The width of a casing for a door is normally distributed with a mean of 24 inches and a standard deviation of 1/8 inch. The width of a door is normally distributed with a mean of 23 7/8 inches and a standard deviation of 1/16 inch. Assume independence. a. Determine the mean and standard deviation of the difference between the width of the casing and the width of the door. b. What is the probability that the width of the casing minus the width of the door exceeds 1/4 inch? c. What is the probability that the door does not fit in the casing?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Mean = 0.125 inch

Standard deviation = 0.13975 inch

b) Probability that the width of the casing minus the width of the door exceeds 1/4 inch = P(X > 0.25) = 0.18673

c) Probability that the door does not fit in the casing = P(X < 0) = 0.18673

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distribution of the width of the casing be X₁ (μ₁, σ₁²)

Let the distribution of the width of the door be X₂ (μ₂, σ₂²)

The distribution of the difference between the width of the casing and the width of the door = X = X₁ - X₂

when two independent normal distributions are combined in any manner, the resulting distribution is also a normal distribution with

Mean = Σλᵢμᵢ

λᵢ = coefficient of each disteibution in the manner that they are combined

μᵢ = Mean of each distribution

Combined variance = σ² = Σλᵢ²σᵢ²

λ₁ = 1, λ₂ = -1

μ₁ = 24 inches

μ₂ = 23 7/8 inches = 23.875 inches

σ₁² = (1/8)² = (1/64) = 0.015625

σ₂ ² = (1/16)² = (1/256) = 0.00390625

Combined mean = μ = 24 - 23.875 = 0.125 inch

Combined variance = σ² = (1² × 0.015625) + [(-1)² × 0.00390625] = 0.01953125

Standard deviation = √(Variance) = √(0.01953125) = 0.1397542486 = 0.13975 inch

b) Probability that the width of the casing minus the width of the door exceeds 1/4 inch = P(X > 0.25)

This is a normal distribution problem

Mean = μ = 0.125 inch

Standard deviation = σ = 0.13975 inch

We first normalize/standardize 0.25 inch

The standardized score of any value is that value minus the mean divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - μ)/σ = (0.25 - 0.125)/0.13975 = 0.89

P(X > 0.25) = P(z > 0.89)

Checking the tables

P(x > 0.25) = P(z > 0.89) = 1 - P(z ≤ 0.89) = 1 - 0.81327 = 0.18673

c) Probability that the door does not fit in the casing

If X₂ > X₁, X < 0

P(X < 0)

We first normalize/standardize 0 inch

z = (x - μ)/σ = (0 - 0.125)/0.13975 = -0.89

P(X < 0) = P(z < -0.89)

Checking the tables

P(X < 0) = P(z < -0.89) = 0.18673

Hope this Helps!!!

Would this be correct even though I didn’t use the chain rule to solve?

Answers

Answer:

Dy/Dx=1/√ (2x+3)

Yeah it's correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying differential by chain differentiation method.

The differential of y = √(2x+3) with respect to x

y = √(2x+3)

Let y = √u

Y = u^½

U = 2x +3

The formula for chain differentiation is

Dy/Dx = Dy/Du *Du/Dx

So

Dy/Dx = Dy/Du *Du/Dx

Dy/Du= 1/2u^-½

Du/Dx = 2

Dy/Dx =( 1/2u^-½)2

Dy/Dx= u^-½

Dy/Dx=1/√ u

But u = 2x+3

Dy/Dx=1/√ (2x+3)

To determine whether each of these functions is [tex]O(x^2)[/tex], we apply these theorems:

A polynomial is always O(the term containing the highest power of n)Any O(x) function is always [tex]O(x^2)[/tex].

(a)Given the function: f(x)=100x+1000

The highest power of n is 1.

Therefore f(x) is O(x).

Since any O(x) function is always [tex]O(x^2)[/tex], 100x+1000 is [tex]O(x^2)[/tex].

[tex](b) f(x)=100x^ 2 + 1000[/tex]

Find the length and width of a rectangle that has the given perimeter and a maximum area. Perimeter: 116 meters

Answers

Answer:

Length = 29 m

Width = 29 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the length and width of the rectangle, respectively.

