The lengths of nails produced in a factory are normally distributed with a mean of 6.13 centimeters and a standard deviation of 0.06 centimeters. Find the two lengths that separate the top 7% and the bottom 7%. These lengths could serve as limits used to identify which nails should be rejected.

A value of 6.0415 centimeters separates the bottom 7%, while a value of 6.2185 centimeters separates the top 7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

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

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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.

Mean of 6.13 centimeters and a standard deviation of 0.06 centimeters.

This means that

Value that separated the top 7%:

The 100 - 7 = 93rd percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.93, so X when Z = 1.475.

Value that separates the bottom 7%:

The 7th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.07, so X when Z = -1.475.

A value of 6.0415 centimeters separates the bottom 7%, while a value of 6.2185 centimeters separates the top 7%.

f(x) is going down by 4

step-by-step explanation:

(its either that or its going left by 4)

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
