree. Suppose we randomly sampled a person who participated in the exit poll and found that he had a college degree. What is the probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker? (please round to 4 decimal places)

Answers

Answer:

0.4929 = 49.29% probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Having a college degree.

Event B: Voting for Scott Walker.

They found that 57% of the respondents voted in favor of Scott Walker.

This means that [tex]P(B) = 0.57[/tex]

Additionally, they estimated that of those who did vote in favor for Scott Walker, 33% had a college degree

This means that [tex]P(A|B) = 0.33[/tex]

Probability of having a college degree.

33% of those who voted for Scott Walker(57%).

45% of those who voted against Scott Walker(100 - 57 = 43%). So

[tex]P(A) = 0.33*0.57 + 0.45*0.43 = 0.3816[/tex]

What is the probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker?

A square of area 36cm2 is cut to make two rectangles, A and B The ratio of Area A to Area B is 2 : 1 Work out the dimensions of rectangle A and B
(Need help with this question)

Answers

Answer:

Given..hope it helps

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square= 36cm2 = total area

Side of square= √36= 6cm

Ratio a:b = 2:1

so let's take total area as 3x

while a is 2x and b is 1x

3x= 36 (given)

x= 36/3 = 12

so area of each rectangle--

area A= 2x= 24cm2

area B= x= 12cm2

While finding the dimensions, they both have a common length since they are from the same square which will be 6cm (side)

So,

Dimensions of rectangle A= 6cm * 4cm

Dimensions of rectangle B= 6cm * 2cm

What is the domain of the function on the graph?
all real numbers
all real numbers greater than or equal to 0
O all real numbers greater than or equal to -2
all real numbers greater than or equal to -3
HELP PLEASE

Answers

Answer:

All real numbers greater than or equal to -3

Step-by-step explanation:

First look at graph where the line points to which direction of the graph

And look for any closed or open circles in the graph

Since in the graph has a close circle at (-3,-2) meaning it includes that x-value for its domain.

With the graph going to positive infinity it states that the domain is all real numbers.

So in conclusion it has a domain of all real numbers greater than or equal to -3

The results of a common standardized test used in psychology research is designed so that the population mean is 155 and the standard deviation is 50. A subject earns a score of 155. How many standard deviations from the mean is the value 155

Answers

Answer:

The value 155 is zero standard deviations from the [population] mean, because [tex] \\ x = \mu[/tex], and therefore [tex] \\ z = 0[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The key concept we need to manage here is the z-scores (or standardized values), and we can obtain a z-score using the next formula:

[tex] \\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [1]

Where

z is the z-score.x is the raw score: an observation from the normally distributed data that we want standardize using [1].[tex] \\ \mu[/tex] is the population mean.[tex] \\ \sigma[/tex] is the population standard deviation.

Carefully looking at [1], we can interpret it as the distance from the mean of a raw value in standard deviations units. When the z-score is negative indicates that the raw score, x, is below the population mean, [tex] \\ \mu[/tex]. Conversely, a positive z-score is telling us that x is above the population mean. A z-score is also fundamental when determining probabilities using the standard normal distribution.

For example, think about a z-score = 1. In this case, the raw score is, after being standardized using [1], one standard deviation above from the population mean. A z-score = -1 is also one standard deviation from the mean but below it.

These standardized values have always the same probability in the standard normal distribution, and this is the advantage of using it for calculating probabilities for normally distributed data.

A subject earns a score of 155. How many standard deviations from the mean is the value 155?

From the question, we know that:

x = 155.[tex] \\ \mu = 155[/tex].[tex] \\ \sigma = 50[/tex].

Having into account all the previous information, we can say that the raw score, x = 155, is zero standard deviations units from the mean. The subject   earned a score that equals the population mean. Then, using [1]:

[tex] \\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex] \\ z = \frac{155 - 155}{50}[/tex]

[tex] \\ z = \frac{0}{50}[/tex]

[tex] \\ z = 0[/tex]

As we say before, the z-score "tells us" the distance from the population mean, and in this case this value equals zero:  

[tex] \\ x = \mu[/tex]

Therefore

[tex] \\ z = 0[/tex]

So, the value 155 is zero standard deviations from the [population] mean.