The area and perimeter are given by:

[tex]A=xy\\p=116=2x+2y\\y=58-x[/tex]

Rewriting the area as a function of x:

[tex]A(x) = x(58-x)\\A(x) = 58x-x^2[/tex]

The value of x for which the derivate of the area function is zero, is the length that maximizes the area:

[tex]A(x) = 58x-x^2\\\frac{dA}{dx}=0=58-2x\\ x=29\ m[/tex]

The value of y is:

[tex]y = 58-29\\y=29\ m[/tex]

Length = 29 m

Width = 29 m

At 95% confidence, how large a sample should be taken to obtain a margin of error of 0.05 for the estimation of a population proportion

Answers

Answer:

A sample of 385 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

How large a sample:

We need a sample of n.

n is found when M = 0.05.

We dont know the true proportion, so we work with the worst case scenario, which is [tex]\pi = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.05}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.05})^{2}[/tex]

[tex]n = 384.16[/tex]

Hi, can someone help me on this. I'm stuck --

Answers

Answer:

a) Fx=-5N  Fy=-5*sqrt(3) N   b) Fx= 5*sqrt(3) N    Fy=-5N

c) Fx=-5*sqrt(2) N    Fy=-5*sqrt(2)   N

Step-by-step explanation:

The arrow's F ( weight) component on axle x  is Fx= F*sinA  and on axle y is

Fy=F*cosA

a) The x component and y component both are opposite directed to axle x and axle y accordingly.  So both components are negative.

So Fx = - 10*sin(30)= -5 N      Fy= -10*cos(30)= -10*sqrt(3)/2= -5*sqrt (3) N

b) Now the x component  is co directed to axle x , and y component is opposite directed to axle y.

So x component is positive and y components is negative

So Fx = 10*sin(60)= 5*sqrt(3) N       Fy= -10*cos(60)= -10*1/2= -5 N

c)The x component and y component both are opposite directed to axle x and axle y accordingly.  So both components are negative.

So Fx = - 10*sin(45)= -5*sqrt(2)  N    

 Fy= -10*cos(45)= -10*sqrt(2)/2= -5*sqrt (2) N

By what percent will the fraction increase if its numerator is increased by 60% and denominator is decreased by 20% ?

Answers

Answer:

100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with x.

x = x/1

Increase the numerator by 60% to 1.6x.

Decrease the numerator by 20% to 0.8.

The new fraction is

1.6x/0.8

Do the division.

1.6x/0.8 = 2x

The fraction increased from x to 2x. It became double of what it was. From x to 2x, the increase is x. Since x was the original number x is 100%.

The increase is 100%.

Answer:

33%

Step-by-step explanation:

let fraction be x/y

numerator increased by 60%

=x+60%ofx

=8x

denominator increased by 20%

=y+20%of y

so the increased fraction is 4x/3y

let the fraction is increased by a%

then

x/y +a%of (x/y)=4x/3y

or, a%of(x/y)=x/3y

[tex]a\% = \frac{x}{3y} \times \frac{y}{x} [/tex]

therefore a=33

In the DBE 122 class, there are 350 possible points. These points come from 5 homework sets that are worth 10 points each and 3 exams that are worth 100 points each. A student has received homework scores of 7, 8, 7, 5, and 8 and the first two exam scores are 81 and 80. Assuming that grades are assigned according to the standard scale, where if the grade percentage is 0.9 or higher the student will get an A, and if the grade percentage is between 0.8 and 0.9 the student will get a B, and there are no weights assigned to any of the grades, is it possible for the student to receive an A in the class? What is the minimum score on the third exam that will give an A? What about a B?

Answers

Answer:

a) The student cannot receive an A in the class.

b) The student must score 119 in the third exams to make an A.  This is clearly not possible, since he cannot make 119 in a 100-points exam.

c) The student can make a B but he must score at least 84 in the third exam.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make an A, the student must score 315 (350 x 90%) in both home and the three exams.

The student who scored 35 (7 + 8 + 7 + 5 + 8) in the homework and 161 (81 + 80), getting a total of 196, is short by 119 (315 - 196) scores in making an A.

To make a B, the student must score 280 (350 x 80%) or higher but not reaching 315.

B ≥ 280 and < 315.

Since, the student had scored 196, he needs to score 84 and above to make a B in the last exam.
