A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed lifespan, with a mean of 5.8 years, and standard deviation of 1.7 years. The 10% of items with the shortest lifespan will last less than how many years?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3.6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the standard normal probability distribution table, we obtain the Zscore which is 10% to left of the distribution.

The Zscore gives, - 1.282

To obtain the number of years, let this be x ;

Recall, the Zscore formula :

Zscore = (x - μ) / σ

x = number of years

μ = 5.8

σ = 1.7

Zscore = (x - μ) / σ

-1.282 = (x - 5.8) / 1.7

-1.282 * 1.7 = x - 5.8

-2.1794 = x - 5.8

-2.1794 + 5.8 = x

x = 3.6206

x = 3.6 years

There are 38 chocolates in a box, all identically shaped. There are 8 filled with nuts, 16 with caramel, and 14 are solid chocolate. You randomly select one piece, eat it and then select a second piece. Find the probability of selecting 2 solid chocolate in a row

Answers

Answer:

0.1294

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of chocolates in box = 38

Number of nuts = 8

Number of caramel = 16

Number of solid chocolate = 14

Since 2 are selected in a row and not replaced, then;

Probability of first being solid chocolate = 14/38

Probability of second being solid chocolate after first one = 13/37

Thus;

P(2 selected in a row being solid chocolate) = 14/38 × 13/37 = 0.1294

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of a rhombus are congruent , then

13b - 9 = 3b + 4 ( subtract 3b from both sides )

10b - 9 = 4 ( add 9 to both sides )

10b = 13 ( divide both sides by 10 )

b = 1.3

The diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other , then

14a + 20 = 90 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

14a = 70 ( divide both sides by 14 )

a = 5

Thus c = a + b = 5 + 1.3 = 6.3 → D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]x \ge -1[/tex]

[tex]y \le 2x +3[/tex]

[tex]y \le -1[/tex]

Required

The maximum and minimum of z

To do this, we make use of the graphical method

See attachment for graphs of

[tex]x \ge -1[/tex]

[tex]y \le 2x +3[/tex]

[tex]y \le -1[/tex]

The corner points of the function are:

[tex](x,y) = (-1,1)[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (-1,0)[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (-1,-1)[/tex]

We have:

[tex]z = 4x + 5y[/tex]

Calculate z with  the above values

[tex]z = 4(-1) + 5(1) = 1[/tex]

[tex]z = 4(-1) + 5(0) = -4[/tex]

[tex]z = 4(-1) + 5(-1) = -9[/tex]

So, we have:

Answer:

15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinates of point B are (x, y).

Since the rotation is clockwise the angle measure between OA and OB is -60° (IV quadrant).

x = 15 cos (-60°) = 7.5y = 15 sin (-60°) = -12.99

The distance between A and B is:

AB = [tex]\sqrt{(15-7.5)^2+(0+12.99)^2} = \sqrt{225}[/tex] = 15 unitsAnother solution

Since OA = OB = 15 units and AOB is 60° angle the triangle OAB is equilateral. Hence AB is same as OA and OB, so AB = 15 units.

A rose garden is formed by joining a rectangle and a semicircle, as shown below. The rectangle is 24 ft long and 16 ft wide.
Find the area of the garden.

Answers

Answer: Using width as diameter=32π Using length as diameter=72π

*I included both possibilities since I didn't see a picture of the way in which the semicircle and rectangle were joined.*

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve, you have to know the formula for area of a circle which is A=πr^2 (pi*radius to the 2nd power)

The problem does not give us the radius, but we know that radius is half of the diameter.

To find the diameter, we have to use the side measurement of the rectangle and divide it by 2 to find the radius.

Next, we increase the radius to the 2nd power, giving us the radius of a whole circle.

Finally, we have to divide that by 2 since it's a semi circle otherwise known as half of a circle.

I put the answer in terms of pi since that's the most accurate, but if the question specifically instructs it, you can calculate part of the irrational decimal and round to a certain place value.

Do oddsmakers believe that teams who play at home will have home field advantage? Specifically, do oddsmakers give higher point spreads when the favored team plays home games as compared to when the favored team plays away games? Two samples were randomly

Answers

Complete question is;

Do oddsmakers believe that teams who play at home will have home field advantage? Specifically, do oddsmakers give higher point spreads when the favored team plays home games as compared to when the favored team plays away games?

Two samples were randomly selected from three complete National Football League seasons (1989, 1990, and 1991). The first sample consisted of 50 games, where the favored team played in a home game, while the second sample consisted of 50 games, where the favored team played in an away game. The oddsmakers’ point spreads (which are the number of points by which the favored team is predicted to beat the weaker team) were then collected.

If µ1 and µ2 represent the mean point spread for home games and away games, respectively, which of the following is the appropriate.

A) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 < 0

B) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

Ha: μ1 < μ2

C) H0: μ1 - μ2 > 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 = 0

D) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 > 0

E) None of the above

Answer:

D) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find out if oddsmakers give higher point spreads when the favored team plays home games as compared to when the favored team plays away games.

Now, since µ1 and µ2 represent the mean point spread for home games and away games, respectively;

It means we want to find out if µ1 > µ2 as the alternative hypothesis.

Thus, alternative hypothesis is;

Ha: µ1 - µ2 > 0

Meanwhile null hypothesis assumes that equal point spreads are given when the favored team plays home games as well as when the favored team plays away games.

Thus, null hypothesis is;

H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

The only correct option is D.

When a sprinkler is installed in the ground, the spray of water goes up and falls in the pattern of a parabola. The height, in inches, of a spray of water is given by the equation h(x)=160x−16x2 where x is the number of feet away from the sprinkler head the spray is. What is the height of the spray 2 feet away from the sprinkler head?

Answers

Answer:

(1) 256 inches

(2) 5 feet

(3) 400 inches

(4) 10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) The function that gives the height in inches of the spray of water at a distance x from the sprinkler head is given as follows;

h(x) = 160·x - 16·x²

At x = 2 feet, we have;

h(2) = 160 × 2 - 16 × 2² = 256

Therefore, the height of the spray water at a horizontal distance of 2 feet from the sprinkler head h(2) = 256 inches

(2) The x-coordinate, [tex]x_{max}[/tex], of the maximum point of a parabola given in the form, y = a·x² + b·x + c is found using the following formula;

[tex]x_{max}[/tex] = -b/(2·a)

The x-coordinate, [tex]x_{max}[/tex], of the maximum point of the given equation of the parabola, h(x) = 160·x - 16·x², (a = -16, b = 160) is therefore;

[tex]x_{max}[/tex] = -160/(2 × (-16)) = 5

Therefore, the number of feet along the way, the function will reach maximum height, [tex]x_{max}[/tex] = 5 feet

(3) The function, h(x) = 160·x - 16·x², will reach maximum height, [tex]h_{max}[/tex], at x = 5, therefore;

[tex]h_{max}[/tex] =  h(5) = 160 × 5 - 16 × 5² = 400

The maximum height of the spray, [tex]h_{max}[/tex] = 400 inches

(4) The water is at ground level where h(x) = 0, therefore;

At ground level, h(x) = 0 = 160·x - 16·x²

160·x - 16·x² = 0

∴ 16·x × (10 - x) = 0

By zero product rule, we 16·x = 0, or (10 - x)  = 0, from which we have;

x = 0, or x = 10

The water is at ground level at x = 0 and x = 10 feet, therefore, the water will hit the ground again (the second time after leaving the sprinkler head at x = 0) at x = 10 feet.
