A tire company measures the tread on newly-produced tires and finds that they are normally distributed with a mean depth of 0.98

mm and a standard deviation of 0.35mm. Find the probability that a randomly selected tire will have a depth less than 0.70mm. Would this outcome warrant a refund (meaning that it would be unusual)?

Answer:

0.212 is the probability that a randomly selected tire will have a depth less than 0.70 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ =  0.98 mm

Standard Deviation, σ =  0.35 mm

We are given that the distribution of tire tread is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) P(depth less than 0.70 mm)

P(x < 0.70)

P( x < 0.70) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{0.70 - 0.98}{0.35}) = P(z < -0.8)

Calculating from normal z table, we have:

P(z

P(x < 0.70) = 0.212 = 21.2\%

Thus, this event is not unusual and will  not warrant a refund.

Solve for x in the equation ? 2x^2 +3 x-7 =x^2 +5x +39
otez555 [7]

Answer:

1 ± √47

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms in 2x^2 +3 x-7 =x^2 +5x +39:

2x^2 - x^2 = x^2 (first term);

3x - 5x = -2x (second term);

-7 - 39 = -46 (third term)

Then we have, all on the left side, x^2 - 2x - 46, which is a quadratic equation.  Here the coefficients are a = 1, b = -2 and c = -46.

Then the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac, is:

(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-46) = 4 + 184.

The roots are:

     -(-2) ±√188         2 ± √4√47

    ------------------- = -------------------

              2                         2

                             = 1 ± √47 (last of the answer choices)

The double cone is intersected by a vertical plane passing through the point where the tips of the cones meet. What is the shape
Leni [432]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The double cone is a cone on top of another cone. The bottom cone has the circular base on the bottom and the tip on top. The upper cone is upside down, and the two tips touch. Since the vertical plane goes through the tips of both cones, the cross section must have a shape that  gets to a point at the middle of the height.

Answer: B. One triangle with the tip on top and an inverted triangle above it with the tips touching.

If an exponential model was used to fit the data set below, which of the following would be the best prediction for the output o
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The equation is found to be: y = 50.6e^{0.16x}

y(20) = 1241.34

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data is:

x:   3          7         11        14          17

y: 83      142      301     450      722

Now, we find sum summation values, relevant to the formula of exponential regression model, using calculator:

∑ ln y = 27.77305, ∑x ln y = 308.1494, ∑x = 52, ∑ x² = 664

and, n = no. of data points = 5

Now, we use formulae of exponential regression model to find out values of constant:

b = (n∑x lny - ∑x ∑ln y)/[n∑x² - (∑x)²]

b = [(5)(308.1494) - (52)(27.77305)]/[(5)(664) - (52)²]

b = 0.16

Now, for a;

a = (∑ln y - b∑x)/n

Therefore,

a = [(27.77305) - (0.16)(52)]/5

a = 3.9

For, α:

α = e^a = e^3.9

α = 50.6

So, the final equation of exponential regression model is given as:

y = \alpha e^{bx}\\ y = 50.6e^{0.16x}

Now, we find value of y for x = 20:

y(20) = (50.6) e^(0.16*20)

<u>y(20) = 1241.34</u>

Darcie wants to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets to donate to a homeless shelter. Darcie crochets at a rate of 1/15 ​ of a blanke
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Darcie wants to donate minimum 3 blankets to donate to a homeless shelter.  No of days left =60

No of days to complete one blanket = 1/(1/15) = 15 days

Hence in 60 days she has to complete ≥3 blankets

No of days she has to utilize for this will be ≥3(15)=45

No of days she can skip crocheting ≤15

Let x be the no of days crocheted and y no of days skipped

Then x+y≤60

See the graph attached as x axis for days crocheted and y for days skipped

No of blankets can be either 3 or 4.

A clothing store is having a sale on holiday socks. Each pair of socks costs x dollars. You leave the store with 6 pairs of sock
ss7ja [257]

Answer: $ 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the cost of 1 pair of socks = x

The cost of 6 pair of socks = 6 x

Total amount spend = $ 40

According to the question,

6 x - 14 = 40

6 x = 40 + 14

6 x  = 54

x = 9

Thus, the original price of one pair of socks = $ 9

⇒ The original price of 6 pairs of socks = $ 54

Hence, the total change = original price of socks - the price of socks in the sale = 54 - 40 =  $ 14
