The lengths of nails produced in a factory are normally distributed with a mean of 5.02 centimeters and a standard deviation of 0.05 centimeters. Find the two lengths that separate the top 6% and the bottom 6%. These lengths could serve as limits used to identify which nails should be rejected. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

The length that separates the top 6% is 5.1 centimeters.

The length that separates the bottom 6% is 4.94 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

Find the two lengths that separate the top 6% and the bottom 6%.

Top 6%:

The 100-6 = 94th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.94. So X when Z = 1.555.

So the length that separates the top 6% is 5.1 centimeters.

Bottom 6%:

The 6th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.06. So X when Z = -1.555.

The length that separates the bottom 6% is 4.94 centimeters.

the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996

step-by-step explanation:

in synthetic division, use -6 as the divisor and use the coefficients {4, -3, 5, 6}:

-6     )   4     -3     5     6

                -24   162 -1002

          4   -27   167   -996

thus, the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996.

note:   your "4x°-3x+5x+6" is ambiguous / incomplete.   i had to assume that you meant '4x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x + 6."
