At a fixed operating setting, the pressure in a line downstream of a reciprocating compressor has a mean value of 950 kPa with a standard deviation of 30 kPa based on a large dataset obtained from continuous monitoring. What is the probability that the line pressure will exceed 1000 kPa during any measurement

4.75% probability that the line pressure will exceed 1000 kPa during any measurement

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this problem, we have that:

What is the probability that the line pressure will exceed 1000 kPa during any measurement

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1000. So

has a pvalue of 0.9525

1 - 0.9525 = 0.0475

4.75% probability that the line pressure will exceed 1000 kPa during any measurement

“ a line segment that has the endpoints on the circle and passes through the midpoint is called the diameter. the diameter is twice the size of the radius. a line segment that has its endpoints on the circular border but does not pass through the midpoint is called a chord. a circle is the same as 360 small circle up the number 0 . i hope this .
