Answer:

(a) The proportion of the diameters are less than 25.0 mm is 0.1056.

(b) The 10th percentile of the diameters is 24.99 mm.

(c) The ball bearing that has a diameter of 25.2 mm is at the 84th percentile.

(d) The proportion of the ball bearings meeting the specification is 0.8881.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = diameters of ball bearings.

The random variable <em>X</em> is normally distributed with mean, <em>μ</em> = 25.1 mm and standard deviation, <em>σ</em> = 0.08 mm.

To compute the probability of a Normally distributed random variable we need to first convert the raw scores to <em>z</em>-scores as follows:

<em>z</em> = (X - μ) ÷ σ

(a)

Compute the probability of <em>X</em> < 25.0 mm as follows:

P (X < 25.0) = P ((X - μ)/σ < (25.0-25.1)/0.08)

= P (Z < -1.25)

= 1 - P (Z < 1.25)

= 1 - 0.8944

= 0.1056

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the proportion of the diameters are less than 25.0 mm is 0.1056.

(b)

The 10th percentile implies that, P (X < x) = 0.10.

Compute the 10th percentile of the diameters as follows:

P (X < x) = 0.10

P ((X - μ)/σ < (x-25.1)/0.08) = 0.10

P (Z < z) = 0.10

<em>z</em> = -1.282

The value of <em>x</em> is:

z = (x - 25.1)/0.08

-1.282 = (x - 25.1)/0.08

x = 25.1 - (1.282 × 0.08)

= 24.99744

≈ 24.99

Thus, the 10th percentile of the diameters is 24.99 mm.

(c)

Compute the value of P (X < 25.2) as follows:

P (X < 25.2) = P ((X - μ)/σ < (25.2-25.1)/0.08)

= P (Z < 1.25)

= 0.8944

≈ 0.84

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the ball bearing that has a diameter of 25.2 mm is at the 84th percentile.

(d)

Compute the value of P (25.0 < X < 25.3) as follows:

P (25.0 < X < 25.3) = P ((25.0-25.1)/0.08 < (X - μ)/σ < (25.3-25.1)/0.08)

= P (-1.25 < Z < 2.50)

= P (Z < 2.50) - P (Z < -1.25)

= 0.99379 - 0.10565

= 0.88814

≈ 0.8881

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the proportion of the ball bearings meeting the specification is 0.8881.

A direct variation function contains the points (–9, –3) and (–12, –4). Which equation represents the function?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

First, find the slope between the two points.
Slope = y2-y1 / x2-x1
-4+3/ -12+9
-1/-3
1/3 is the slope of this equation.
You do not have to go any further to find b or the y-intercept because it appears that b or the y-intercept is 0 in this case.
y= 1/3x or in other words y= x/3

Carolina is mowing lawns for a summer job. For every mowing job, she charges an initial fee plus \$6$6dollar sign, 6 for each ho

Margarita [4]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

t: number of hours

F (t): total charge

We write the function that models the problem:

$F (t) = 6t + b$

Where,

b: represents an initial fee.

We must find the value of b.

For this, we use the following data:

Her total fee for a 4-hour job, for instance, is $ 32.

We have then:

$32 = 6 (4) + b$

From here, we clear the value of b:

$32 = 24 + b$

$32-24 = b$

$b = 8$

Then, the function that models the problem is:

$F (t) = 6t + 8$

Answer:

the function's formula is:

$F (t) = 6t + 8$

Maya bought a dozen specialty donuts at the bakery for $18. She purchased a mixture of frosted donuts for $2 each, glazed donuts

Zina [86]

Answer:

The quantity of frosted donuts = 2

The quantity of glazed donuts = 9

The quantity of custard filled donuts = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quantity of frosted donuts = $x$

Let the quantity of glazed donuts = $y$

Let the quantity of custard filled donuts = $z$

As per question statements, following equations can be made:

$x+y+z=12......(1)\\2x+y+5z=18.....(2)\\x=2z ...... (3)$

Putting $x=2x$ in (1) and (2):

$y+3z=12 .... (4)\\y+9z=18 .... (5)$

Subtracting (4) from (5):

$6z=6\\\Rightarrow z =\bold{1}$

By equation (3):

$x=\bold{2}$

By equation (1):

$y=\bold{9}$

Therefore, the answers are:

The quantity of frosted donuts = 2

The quantity of glazed donuts = 9

The quantity of custard filled donuts = 1

Consider sampling heights from the population of all female college soccer players in the United States. Assume the mean height

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

B) .35

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem:

$\sigma = 3.5, n = 100$

Then

$s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$s = \frac{3.5}{\sqrt{100}}$

$s = 0.35$

So the correct answer is:

B) .35
