A synthetic fiber used in manufacturing carpet has a tensile strength that is normally distributed with a mean 75.5 psi and standard deviation 3.5 psi. Find the probability that a random sample of n = 6 fiber specimens will have a sample tensile strength that exceeds 75.75 psi.

43.25% probability that a random sample of n = 6 fiber specimens will have a sample tensile strength that exceeds 75.75 psi.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using 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.

Central Limit Theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean and standard deviation , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation

In this problem, we have that:

Find the probability that a random sample of n = 6 fiber specimens will have a sample tensile strength that exceeds 75.75 psi.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 75.75. So

has a pvalue of 0.5675.

1 - 0.5675 = 0.4325

43.25% probability that a random sample of n = 6 fiber specimens will have a sample tensile strength that exceeds 75.75 psi.

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
