I was wondering if someone could check my work thanks so the question is like so:
Standard deviation: 0.01cm
Mean = 10cm
T = 2pi [sqrt] L/g
Time increases by: 1/ 24x 60
……
P(x > 10.014)
= p (z > (10.014 - 10 / 0.01)
= P (Z > 1.4)
Z = 0.919243
Is this correct? Or should I subtract one from thz?
Thank you! :wink:
My work so far:The time it takes for a pendulum to complete the one period is simplified by the formula:
T = 2 pi square root (L/g)
...where g is the constant measuring 9.80655m/s^2 and L is the length of the pendulum.
The length of the pendulums from a manufacture are normally distributed with a mean of 10cm and a standard deviation of 0.01 cm. Assuming the at a 10cm pendulum gives the correct time, what is the probability that a clock using one of theses pendulums will lose more than 1 minute a day?
