The tensile strength of paper is modeled by a normal distribution with a mean of 35 pounds per square inch and a standard deviation of 2 pounds per square inch.

Required:
a. What is the probability that the strength of a sample is less than 38 lb/in²?
b. If the specifications require the tensile strength to exceed 30 lb/in², what proportion of the samples is scrapped?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) the probability that the strength of a sample is less than 38 lb/in² is approximately 0.9332

b) approximately 0.62% of the sample are scrapped

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

What is the probability that the strength of a sample is less than 38 lb/in²?

lets X rep the paper tensile strength in pounds per square inch.

the probability that the strength of the sample is less than 38 lb/in²

i.e P( X < 38 )

so assuming that X is normally distributed with u = 35 lb/in² and α = 2 lb/in²,

so the probability expression P( X < 38 ) can be standardized as

P( X < 38 ) = P( (X-35)/2  < (38-35)/2)  

= P( X < 1.5 )  

from the cumulative standard normal distribution table,

we find P( X < 1.5 )  =  0.9332

so

P( X < 38 ) = P( X < 1.5 )  

= 0.9332

therefore the probability that the strength of a sample is less than 38 lb/in² is approximately 0.9332

b)

If the specifications require the tensile strength to exceed 30 lb/in², what proportion of the samples is scrapped?

this can be represented as P( X < 30 )

By standardization the probability expression  P( X < 30 ) can be transformed as;

P( X < 30 ) = P( (X-35)/2 < (30-35)/2)  

=  P( z < -2.5 )

from the cumulative standard normal distribution table,

we find P( X < -2.5 )  =  0.0062

so

P( X < 30 ) = P( X < -2.5 )  

= 0.0062

therefore, approximately 0.62% of the sample are scrapped

-413.4=-15.9n please help

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {n = 26}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for [tex]n[/tex]:

[tex]-413.4 = -15.9n[/tex]

-Switch sides:

[tex]-15.9n = -413.4[/tex]

-Divide both sides by [tex]15.9[/tex] and expand by multiplying both numerator and denominator by [tex]10[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{-15.9n}{-15.9} = \frac{-413.4}{-15.9}[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{-4134}{-159}[/tex]

-Divide [tex]-4134[/tex] and [tex]-159[/tex]:

[tex]n = \frac{-4134}{-159}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed {n = 26}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]n[/tex] is [tex]26[/tex].

Determine whether the Mean Value Theorem can be applied to f on the closed interval [a, b]. If the Mean Value Theorem can be applied, find all values of c in the open interval (a, b) such that f '(c) = f (b) − f (a) b − a . If the Mean Value Theorem cannot be applied, explain why not.

f(x) = x^3 + 2x, [-1,1]

Answers

Answer:

There is a value of [tex]c[/tex] in (-1, 1), [tex]c = 0.577[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]f(x) = x^{3}+2\cdot x[/tex] for [tex]x \in[-1,1][/tex], we need to prove that [tex]f(x)[/tex] is continuous and differentiable to apply the Mean Value Theorem. Given that [tex]f(x)[/tex] is a polynomical function, its domain comprises all real numbers and therefore, function is continuous.

If [tex]f(x)[/tex] is differentiable, then [tex]f'(x)[/tex] exists for all value of [tex]x[/tex]. By definition of derivative, we obtain the following expression:

[tex]f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}[/tex]

[tex]f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(x+h)^{3}+2\cdot (x+h)-x^{3}-2\cdot x}{h}[/tex]

[tex]f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{x^{3}+3\cdot x^{2}\cdot h+3\cdot x\cdot h^{2}+h^{3}+2\cdot x+2\cdot h-x^{3}-2\cdot x}{h}[/tex]

[tex]f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{3\cdot x^{2}\cdot h+3\cdot x\cdot h^{2}+h^{3}+2\cdot h}{h}[/tex]

[tex]f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} 3\cdot x^{2}+ \lim_{h \to 0} 3\cdot x \cdot h+ \lim_{h \to 0} h^{2}+ \lim_{h \to 0} 2[/tex]

[tex]f'(x) = 3\cdot x^{2}+2[/tex] (Eq. 2)

The derivative of a cubic function is quadratic function, which is also a polynomic function. Hence, the function is differentiable at the given interval.

According to the Mean Value Theorem, the following relationship is fulfilled:

[tex]f'(c) = \frac{f(1)-f(-1)}{1-(-1)}[/tex] (Eq. 3)

If we know that [tex]f(-1) = -3[/tex], [tex]f(1) = 3[/tex] and [tex]f'(c) = 3\cdot c^{2}+2[/tex], then we expand the definition as follows:

[tex]3\cdot c^{2}+2 = 3[/tex]

[tex]3\cdot c^{2} = 1[/tex]

[tex]c = \sqrt{\frac{1}{3} }[/tex]

[tex]c \approx 0.577[/tex]

There is a value of [tex]c[/tex] in the interval (-1, 1), [tex]c = 0.577[/tex].

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line. Identify the slopes y-intercept

Answers

Answer:

10) m: 6

    b: 5

    y= 6x +5

12)  m: -2

     b: -1

     y= -2x-1

14)  m: 1

     b: 0

     y= x

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form is the form y=mx+b

m is the slope. You can find it by finding two points that the line intersects, and counting the number of units between them.

Remember the slope is "rise over run", so, the difference in y over the difference in x.

b is the y-intercept. You can find it by looking at where the line crosses the y-axis.

help me (a) The total cost of rent is determined by recording x months of rent at $1400 per month, plus a $150 application fee.

Answers

Answer:

$1400x  + $150

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total cost of rent used for a month be $1400 plus a $150 application fee.

This means that;

Total cost (1 month) = $1400(1) + $150 = $1550

TO calculate the cost for x months, we will simply multiply x with the cost of rent for 1 month as shown.

The cost of rent for x month = 1400x * $150

The cost of rent for x month = $1400x  + $150 (application fee are paid only once)

Answers

Answer:

4. y = -1/2x + 5

5. y = -1/3x + 3

6. y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

For #4:

Because these lines are parallel, we know that they will have the same slope.

To get b, or the y-intercept, I just started at the point (4,4) and used the slope to work backwards to the y-axis. This is really not the best way to do it (especially with big numbers) but it works in a pinch. Also, I forgot the better way :/

For #5:

These lines are perpendicular. That means that the slopes are reciprocals of the other and, when multiplied with each other, the answer will be -1.

The reciprocal of 3 is -1/3.

To get the y-intercept, I did the same as above.

For #6:

x = 2 is a vertical line. To make a line perpendicular to it, that is, to make a line that intersects with it at 90°, the answer line will have to be horizontal.

That means that our answer is y = ?

We know that the line passes through a very specific point (2,1), and the line provided in the question already gives us the x value of this point. All we have to do is set y equal to the y value.

So, y = 1.

I hope this helps!
