An insurance office buys paper by the ream, 500 sheets, for use in the copier, fax, and printer. Each ream lasts an average of 4 days, with standard deviation 1 day. The distribution is normal, independent of previous reams. a. Find the probability that the next ream out- lasts the present one by more than 2 days. b. How many reams must be purchased if they are to last at least 60 days with probability at least 80%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) the probability that the next ream out- lasts the present one by more than 2 days is 0.0787

b) the number of reams that must be purchased is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Lets X₁ and X₂ be the two random variables that represents the first and second ream lasts

given that both random variables follow normal distribution with mean 4 and standard deviation 1.

a)

Find the probability that the next ream out- lasts the present one by more than 2 days.

P( X₂  - X₁ > 2 ) = P( [(X₂  - X₁ - E(X₂  - X₁)) / √(V(X₂  - X₁)] > [ (2-E(X₂  - X₁))/√(V(X₂  - X₁) ]

= 1 - P( Z ≤ [2-(μ₂  - μ₁)] / [√( V(X₂) + V(X₁) ) ] )

= 1 - P( Z ≤ [2-(4  - 4)] / [√( 1 + 1 )] )

= 1 - P = ( Z ≤ 2 / √2 )

= 1 - p( Z ≤ 1.4142 )

from excel; p( Z ≤ 1.41 ) = 0.9213

P( X₂  - X₁ > 2 ) = 1 - 0.9213

P( X₂  - X₁ > 2 ) = 0.0787

Therefore, the probability that the next ream out- lasts the present one by more than 2 days is 0.0787

b)

How many reams must be purchased if they are to last at least 60 days with probability at least 80%

total value is 4n

standard deviation is nσ

so

P(nX ≥ 60 ) = 0.80

P( nX-nμ /nσ  ≥  60-nμ/nσ) = 0.80

P( Z ≥  60-4n/n) = 0.80

1 - P( Z ≥  60-4n/n) = 0.80

P( Z < z ) = 0.20

now since z = 60-4n/n

from standard normal table

critical value of z corresponding to cumulative area of 0.20 is -0.841

so

z = - 0.841

60-4n/n =  -0.841

60 - 4n =  -0.841n

60 = -0.841n + 4n

60 = 3.159n

n = 60 / 3.159

n = 18.99 ≈ 19

Therefore, the number of reams that must be purchased is 19

Diego has run 4/5 of a race distance. He has run 7 2/3 ​

Answers

Your question is incomplete, but I am guessing that it reads something like:

“Diego has run 4/5 of a race distance. He has run 7 2/3 miles. How long is the race? Or “how many miles does he have left?”

How long is the race? = 9 7/12 miles

4/5x = 7 2/3
4/5x = 23/3
x = 23/3 • 5/4
x = 115/12
x = 9.58333
x = 9 7/12 miles

How many miles does he have left? = 1 1/12 miles


1/5 • 115/12 = 115/60 = 1.916666
= 1 55/60 = 1 11/12 miles


Let me know if I didn’t guess your question correctly and I will try to help more.

So all we have to do is solver for ∠BAC

Remember the sum of the triangles angles is 180 so to find ∠BAC

we subtract the given angles (83 and 31) from  180

180-83-31=66

Pineapple Corporation (PC) maintains that their cans have always contained an average of 12 ounces of fruit. The production group believes that the mean weight has changed. They take a sample of 15 cans and find a sample mean of 12.05 ounces and a sample standard deviation of .08 ounces. What conclusion can we make from the appropriate hypothesis test at the .01 level of significance

Answers

Answer:

We accept the null hypothesis, that is, that the mean weight of the cans is still of 12 ounces of fruit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pineapple Corporation (PC) maintains that their cans have always contained an average of 12 ounces of fruit.

This means that the null hypothesis is: [tex]H_0: \mu = 12[/tex]

The production group believes that the mean weight has changed.

This means that the alternate hypothesis is:

[tex]H_a: \mu \neq 12[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

12 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 12[/tex]

They take a sample of 15 cans and find a sample mean of 12.05 ounces and a sample standard deviation of .08 ounces.

This means, respectibely, that [tex]n = 15, X = 12.05, \sigma = 0.08[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{12.05 - 12}{\frac{0.08}{\sqrt{15}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 2.42[/tex]

Pvalue of the test:

We are testing if the mean is different from a value, which means that the pvalue is 2 multiplied by 1 subtracted by the pvalue of z = 2.42.

