An elevator has a placard stating that the maximum capacity is 1580 lb-10 passengers.​ So, 10 adult male passengers can have a mean weight of up to 1580/10 = 158 pounds. If the elevator is loaded with 10 adult male​ passengers, find the probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 158 lb.​ (Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 160 lb and a standard deviation of ​35 lb.) Does this elevator appear to be​ safe?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.5714 = 57.14% probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 158 lb

b) No, because the probability of being overloaded is considerably high(57.14%). Ideally, it should be under 5%, which would be considered an unusual event.

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 zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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.

Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 160 lb and a standard deviation of ​35 lb.

This means that [tex]\mu = 160, \sigma = 35[/tex]

Sample of 10:

This means that [tex]n = 10, s = \frac{35}{\sqrt{10}} = 11.07[/tex]

a) Find the probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 158 lb.​

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 158. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{158 - 160}{11.07}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.18[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.18[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.4286

1 - 0.4286 = 0.5714

0.5714 = 57.14% probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 158 lb.

b.) Does this elevator appear to be​ safe?

No, because the probability of being overloaded is considerably high(57.14%). Ideally, it should be under 5%, which would be considered an unusual event.

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a triangular prism = Area of the triangular sides + Area of the rectangular sides

Area of the triangular sides = 2(Area of the triangular base)

                                              = [tex]2[\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})][/tex]

                                              = 10 × 12

                                              = 120 ft²

Area of the rectangular sides = (Perimeter of the triangular side)(Height of the prism)    

= (10 + 13 + 13)(15)

= 36 × 15

= 540 ft²

Surface area of the prism = 120 + 540

Answer:

  ∠Q = 89°

  ∠R = 123°

  ∠S = 91°

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems easiest to start by finding the measures of each of the arcs. The measure of an arc is double the measure of the inscribed angle it subtends.

  arc QRS = 2·∠P = 114°

So, ...

  arc QR = arc QRS - arc RS = 114° -41° = 73°

The total of the arcs around the circle is 360°, so ...

  arc PQ = 360° -arc PS -arc QRS

  arc PQ = 360° -137° -114° = 109°

__

  ∠Q = (1/2)(arc RS + arc PS) = (1/2)(41° +137°)

  ∠Q = 89°

__

  ∠R = (1/2)(arc PS +arc PQ) = (1/2)(137° +109°)

  ∠R = 123°

__

  ∠S = (1/2)(arc PQ +arc QR) = (1/2)(109° +73°)

  ∠S = 91°

Answers

Answer:

[tex]a_n=-10n+150[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is consider a linear pattern (arithmetic pattern).

We know this because it is either going up or down by the same number each time. It's going down by 10 in this case.

So -10 is the slope of this linear pattern.

The equation for a linear pattern is:

y=mx+b

where x represents the position the term is in

and

where y represents the actual term

and

where m is the slope

So we have y=-10x+b.

(x,y)

(term position in sequence, actual term)

(1,140)

(2,130)

(3,120)

(4,110)

We can find b by using a number with it's position in the sequence (that is plug in one of your points above).

y=-10x+b

140=-10(1)+b

140=-10+b

150=b (after adding 10 on both sides)

The explicit equation for the sequence is y=-10x+150.

They probably prefer you to write: [tex]a_n=-10n+150[/tex] instead.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know it's greater then so we just need to find the line. Let's look at the Slope, since 0,2 is greater than -6,4 we start there. The y of 0,2 is 2 so we subtract 4 from 2 which is -2 and now we subtract -6 from 0 which is 6 so now we have -2/6 and the intercept is 2 so we now have y=mx+b which is the line in black: y=-2/6+2. But it is greater than so its y>-2/6+2

Read the passage.A Flag with 50 StarsThe first American flag to have red and white stripes and white stars on a blue field was flown in 1776, shortly after the United States declared its independence from Great Britain. Legend has it that a Philadelphia seamstress named Betsy Ross was hired by George Washington himself to create this flag. There is no evidence that this legend is true, and no one knows for certain who made the first flag, which had 13 stars and 13 stripes. However, we know for a fact that the first flag to have 50 starsthe one we have todaywas designed by a high school student. In 1958, Bob Heft was a 17-year-old student at Lancaster High School in Ohio. At that time, the United States had only 48 states but was on the verge of accepting two more: Alaska and Hawaii. The U.S. flag at the time had six neat rows of eight stars each. What would be the best way to add two more stars while keeping the arrangement neat and orderly? This was the question that Bobs history teacher posed to the class. The teacher gave the students an assignment: design a flag with 50 stars. Bob spent hours in the attic of his house, cutting up a 48-star flag and rearranging the stars until they fit just right. He was pleased with his solution to the problem, but his teacher found it less than perfect and gave him a B minus. Outraged, Bob told his teacher that he was going to send his design to his member of Congress, Walter Moeller. His teacher replied that if Bobs design was accepted as the new flag, he would be more than happy to change the grade to an A. A year later, Bob had graduated and was working as a draftsman when he received a call at work. He never would have imagined a call from President Eisenhowerbut that's who it was! Now that Alaska and Hawaii had been admitted as states, Congressman Moeller had succeeded in having Bob's design chosen as the new U.S. flag. Bob Heft was invited to Washington, D.C., for a ceremony during which his design was officially adopted as the new flag of the United States.Read the excerpt from A Flag with 50 Stars. Now that Alaska and Hawaii had been admitted as states, Congressman Moeller had succeeded in having Bob's design chosen as the new U.S. flag.How do these sentences contribute to the text?They develop the idea that Bob's design is exceptional, despite what his teacher thought.They imply that the people of Alaska and Hawaii prefer Bob's design over other options.They develop the idea that, without Congressman Moeller, there would not be a new U.S flag.They show it takes several years for the U.S. government to approve a new flag design.
