We need to figure out how much string would be left, after taking away the first two pieces.
We know that the first piece is 20 inches long, so we can say that there is 52-20 inches left, or 32 inches.

The second piece is between 12 and 18 inches, meaning that there would be between 32-12 and 32-18 inches left for the third piece, or 20 and 14 inches. This means that the third piece would be at least 14 inches long, but no more than 20, since we don’t have more string than that (20+12+20=52, and 20+14+18=52)

So we can say that x is greater or equal to 14, but less than or equal to 20, or:

14<=x<=20 (“<=“ is written like a normal “<“ sign with a line _ right under it)

Nana76 [90]

Answer: 0.0026

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mean : \mu=8.4\text{ hours}

Standard Deviation : \sigma = 1.8\text{ hours}

Sample size : n=40

Formula to calculate z-score :-

z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

For X=7.6 hours.

z=\dfrac{7.6-8.4}{\dfrac{1.8}{\sqrt{40}}}=-2.81091347571\approx-2.8

P(X

Hence, the probability that their mean rebuild time is less than 7.6 hours = 0.0026

En una cancha se va a pintar la circunferencia central que tiene un diámetro de 5 m .¿cual es la longitud de la circunferencia?
Alona [7]

Answer:

The length of the circumference is 5\pi\ m  or 15.70\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question in English is</em></u>

On a court, the central circumference will be painted, which has a diameter of 5 m. What is the length of the circumference?

we know that

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula

C=\pi D

we have

D=5\ m

substitute

C=\pi (5)\\C=5\pi\ m

This is the exact value

assume

\pi=3.24

C=5(3.14)=15.70\ m

A producer of steel cables wants to know whether the steel cables it produces have an average breaking strength of 5000 pounds.
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The producer needs his cables to have an average breaking strength of 5000 pounds. A lower average breaking strength means that the cable is not adequate, a higher average breaking strength results in an unnecessary increase in production costs.

The sample is of 64 steel cables and the breaking strength of the pieces was recorded.

I always recommend that the first step to any statistic exercise is to establish the study variable that way you'll have fresh in mind the kind of data set you are working with and the type of distribution to expect from them (for example if it is a discrete variable you'd expect a binomial distribution, a continuous variable leads to a normal distribution (exact or approximate) a categorical variable sets the path to work with non-parametrical statistics such as Chi-Square statistics.)

In this example the study variable is:

X: Breaking strength of a steel cable.

This variable is continuous so first I'll use the sample information to test its distribution. Keep in mind that one of the conditions to use the Student t-test is that the variable has a normal distribution.

The p-value for the normality test is 0.8512, comparing it with the level of significance of the test (α: 0.05) the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis of the normality test, so you can conclude that the breaking strength of the steel cables has a normal distribution:

X~N(μ;σ²)

1.

The standard error of the test is the square root of the variance.

Using the following formula you have to calculate the variance:

S^2= \frac{1}{n-1}*(sumX^2-(\frac{(sumX)^2}{n} ))

n=64

∑X= 330174.88

∑X²= 1718980202.34

S^2= \frac{1}{63}*(1718980202.34-(\frac{(330174.88)^2}{64} ))

S²= 2478376895

S= 497.8329 ≅497.833

2.

For this test the hypotheses are:

H₀: μ = 5000

H₁:  μ ≠ 5000

t= \frac{Xbar-Mu}{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } }

The sample mean is:

Xbar= ∑X/n)= 330174.88/64=5158.98

‬t= \frac{5158.98-5000}{\frac{497.833}{\sqrt{64} } }

t= 158.98/62.229= 2.555

3.

This test is two-tailed and so is the p-value. I've used statistics software to calculate it:

p-value 0.0131

4.

Using a significance level of 5%, since the p-value is less than α, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis. You can conclude at this level that the average breaking strength of the steel cables is different than 5000.

I hope this helps!

Write and solve the inequality three times a number plus five is less than three-fourths of the number. Please help!
Schach [20]
3(n+5) < 3/4(n)

The three is multiplied by n+5. Whenever you see "is equal to/greater/less than," that is where you put your =, >, or < signs. Your variable, "n" represents the number. So three-fourths of the number is the same as multiplying the number by three-fourths.
