. A shipyard makes a container ship that can withstand the total amount of weight W, which is normally distributed with mean of 600 tons and standard deviation of 60 tons. Let us assume that the weight of a single container that will be loaded to the container ship is also normally distributed with mean of 4 tons and standard deviation of 0.4 tons. What is the maximum number of containers that the ship can load and still have at least a 90% chance to not exceed its weight limit

Answer:

the maximum number of containers that the ship can load is 170

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

W ~ N( 600, 60 )

S ~ N( 4n, 0.4√n )

so

p( W > S ) = 0.90

⇒ P( W - S > 0) = 0.9 ------ let this be equation 1

now, since W and S are independent

Mean( W - S ) = Mean( W ) - Mean( S 0 = 600 - 4n

and

SD( W - S ) = √( var(W) + var(S) ) = √( 60² + 0.4²n)

hence;

W - S ~ N( 600 - 4n, √( 60² + 0.4²n) )

now, from equation one, P( W - S > 0) = 0.9

[tex]P( \frac{(W-S)-Mean(W-S)}{SD(W-S)} > \frac{0-(600-4n)}{\sqrt{60^2 + 0.4^2n} }) = 0.90[/tex]

[tex]P( z > \frac{0-(600-4n)}{\sqrt{60^2 + 0.4^2n} }) = 0.90[/tex]

from z- table

[tex]P( z > \frac{0-(600-4n)}{\sqrt{60^2 + 0.4^2n} }) = P( z >-1.282)[/tex]  

[tex]\frac{4n - 600}{\sqrt{60^2 + 0.4^2n} } = -1.282[/tex] ------------------ let this be equation 2

now, we square both sides of equation 2

[tex]\frac{(4n - 600)^2}{60^2 + 0.4^2n} } = (-1.282)^2[/tex]  

[tex]\frac{(4n - 600)(4n-600)}{3600 + 0.16n} } = 1.643524[/tex]

we cross multiply

16n² + 360000 - 4800n = 1.643524( 3600 + 0.16n )

16n² + 360000 - 4800n = 5916.6864 + 0.26296384n

16n² + 360000 - 5916.6864 - 4800n - 0.26296384n = 0

16n² + 354083.3136 - 4800.26296384n = 0    

16n² - 4800.26296384n + 354083.3136 = 0  

solving the quadratic equation, we know that;

x = -b±√( b² - 4ac ) / 2a

so we substitute

x = [-(-4800.26296384) ±√( (-4800.26296384)² - (4 × 16 × 354083.3136)] / [2×16]

x = [ 4800.26296384 ±√( 23042524.522 - 22661332.0704 ] / 32

x = [ 4800.26296384 ±√(381192.4516) ] / 32

x = [ 4800.26296384 ± 617.4078 ] / 32

Hence;

x = [ 4800.26296384 - 617.4078 ] / 32 or  [ 4800.26296384 + 617.4078 ] / 32

x = 131   or  170

Therefore, the maximum number of containers that the ship can load is 170

In a manufacturing process, the assembly line speed (feet per minute) is believed to affect the number of defective parts found during the inspection process. Data (File 3) are collected on the number of defective parts for a variety of line speeds. Develop a linear regression equation that can be used to predict the number of defective parts given the line speed.

Line Speed Number of Defective Parts Found
20 21
20 19
40 15
30 16
60 14
40 17

Required:
a. Develop a scatter chart with line speed as the independent variable. What does the chart indicate about the relationship between line speed and the number of defective parts found?
b. Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the number of defective parts found, given the line speed. What is the estimated regression model?
c. Test whether each of the regression parameters βo and β1 is equal to zero at 0.01 level of significance. What are the correct interpretations of the estimated regression parameters?
d. How much of the variation in the number of defective parts found for the sample data does the model you estimated in part (b) explain?

Blackcap birds (Sylvia atricapilla) migrate out of Germany before wintertime. Prior to the 1960s, all members of a particular blackcap population flew to Spain, which had an abundant natural food source. Now, some members of the same blackcap population fly to the United Kingdom, where food placed in feeders by humans is abundant. The blackcaps return to the same forests in Germany to nest during the breeding season.
Some blackcaps that migrate to the United Kingdom have become distinguishable by certain physical and behavioral traits from blackcaps that migrate to Spain. Which of the following best predicts the effect on the blackcap population if humans in the United Kingdom continue to place food in feeders during the winter?
A- The blackcaps that migrate to Spain will selectively mate with the blackcaps that migrate to the United Kingdom, resulting in increased genetic variation in the blackcap population.
B- The blackcaps that migrate to the United Kingdom will become reproductively isolated from the blackcaps that migrate to Spain, resulting in speciation in the blackcap population.
C- The blackcaps in Spain and the United Kingdom will migrate to other geographical locations in search of potential mating partners, resulting in a smaller blackcap population in Germany.
D- The blackcaps will begin nesting at their wintering sites in Spain or the United Kingdom, resulting in a larger blackcap population migrating back to Germany after the breeding season has ended.
