A certain brand of automobile tire has a mean life span of 35,000 miles, with a standard deviation of 2250 miles. Assume the life spans of the tires have a bell-shaped distribution. (a) The life spans of three randomly selected tires are 34,000 miles, 37,000 miles, and 30,000 miles. Find the z-score that corresponds to each life span. Determine whether any of these life spans are unusual.
(b) The life spans of three randomly selected tires are 30,500 miles, 37,250 miles, and 35,000 miles. Using the Empirical Rule, find the percentile that corresponds to each life span.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

mean life span of a brand of automobile = 35,000

standard deviation of a brand of automobile = 2250 miles.

the z-score that corresponds to each life span are as follows.

the standard z- score formula is:

For x = 34000

z = −0.4444

For x = 37000

z = 0.8889

For x = 3000

z = -2.222

From the above z- score that corresponds to their life span; it is glaring  that the tire with the life span 30,000 miles has an unusually short life span.

For x = 30,500

z = -2

P(z) = P(-2)

Using excel function (=NORMDIST -2)

P(z) = 0.022750132

P(z) = 2.28th percentile

For x =  37250

z = 1

Using excel function (=NORMDIST 1)

P(z) = 0.841344746

P(z) = 84.14th percentile

For x = 35000

z = 0

Using excel function (=NORMDIST 0)

P(z) = 0.5

P(z) = 50th percentile

2 x^2 -3x+p

sum of roots = 3/2

let other root be x

3+ x = 3/2

x= 3/2 - 3 = -3/2

product of roots = p/2

3× -3/2 = p/2

-9 = p

⭐⭐

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
