Statistics Paper 6 Question

1. The volume of milk in millilitres in cartons is normally distributed with mean (u) and standard deviation 8. Measurements were taken of the volume in 900 of these cartons and it was found that 225 of them contained more than 1002 millilitres.
(i) Calculate the value of (u)

Can anybody tell me how they found the value of z ?

P(x>1002)=225/900
P(x>1002)=0.25
P(z>1002-u/8)=inversePhi(0.25)
P(z>1002-u/8)=-inversePhi(0.75)
P(z<-(1002-u/8))=-inversePhi(0.75)
-(1002-u)/8=-0.674
1002-u/8=0.674
1002-u=5.392
u=996.6 Answer

∫ 2/ u(4-u)
by partial fractions
A/ u + B/ 4-u
((((A(4-u) +B(u)))) / u(4-u)
4A -Au +Bu
compare with 2/ u(4-u)
the denominator eliminates... and we have two equations
a-b=0 since there is no term in u---i
4A =2 the term without variable
A= 1/2
b=1/2
then 1/2(u) + 1/2(4-u) for the limits 2 and 1
1/2 ln u + 1/2 ln (4-u)
1/2 ln ( u +(4-u)(-1)) note that the -1 is the differential of 4-u
minus means to divide in log
so 1/2 ln ( u/ (4-u))
out limits 2 and 1
1/2 ln (2/4-2) -1/2 ln (1/4-1)
1/2ln 1 - 1/2 ln 1/3 note that ln 1=0
0 -1/2 ln 1/3
-1/2 ln (3^-1) by log propery the power would come down
-(-1/2 ) ln 3
1/2 ln 3
:) sorry abt the complex numbers ive completely forgotten em ... dun frgt to pray fr me

like i dint do 75 percent of the explaining i did here... i mean no alphabets except for variables... plus here two t0pics are involved one is integration and other is partial fractions
