The average breaking strength of a certain brand of steel cable is 2000 pounds, with a standard deviation of 100 pounds. A sample of 20 cables is selected and tested. Find the sample mean that will cut off the upper 95% of all samples of size 20 taken from the population. Assume the variable is normally distributed.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sample mean that will cut off the upper 95% of all samples of size 20 taken from the population is of 1963.2 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The average breaking strength of a certain brand of steel cable is 2000 pounds, with a standard deviation of 100 pounds.

This means that [tex]\mu = 2000, \sigma = 100[/tex]

A sample of 20 cables is selected and tested.

This means that [tex]n = 20, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{20}} = 22.361[/tex]

Find the sample mean that will cut off the upper 95% of all samples of size 20 taken from the population.

This is the 100 - 95 = 5th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.05, so X when Z = -1.645. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]-1.645 = \frac{X - 2000}{22.361}[/tex]

[tex]X - 2000 = -1.645*22.361[/tex]

[tex]X = 1963.2[/tex]

The sample mean that will cut off the upper 95% of all samples of size 20 taken from the population is of 1963.2 pounds.

Rose walks 2 2/3 km in three-fifths of an hour. If her speed remains unchanged, how many kilometres can she walk in one and three quarters of an hour? Express your answer as a mixed number in lowest terms

Answers

Answer:

Distance = 7 7/9 Km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 2⅔ = 8/3 Km

Time = ⅗ hour

First of all, we would find her speed;

Speed = distance/time

Speed = (8/3)/(3/5)

Speed = 8/3 * 5/3

Speed = 40/9 km/h

Next, we would find the distance covered when time = 1¾ hours

Distance = speed * time

Distance = 40/9 * 1¾

Distance = 40/9 * 7/4

Distance = 10/9 * 7

Distance = 70/9

Distance = 7 7/9 Km

A parallelogram is made up of a rectangle with a base of 12 centimeters (cm) and a height of 5 cm, and two triangles, each with a base of 2 cm and height of 5 cm. Jeremy calculates the area of the parallelogram by multiplying the base and height of the rectangle to get 60 cm2.
Is Jeremy's answer correct? Why or why not?

Select the option that correctly answers both questions.

No, he forgot to multiply by 12 when calculating the area of the rectangle.

Yes, he correctly calculated the area of the parallelogram as b⋅h.

No, he forgot to add the area of the triangles to the area of the rectangle.

Yes, he correctly calculated the area of the parallelogram as 12bh.

Answers

No, he forgot to add the area of the triangles to the area of the rectangle.

It is said that Jeremy thought he solved for the area of the whole parallelogram correctly by multiplying the base and height of the rectangle, which is just a part of the whole parallelogram.

Jeremy’s answer is incomplete, he only calculated the area of the triangle as the answer.

This is because one way of finding an area of a parallelogram is dividing the shape into a rectangle with a triangle on each side.

The real area of the parallelogram is 70 cm^2
(with areas of each triangles added)

With that being said, the formula of a parallelogram that is said is:
A = bh
Which means a height perpendicular to the base of the whole paralleogram.

The value of the expression Becca should get after simplification is 6.

Given is an expression 45 - (8 × 3 + 15), Becca is trying to solve the same,

To evaluate the expression 45 - (8 × 3 + 15), Becca should follow the order of operations, which is often remembered using the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction):

First, calculate the value inside the parentheses: 8 × 3 + 15

= 24 + 15

= 39.

Now, substitute this value back into the original expression: 45 - 39.

Finally, perform the subtraction: 45 - 39 = 6.

So, the value of the expression is 6.

[tex]\frac{6}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{3y-2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

6(3y - 2) = 28

18y - 12 = 28 ( add 12 to both sides )

18y = 40 ( divide both sides by 18 )

y = [tex]\frac{40}{18}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{20}{9}[/tex]

Answer:

20/9

Step-by-step explanation:

since the 2 are similar,

JH/PQ = FM/ST

6/4 = 7/(3y-2)

6(3y-2) = 7*4

18y-12=28

18y = 40

y = 40/18 = 20/9 = 2 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Area of square = 40

Mathematically, the area of a square is calculated by using the formula;

Area, A = s²

Where;

s is the length of sides of a square.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Fiona invested $1000 at 7% compounded continuously. At the same time, Maria invested $1100 at 7% compounded daily. How long will it take for their investments to be equal in value? Assume there are 365 days in every year.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  14,201 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The two compound interest formulas are ...

  A = P·e^(rt) . . . . . continuous compounding at rate r for t years

  A = P·(1 +r/365)^(365t) . . . . . daily compounding at rate r for t years

We went the amounts to be equal:

  1000·e^(0.07t) = 1100·(1+0.07/365)^(365t)

Dividing by 1000(1 +0.07/365)^(365t), we have ...

  ((e^0.07)/(1+0.07/365)^365)^t = 1.1

The base of the exponential on the left is ...

 ( e^0.07)/(1+0.07/365)^365 ≈ 1.00000671149321522

Taking logs, we have ...

  t×ln(1.00000671149321522) = ln(1.1)

  t = ln(1.1)/ln(1.00000671149321522) ≈ 0.09531018/(6.7114704·10^-6)

  t ≈ 14,201.09 . . . . . years

It will take about 14,201 years for the investments to be equal.

Additional comment

The investment value at that time will be about $5.269·10^434. (That's a larger number than anything countable in the known universe, including energy quanta.)

These calculations are beyond the ability of many calculators, so might need to be carefully rewritten if the calculator only keeps 10 significant digits, or only manages exponents less than 100.

This shows that daily compounding is very close in effect to continuous compounding. It would take almost 150 years to make a difference of 0.1% in value.
