Ford and GM pick up trucks are being tested for fuel efficiency, which is commonly measured in miles per gallon (mpg). The fuel efficiency of Ford trucks is found to follow a normal distribution with mean 20 mpg and a standard deviation of 3 mpg. The fuel efficiency of GM trucks is found to follow a normal distribution with mean 24 mpg and standard deviation of 4 mpg. Compute the probability that a randomly chosen Ford truck outperforms a randomly chosen GM truck in terms of fuel efficiency

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.7881 = 78.81% probability that a randomly chosen Ford truck outperforms a randomly chosen GM truck in terms of fuel efficiency

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

Subtraction of normal variables:

When we subtract normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of the means, and the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

The fuel efficiency of Ford trucks is found to follow a normal distribution with mean 20 mpg and a standard deviation of 3 mpg.

This means that [tex]\mu_{F} = 20, \sigma_{F} = 3[/tex]

The fuel efficiency of GM trucks is found to follow a normal distribution with mean 24 mpg and standard deviation of 4 mpg.

This means that [tex]\mu_{G} = 24, \sigma_{G} = 4[/tex]

Compute the probability that a randomly chosen Ford truck outperforms a randomly chosen GM truck in terms of fuel efficiency

This is the probability that the subtraction of ford by gm is less than 0. First, we find the mean and the standard deviation.

[tex]\mu = \mu_{F} - \mu_{G} = 20 - 24 = -4[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma_{F}^2+\sigma_{G}^2} = \sqrt{3^2+4^2} = 5[/tex]

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 0. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0 - (-4)}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.8[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.8[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.7881

0.7881 = 78.81% probability that a randomly chosen Ford truck outperforms a randomly chosen GM truck in terms of fuel efficiency

1/3 of Cheryl’s savings was the same as 3/4 of Hilda’s savings.Cheryl saved $36.

(a) Find the ratio of Cheryl’s savings to Hilda’s savings.

(b) How much did Hilda save?

Answers

Answer:

a) the ratio is 9:4

b) Hilda did save $16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the variables:

C = Cheryl's savings.

H = Hilda's savings.

We know that:

(1/3)*C = (3/4)*H

We also know that Cheryl saved $36, then we have:

C = $36

Now we can replace that in the above equation to get:

(1/3)*$36 = (3/4)*H

$12 = (3/4)*H

$12*(4/3) = H = $16

Then Hilda did save $16.

And the ratio between of Cheryl's savings to Hilda's savings is:

36 : 16

We can simplify this if we divide both by 2.

(36/2) : 16/2

18 : 8

Again, we can divide both by 2:

(18/2) : (8/2)

9 : 4

Then the ratio is 9 : 4

Answer:

  (d)  x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The "vertex form" of the equation of a parabola is ...

  y = a(x -h)² +k

In this form, the vertex has coordinates (h, k).

Comparing the form to your equation, you see that h=3, k=4, so the vertex is (h, k) = (3, 4).

The line of symmetry is a vertical line through the vertex. It will have the same x-value as the x-coordinate of the vertex:

  x = 3

_____

In short, the equation of the line of symmetry has its constant equal to the opposite of the value added to x. Here, the added constant is -3, so the line of symmetry is x=3.

The values h and k in the vertex-form equation represent the amount of translation right and up from the parent function graph. When the graph is translated 3 units to the right, the line of symmetry moves from x=0 to x=3.

The function d = 16t2 models the distance d, in feet, that an object falls in t seconds. Find the inverse function and use the inverse function

o estimate the time it takes an object to fall 100 feet. (1 point)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]t = \frac{1}{4}\sqrt d[/tex]

Time to reach 100ft is 2.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]d = 16t^2[/tex]

Solving (a): Determine the inverse function

[tex]d = 16t^2[/tex]

Swap the positions of d and t

[tex]t = 16d^2[/tex]

Make d the subject

[tex]\frac{t}{16} = d^2[/tex]

Take positive square root of both sides

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{t}{16}} = d[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{\frac{t}{16}}[/tex]

[tex]d = \frac{1}{4}\sqrt t[/tex]

Swap the positions of d and t

[tex]t = \frac{1}{4}\sqrt d[/tex] --- The inverse function

Solving (b): Find t when d =100

Substitute 100 for d in [tex]t = \frac{1}{4}\sqrt d[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{1}{4}\sqrt {100[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{1}{4}* 10[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{1* 10}{4}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{10}{4}[/tex]

[tex]t = 2.5[/tex]

Y is directly proportional to x squared if y=20 when x=2 find y when x= 5

Answers

Answer:

y = 125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

y is directly proportional to x² i.e.

[tex]y=kx^2[/tex]

k is a constant of proportionality

Put y = 20 and x = 2 in the given equation to find k.

[tex]k=\dfrac{y}{x^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{20}{(2)^2}\\\\k=5[/tex]

Now put k = 5 and x = 5 in the given equation to find y.

[tex]y=5\times (5)^2\\\\y=125[/tex]

So, the value of y is equal to 125.
