The diameters of apples from a certain farm follow the normal distribution with mean 4 inches and standard deviation 0.4 inch. A

pples can be size-sorted by being made to roll over mesh screens. First the apples are rolled over a screen with mesh size 3.5 inches. This separates out all the apples with diameters less than 3.5 inches. Second, the remaining apples are rolled over a screen with mesh size 4.3 inches. Find the proportion of apples with diameters less than 3.5 inches.

Answer:

P = 10%

Explanation:

Let,

  • µ = mean of the population = 4 inches
  • σ = standard deviation = 0.4 inches
  • X= a random variable that gives apple’s diameter
  • P [X < 3.5] = P-value is the probability of apples which will be separated after passing through the mesh screen

After putting all the values in the formula, we will find the value of Z-score from the chart.

P [X < 3.5]      = P [ \frac{X-4}{0.4} < \frac{3.5-4}{0.4} ]

P [Z < -1.25]    = 0.09680

About 10% of the apples possess diameters less than 3.5 inches.

Answer:

The probability for the proportion of apples with diameters less than 3.5 inches is 0.1056.

Explanation:

For a normal distribution, z score is calculated using this formula:  (X-μ)/σx

Where Mean, μ = 4

Standard deviation, σ = 0.400

The probability for the proportion of apples with diameters less than 3.5 inches is expressed below:

Probability = P(X<3.5)

                  = P(Z<-1.25)

Probability  = 0.1056

jonny [76]

Answer:

(a) 0.0178 Ω

(b) 3.4 A

(c) 6.4 x 10⁵ A/m²

(d) 9.01 x 10⁻³ V/m

Explanation:

(a)

σ = Electrical conductivity = 7.1 x 10⁷ Ω-m⁻¹

d = diameter of the wire = 2.6 mm = 2.6 x 10⁻³ m

Area of cross-section of the wire is given as

A = (0.25) π d²

A = (0.25) (3.14) (2.6 x 10⁻³)²

A = 5.3 x 10⁻⁶ m²

L = length of the wire = 6.7 m

Resistance of the wire is given as

R=\frac{L}{A\sigma }

R=\frac{6.7}{(5.3\times10^{-6})(7.1\times10^{7}) }

R = 0.0178 Ω

(b)

V = potential drop across the ends of wire = 0.060 volts

i = current flowing in the wire

Using ohm's law, current flowing is given as

i = \frac{V}{R}

i = \frac{0.060}{0.0178}

i = 3.4 A

(c)

Current density is given as

J = \frac{i}{A}

J = \frac{3.4}{5.3\times10^{-6}}

J = 6.4 x 10⁵ A/m²

(d)

Magnitude of electric field is given as

E = \frac{J}{\sigma }

E = \frac{6.4 \times 10^{5}}{ 7.1 \times 10^{7}}

E = 9.01 x 10⁻³ V/m

An experiment to measure the speed of light uses an apparatus similar to Fizeau's. The distance between the light source and the
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

2.88*10^{8} m/s

Explanation:

The speed of light is given by

c=\frac {2d}{t} and t=\frac {\theta}{\omega} hence

c=\omega\frac {2d}{\theta}

Speed of light is given by

c=900\times 2\pi(\frac {2\times 10}{\frac {2\pi}{2*800}}})=2.88*10^{8} m/s

If a rock is thrown upward on the planet mars with a velocity of 11 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h =
Butoxors [25]
(a) 3.56 m/s 
(b) 11 - 3.72a 
(c) t = 5.9 s 
(d) -11 m/s  
For most of these problems, you're being asked the velocity of the rock as a function of t, while you've been given the position as a function of t. So first calculate the first derivative of the position function using the power rule. 
y = 11t - 1.86t^2 
y' = 11 - 3.72t 
Now that you have the first derivative, it will give you the velocity as a function of t. 
(a) Velocity after 2 seconds. 
y' = 11 - 3.72t 
y' = 11 - 3.72*2 = 11 - 7.44 = 3.56 
So the velocity is 3.56 m/s  
(b) Velocity after a seconds. 
y' = 11 - 3.72t 
y' = 11 - 3.72a  
So the answer is 11 - 3.72a  
(c) Use the quadratic formula to find the zeros for the position function y = 11t-1.86t^2. Roots are t = 0 and t = 5.913978495. The t = 0 is for the moment the rock was thrown, so the answer is t = 5.9 seconds.  
(d) Plug in the value of t calculated for (c) into the velocity function, so: 
y' = 11 - 3.72a
 y' = 11 - 3.72*5.913978495
 y' = 11 - 22
 y' = -11 
 So the velocity is -11 m/s which makes sense since the total energy of the rock will remain constant, so it's coming down at the same speed as it was going up.
