The manufacturer of an extended-life lightbulb claims the bulb has an average life of 12,000 hours, with a standard deviation of

500 hours. If the distribution is bell shaped and symmetrical, what is the approximate percentage of these bulbs that will last between 11,000 and 13,000 hours?

Answer:

95.44%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean(μ) = 12000 hrs

Standard deviation (σ) = 500 hrs

Let X be a random variable which is a measure of the extended life of the light bulb.

The probability that these bulbs will last between 11,000 and 13,000 hours = Pr(11000 ≤ X ≤ 13000)

For normal distribution

Z = (x - μ)/ σ

Pr[(11000 - 12000)/500 ≤ (x - μ) /σ ≤μ

≤ (13000 - 12000)/500]

= Pr(-1000/500 ≤ z ≤ 1000/500)

= Pr(-2 ≤ z ≤ 2)

Pr(-2 ≤ z ≤ 2) = Pr(-2 ≤ z ≤ 0) + Pr(0 ≤ z ≤ 2)

By symmetry

Pr(-2 ≤ z ≤ 0) = Pr(0 ≤ z ≤ 2)

Therefore

Pr(-2 ≤ z ≤ 2) = 2Pr(0 ≤ z ≤ 2)

= 2(0.4772)

= 0.9544

Pr(-2 ≤ z ≤ 2) = 0.9544*100

= 95.44%

Two-digit natural numbers are formed, with replacement, from the digits 0 through 9.
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The first digit of a two digit number can be any of digits 1 - 9. It cannot be 0 though. Therefore there are 9 possible digits for the first place.

There are 5 possible digits for the second position. The two digit number has to be odd and therefore the final digit must be 1,3,5,7 or 9

Therefore for each and every one of the nine first digits there are 5 digits that the second can be.

Therefore ANSWER = 9 * 5 = 45 possible permutations.

2. The largest two digit number = 99

Subtract 57 and you get 42

ANSWER = 42

The forty two numbers are 58 ,59, 60, 61......98, 99

The domain is
{x | x >=0}
Or simply [0, infinity)
Since Haley can not use any negative minutes.

The range is
{y | y >=20}
Or simply [20, infinity)
This is because if Haley doesn't use any minutes, the price will stay at $20.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

£288150

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll use the formula

PRT/100= interest

But in this case we are looking for principal P

Rate= 2%

Interest= £5763

T=1

P= (I*100)/(RT)

P= (5763*100)/(2*1)

P= 288150

The principal is £288150

What is the greatest common factor of 60x4y7, 45x5y5, and 75x3y? 5xy 15x3y 45x3y5 75x5y7
Pepsi [2]
I believe it’s 5xy since all the numbers are factors of five and since each number contains the variables xy.