Looking at the z-table, z = 2.42 has a pvalue of 0.9922

1 - 0.9922 = 0.0078

2*0.0078 = 0.0156

What conclusion can we make from the appropriate hypothesis test at the .01 level of significance?

0.0156 > 0.01. This means that at the 0.01 level, we accept the null hypothesis, that is, that the mean weight of the cans is still of 12 ounces of fruit.

Sarah is solving for X by the process of completing the square for the following problem..

2x^2+16x-12=0

She got to this point below - type the number that goes in the (?) spot

(x+?)^2=22

Answers

Answer:4

Step-by-step explanation: Since she did it by completing the square, then you must do the same thing to get the same form so you can see what that number is.

So first subtract the constant which is -12 so we need to add twelve to get the constant on the other side. So we now have 2x^2+16x=12

The constant of the x^2 must be 1 so we need to divide by 2 on every term to get x^2+8x=12

So to make it so to get a perfect factor we need to divide the x factor by 2 so we get 4.

So the answer is 4 cause it is a perfect factor so were going to get 4 on both factors.

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+2(x)(?)+?²=22

multiply by 2 because the coefficient of the higher degree in the first equation is 2

2x²+2(2(x)(?))+2(?²)-2(22)=0

2x²+4x(?)+2?²-44=0

Comparison

4x(?)=16x

?=4

2?²-44=-12

So, 2?²=-12+44

2?²=32

?²=16

?=4

What is the equation of the horizontal asymptote?
A. y = 0
B. x = 0
C. y = x
D. x = 2

Answers

Answer:

horizontal asymptote at y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the definition of asymptotes, it is a line that the function gets closer and closer to as x goes to plus or minus infinity. The definition clearly does not mention anything about the finite value of x.

However, crossing of asymptotes does not happen in the case of vertical asymptotes because for a given x, the function has only one value but the same y can be obtained for different values of x.

It is a common misconception that graphs of functions can’t cross the asymptotes. This is true only for vertical asymptotes. In fact, there are several examples of functions whose graphs cross the horizontal asymptote. For example:

f(x) = (xe)^((-x)^2)

The horizontal asymptote of the above function is y=0 but it still crosses the x axis at x=0.

Answer:

  x = {-0.5-√1.25, -0.5+√1.25, 2, -0.5+i√0.75, -0.5-i√0.75}

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to use a graphing calculator to find clues as to the roots of higher-degree polynomials. Here, we see that x=2 is the only real rational root. Dividing that out by synthetic division, we see the remaining quartic factor is ...

  2x^5 -6x^3 -4x^2 -2x +4 = 0

  2(x -2)(x^4 +2x^3 +x^2 -1) = 0

We can recognize that the quartic factor is actually the difference of two squares:

  x^4 +2x^3 +x^2 -1 = (x^2 +x)^2 -1 = 0

So it resolves to two quadratic factors.

  (x^2 +x +1)(x^2 +x -1) = 0

One will have real roots, as shown by the graph. The other will have complex roots.

  x^2 +x + 1/4 = 1 +1/4 . . . . complete the square for the factor with real roots

  (x +1/2)^2 = 5/4

  x = -1/2 ± √(5/4) . . . . . . irrational real roots

__

  x^2 +x = -1 . . . . . . . . . . the quadratic factor with complex roots

  (x +1/2)^2 = -1 +1/4 . . . complete the square

  x = -1/2 ± i√(3/4) . . . . irrational complex roots

__

In summary, the values of x that satisfy the equation are ...

 x = 2

  x = -1/2 ± √(5/4)

  x = -1/2 ± i√(3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Separate the bookmark into simpler shapes as described in the problem: a rectangle and a circle (two semicircles of the same size).

Find the area of the simpler figures.

Rectangle

A = LW

A = 14 · 4

A = 56

The area of the rectangle is 56 cm2.

Circle

A = πr2

A = 3.14(2)2

A = 3.14(4)

A = 12.56

The area of the circle is 12.56 cm2.

Find the area of the bookmark.

A = 56 + 12.56

A = 68.56

The area of the bookmark is 68.56 cm².
