IM Systems assembles microcomputers from generic components. It purchases flat screen monitors from a manufacturer in Taiwan; thus, there is a long lead time of 25 days. Daily demand is normally distributed with a mean of 3.5 monitors and a standard deviation of 1.2 monitors. The company maintains a 90% customer service level. How much safety stock of monitors should IM Systems hold

Answers

Given Information:

Mean daily demand  = 3.5 monitors

standard deviation daily demand = 1.2 monitors

Lead time = 25 days

customer service level = 90%

Required Information:

Safety Stock = ?

Answer:

Safety Stock = 8 monitors

Step-by-step explanation:

The  safety stock  of monitors that IM Systems should hold is given by

[tex]Safety \:\: Stock = z \times \sigma \times \sqrt{n}[/tex]

Where σ is the standard deviation of daily demand, n is the lead time and z is the z-score corresponding to 90% service level.

From the z-table, the z-score corresponding to 90% is found to be

z = 1.282

So the required safety stock  is

 [tex]Safety \:\: Stock = z \times \sigma \times \sqrt{n} \\\\Safety \:\: Stock = 1.282 \times 1.2 \times \sqrt{25} \\\\Safety \:\: Stock = 1.282 \times 1.2 \times 5 \\\\Safety \:\: Stock = 7.692\\\\[/tex]

Rounding off to nearest whole number yields

Safety Stock = 8 monitors

Therefore, IM Systems should hold 8 monitors.

Answers

Answer:

2x - y - 3 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Find slope-intercept form first: y = mx + b

Step 1: Pick out 2 points

In this case, I picked out (2, 1) and (0, -3) from the graph

Step 2: Using slope formula y2 - y1/x2 - x1 to find slope

√x+3 = √5x-1 Find the value of X

Answers

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(x+3) = sqrt(5x-1)

Square each side

x+3 = 5x-1

Subtract x from each side

3 = 4x-1

Add 1 to each side

4 =4x

Divide by 4

x=1

Answer:

x= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\sqrt{x+3}=\sqrt{5x-1}[/tex]

Square both sides.

x + 3 = 5x - 1

Subtract 3 and 5x on both sides.

x - 5x = -1 - 3

-4x = -4

Divide -4 into both sides.

-4x/-4 = -4/-4

x = 1

A complex electronic system is built with a certain number of backup components in its subsystems. One subsystem has eight identical components, each with a probability of 0.45 of failing in less than 1,000 hours. The sub system will operate if any four of the eight components are operating. Assume that the components operate independently. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

Required:
Find the probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.

Answers

Answer:

0.7396 = 73.96% probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each component, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they fail in less than 1000 hours, or they do not. The components operate independently. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Eight components:

This means that [tex]n = 8[/tex]

Probability of 0.45 of failing in less than 1,000 hours.

So 1 - 0.45 = 0.55 probability of working for longer than 1000 hours, which means that [tex]p = 0.55[/tex]

Find the probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.

We need at least four of the components operating. So

[tex]P(X \geq 4) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{8,4}.(0.55)^{4}.(0.45)^{4} = 0.2627[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{8,5}.(0.55)^{5}.(0.45)^{3} = 0.2568[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{8,6}.(0.55)^{6}.(0.45)^{2} = 0.1569[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{8,7}.(0.55)^{7}.(0.45)^{1} = 0.0548[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{8,8}.(0.55)^{8}.(0.45)^{0} = 0.0084[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 4) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) = 0.2627 + 0.2568 + 0.1569 + 0.0548 + 0.0084 = 0.7396[/tex]

0.7396 = 73.96% probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.

The makers of a soft drink want to identify the average age of its consumers. A sample of 25 consumers was taken. The average age in the sample was 31 years with a standard deviation of 3.8 years.The Margin of error of the 99% confidence interval for the average age of the consumers is a.1.90 years b.2.13 years c.4.10 years d.1.65 years

Answers

Answer:

a.1.90 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].

So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so [tex]z = 2.575[/tex]

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

In this question:

[tex]n = 25, \sigma = 3.8[/tex]

So

[tex]M = 2.575*\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{25}} = 1.90[/tex]

So the correct answer is:

a.1.90 years

[tex]\Delta=-54+0+24[/tex]

[tex]\Delta=-30[/tex]

Therefore, the value of determinant is -30.

