Motorola used the normal distribution to determine the probability of defects and the number of defects expected in a production

process. Assume a production process produces items with a mean weight of 10 ounces. 1. The process standard deviation is 0.15 and the process control is set at plus or minus on standard deviation, so units with weights less than 9.85 oz or greater than 10.15 oz will be classified as defects. Find the probability of a defect and the expected number of defects for a 1000-unit production run.

Answer:

32% probability of a defect.

The expected number of defects for a 1000-unit production run is 320.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 10

Standard deviation = 0.15.

Probability of a defect

Weights less than 9.85 oz or greater than 10.15 oz will be classified as defects.

9.85 = 10 - 0.15

10.15 = 10 + 0.15

By the Empirical Rule, 68% of weights are between 9.85 and 10.15, that is, within the limits. 32% are not within the limits.

So there is a 32% probability of a defect.

Expected number of defects for a 1000-unit production run.

E(X) = 0.32*1000 = 320

The expected number of defects for a 1000-unit production run is 320.

Answer:

$a \approx -2.826$ , $b \approx 7.072$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the vector must be transformed into its polar form:

$r = \sqrt{3^{2}+ (-7)^{2}}$

$r \approx 7.616$

$\theta \approx 2\pi - \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{7}{3} \right)$

$\theta \approx 1.629\pi$

Let assume that vector is rotated counterclockwise. The new angle is:

$\theta' = \theta + \frac{3\pi}{4}$

$\theta' = 2.379\pi$

Which is coterminal with $\theta'' = 0.379\pi$ . The reflection across y-axis is:

$\theta''' = \pi - \theta''$

$\theta''' = 0.621\pi$

The equivalent vector in rectangular coordinates is:

$a = 7.616\cdot \cos 0.621\pi$

$a \approx -2.826$

$b = 7.616\cdot \sin 0.621\pi$

$b \approx 7.072$

cluponka [151]

Answer:

<h3>246.6 meters per hour</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Speed uphill 100meters per hour

Speed on flat ground 120 meters per hour

Speed uphill 150 meters per hour.

Required

The average speed.

Step two:

To get the average speed, let us add all the individual speeds and divide by 3(three different speeds), then multiply the result by 2(the return trip)

Average speed= (100+120+150)*2/3

Average speed= 740/3

Average speed= 246.6 meters per hour
