Each year, a large warehouse uses thousands of fluorescent light bulbs that burn 24 hours per day until they burn out and are replaced. The lifetime of the bulbs is a normally distributed random variable with mean equal to 600 hours and standard deviation of 12 hours. The supplier of the light bulbs and the manager agree that any bulb whose lifetime is among the lowest 1% of all possible lifetimes will be replaced at no charge. What is the maximum lifetime a bulb can have (hrs) and still be among the lowest 1% of all lifetimes

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum lifetime a bulb can have and still be among the lowest 1% of all lifetimes is 572 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

The lifetime of the bulbs is a normally distributed random variable with mean equal to 600 hours and standard deviation of 12 hours.

This means that [tex]\mu = 600, \sigma = 12[/tex]

What is the maximum lifetime a bulb can have (hrs) and still be among the lowest 1% of all lifetimes?

This is the 1st percentile of lifetimes, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.01, that is, X when Z = -2.327.

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

[tex]-2.327 = \frac{X - 600}{12}[/tex]

[tex]X - 600 = -2.327*12[/tex]

[tex]X = 572[/tex]

The maximum lifetime a bulb can have and still be among the lowest 1% of all lifetimes is 572 hours.

Answer:

y=2x+6

Step-by-step explanation: y=mx+b

substitute in known values y=2x+b gradient is 2 (given)

substitute in coordinate values (1,8) 8=2(1)+b

solve for B    8=2+b

                     -2   -2

                      6=b

therefore the answer is y=2x+6

Suppose a call center receives 4000 calls on average during their Friday evening shift. Next Friday several people have put in for time off, so the center will be staffed by 178 call center employees. When working continuously, the average call center employee can handle 22 calls per evening shift (with a standard deviation of 5 calls). Assuming the center receives its expected 4000 calls next Friday, what is the probability that the center will have enough employees to handle this call volume

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the center will have enough employees to handle this call volume is 0.2764

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

Here the total mean expected number of outcomes=u = 4000

The favorable  expected outcomes are = x= 22* 178= 3916

The  standard deviation= σ= 5

The random variable X =178 has normal distribution with mean 4000/22 and standard deviation 5

So z= x-u/σ

Z= (3916-4000)/22/5

z= -0.764

From the table of areas under normal curve

P (  x= 3916)=  P( -0.764 ≤ Z≤ 0)

P (  x= 3916)=  0.2764

The probability that the center will have enough employees to handle this call volume is 0.2764

Kevin and Doreen each made a fruit salad. The amounts of ingredients they have are shown. Kevin used all of the​ strawberries, blueberries, and melon to make his fruit salad. Doreen made 2 cups of fruit salad containing all of the​ bananas, peaches and apples. How much fruit salad did Kevin​ make? How much more fruit salad did Doreen make than​ Kevin?

Answers

Answer:

The first thing you should do for this case is to graph the data you have in the statement to see the relationship between grapes and blueberries.

The function represented by the table is

y = 0.25x

Then, as Mandie is making 15 glasses of fruit salad, we have:

y + x = 15

We have two equations and two unknowns that we must solve.

y = 0.25x

y + x = 15

Resolving

For x:

0.25x + x = 15

1.25x = 15

x = 15 / 1.25 = 12

For y:

y = 0.25x = 0.25 (12) = 3

Answer

The ratio of grapes to blueberries she should use is 12: 3

A. $32.500
B. $28,550
C. $29.500
D. $30,570​

Answers

Answer: $29500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information from the question, the net income will be calculated as:

Net sales = Gross profit - sales returns and allowances

= $50000 - $6,000

= $44000

Gross profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold

= $44000 - $10000

= $34000

Net income = Gross profit - Operating expense

= $34000 - $4500

= $29500

Because it is X by Y (Usually) AKA bottom row to side row so, it is in the middle of 3 and 4 so it would be 3 1/2!

Answer:

( 3, 3.5) or 3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The cordinate is ( 3, 3.5) but if it has a fraction form like your question had all you want to do is convert 3.5 into a fraction. 3.5 into a fraction is 3 1/2 the 0.5 becomes 1/2 and the 3 is a 3. So the answer is 3 1/2 or ( 3, 3.5).

Answer:

Interest earned = $32.835

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Principal = $275

Number of times = 0.5

Interest rate = 2.9% = 0.029

Time = 4 years

To find the interest earned, we would use the compound interest formula;

[tex] A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Where;

A is the future value.

P is the principal or starting amount.

r is annual interest rate.

n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year.

t is the number of years for the compound interest.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] A = 275(1 + \frac{0.029}{0.5})^{0.5*4}[/tex]

[tex] A = 275(1 + 0.058)^{2}[/tex]

[tex] A = 275(1.058)^{2}[/tex]

[tex] A = 275(1.1194)[/tex]

A = $307.835

Interest earned = 307.835 - 275

Interest earned = $32.835

What is the volume of a cylinder with a

diameter of 5.2 m, to the nearest tenth of a
cubic meter?

392.9 m^3 is the real answer

Answers

Answer:

Yes it is is 392.9 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cylinder is π*r^2*h, π times radius squared times height.

Since the diameter is 5.2, the radius is 2.6 (half of it). 2.6^2 = 6.76, and the height is 18.5, 6.76*18.5 = 125.06. Multiply it by pi to get 392.887577258, round it to 392.9, The volume is 392.9 cubic meters.