By cofactor expansion across the second column, we get

[tex]\Delta=a_{12}C_{12}+a_{22}C_{22}+a_{32}C_{32}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta=0\left[(-1)^{2+1}\begin{vmatrix}2&3\\0&-2\end{vmatrix}\right]+3\left[(-1)^{2+2}\begin{vmatrix}3&3\\0&-2\end{vmatrix}\right]+4\left[(-1)^{3+2}\begin{vmatrix}3&3\\2&3\end{vmatrix}\right][/tex]

[tex]\Delta=0\left[(-1)(-4)\right]+3\left[(-6)\right]+4\left[(-1)3\right][/tex]

[tex]\Delta=-18-12[/tex]

[tex]\Delta=-30[/tex]

In a sample of 22 people, the average cost of a cup of coffee is $2.70. Assume the population standard deviation is $0.93. What is the 90% confidence interval for the cost of a cup of coffee

Answers

Answer:

$2.70+/-$0.33

= ( $2.37, $3.03)

Therefore, the 90% confidence interval (a,b) = ( $2.37, $3.03)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = $2.70

Standard deviation r = $0.93

Number of samples n = 22

Confidence interval = 90%

z(at 90% confidence) = 1.645

Substituting the values we have;

$2.70+/-1.645($0.93/√22)

$2.70+/-1.645($0.198276666210)

$2.70+/-$0.326165115916

$2.70+/-$0.33

= ( $2.37, $3.03)

Therefore, the 90% confidence interval (a,b) = ( $2.37, $3.03)

A regular octagon has what type of symmetry?

A.

line symmetry only

B.

point symmetry only

C.

both point and line symmetry

OD.

neither point nor line symmetry

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular octagon has 8 lines of symmetry.

The point of intersection of the lines of symmetry of a regular octagon is the point of symmetry.

A regular octagon has both point and line symmetry. Thus, option C is the right choice.

What are the different types of symmetry?

The different types of symmetry are:

Line symmetry: A shape is symmetric about a line when the two images formed on the two sides of the line are identical.Point symmetry: A shape is symmetric about a point, when the shape is rotated about the point for 180°, gives the same shape.Rotational symmetry: A shape is rotationally symmetric, when the shape on rotation about a point, with an angle of value less than 360°, gives the same shape back.

How to solve the given question?

In the question, we are asked about the types of symmetry that a regular octagon has.

A regular octagon has 8 lines of symmetry about which the shape divides itself into equal halves.

These are the 4 lines joining each opposite vertex, and the other 4 are the lines passing through the midpoints of opposite sides.

A regular octagon is point symmetric as 180° rotation about the point of intersection of the lines of symmetry gives the same shape back.

Thus, we can say that a regular octagon has both point and line symmetry. Thus, option C is the right choice.

A fence 6 feet tall runs parallel to a tall building at a distance of 6 feet from the building. We want to find the the length of the shortest ladder that will reach from the ground over the fence to the wall of the building. Here are some hints for finding a solution: Use the angle that the ladder makes with the ground to define the position of the ladder and draw a picture of the ladder leaning against the wall of the building and just touching the top of the fence. If the ladder makes an angle 0.82 radians with the ground, touches the top of the fence and just reaches the wall, calculate the distance along the ladder from the ground to the top of the fence. equation editorEquation Editor The distance along the ladder from the top of the fence to the wall is equation editorEquation Editor Using these hints write a function L(x) which gives the total length of a ladder which touches the ground at an angle x, touches the top of the fence and just reaches the wall. L(x) = equation editorEquation Editor . Use this function to find the length of the shortest ladder which will clear the fence. The length of the shortest ladder is equation editorEquation Editor feet.

Answer:

  12√2 feet ≈ 16.97 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

For the dimensions shown in the attached diagram, the distance "a" along the ladder from the ground to the fence is ...

  a = (6 ft)/sin(x) = (6 ft)/sin(0.82) ≈ 8.206 ft

The distance along the ladder from the top of the fence to the wall is ...

  b = (6 ft)/cos(x) = (6 ft)/cos(0.82) ≈ 8.795 ft

__

In general, the distance along the ladder from the ground to the wall is ...

  L(x) = a +b

  L(x) = 6/sin(x) +6/cos(x)

This distance will be shortest for the case where the derivative with respect to x is zero.

  L'(x) = 6(-cos(x)/sin(x)² +sin(x)/cos(x)²) = 6(sin(x)³ -cos(x)³)/(sin(x)²cos(x²))

This will be zero when the numerator is zero:

  0 = 6(sin(x) -cos(x))(1 -sin(x)cos(x))

The last factor is always positive, so the solution here is ...

  sin(x) = cos(x)   ⇒   x = π/4

And the length of the shortest ladder is ...

  L(π/4) = 6√2 + 6√2

  L(π/4) = 12√2 . . . . feet

_____

The ladder length for the "trial" angle of 0.82 radians was ...

  8.206 +8.795 = 17.001 . . . ft

The actual shortest ladder is ...

  12√2 = 16.971 . . . feet
