An automatic machine in a manufacturing process is operating properly if the lengths of an important subcomponent are normally distributed with a mean of 115 cm and a standard deviation of 4.7 cm. A. Find the probability that one selected subcomponent is longer than 117 cm. Probability = B. Find the probability that if 4 subcomponents are randomly selected, their mean length exceeds 117 cm. Probability = C. Find the probability that if 4 are randomly selected, all 4 have lengths that exceed 117 cm.

a) $P(X117)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\frac{117-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z\frac{117-115}{4.7})=P(z0.426)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and we got:

P(z0.426)=1-P(z

b) $P(\bar X 117)=P(Z\frac{117-115}{\frac{4.7}{\sqrt{4}}}=0.851)$

And using the complement rule and a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we have that:

P(Z0.851)= 1-P(Z

c) $X \sim Bin (n=4, p =0.335)$

And the reason is because we assume independence between the events and each individual event have the same probability of success 0.197.

And we want this probability:

P(X=4)

We can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=4) = (4C4) (0.335)^4 (1-0.335)^{4-4}= 0.0126$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the lengths of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(115,4.7)$

Where $\mu=115$ and $\sigma=4.7$

We are interested on this probability

P(X117)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(X117)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\frac{117-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z\frac{117-115}{4.7})=P(z0.426)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and we got:

P(z0.426)=1-P(z

Part b

For this case we select a sample size of n=4, since the distribution of X is normal then the distribution for $\bar X$ is also normal and given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu=115, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{4.7}{\sqrt{4}}=2.35)$

We can find the individual probabilities like this:

$P(\bar X 117)=P(Z\frac{117-115}{\frac{4.7}{\sqrt{4}}}=0.851)$

And using the complement rule and a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we have that:

P(Z0.851)= 1-P(Z

Part c

For this case we can use a binomial distribution given by:

$X \sim Bin (n=4, p =0.335)$

And the reason is because we assume independence between the events and each individual event have the same probability of success 0.197.

And we want this probability:

P(X=4)

We can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=4) = (4C4) (0.335)^4 (1-0.335)^{4-4}= 0.0126$

Name and describe the three most important measures of central tendency. choose the correct answer below. a. the mean, sample size, and mode are the most important measures of central tendency. the mean of a data set is the sum of the observations divided by the middle value in its ordered list. the sample size of a data set is the number of observations. the mode of a data set is its highest value in its ordered list. b. the sample size, median, and mode are the most important measures of central tendency. the sample size of a data set is the difference between the highest value and lowest value in its ordered list. the median of a data set is its most frequently occurring value. the mode of a data set is sum of the observations divided by the number of observations. c. the mean, median, and mode are the most important measures of central tendency. the mean of a data set is the product of the observations divided by the number of observations. the median of a data set is the lowest value in its ordered list. the mode of a data set is its least frequently occurring value. d. the mean, median, and mode are the most important measures of central tendency. the mean of a data set is its arithmetic average. the median of a data set is the middle value in its ordered list. the mode of a data set is its most frequently occurring value.
