A fabric company sells rolls of fabric. Their top selling fabric roll is cut to a length of 12 feet and rolled up for the customer. The actual lengths of the fabric on each roll is normally distributed with a mean of 11.97 ft and a variance of 0.09 ft2.

  1. What proportion of these fabric rolls are longer than 12.02 feet?
  2. What proportion of these fabric rolls are between 12.00 feet and 12.10 feet?

Solutions

Expert Solution

X : The actual lengths of the fabric on each roll

X ~ N(11.97 , 0.09) = N(11.97 , 0.32)

a).the proportion of these fabric rolls are longer than 12.02 feet is:-

[ in any blank cell of excel type =NORMSDIST(0.1667)]

b).the proportion of these fabric rolls are between 12.00 feet and 12.10 feet is:-

[ in any blank cell of excel type =NORMSDIST(0.4333)

  in any blank cell of excel type =NORMSDIST(0.1)]

Cotopaxi makes backpacks. Traditionally, they bought fabric in quantity, and cut out the forms for their backpacks from large pieces, discarding the interstitial material as scrap. Due to the integrated nature of the production facility, the cost of all this fabric was considered a joint cost, allocated by the approximate relative sales value method, and the scraps were considered a waste by-product.

A ball rolls down from the top of an incline with a height of 5 m high without slipping. The ball has a diameter of 0.2m. What are the ball’s translational speeds a) at the center of the ball, b) at the contact point on the ground, and c) at the top of the ball when it arrives at the bottom? What values of "c" do you expect for hollow/solid balls? Will the hollow ball be faster?
