Answers

Answer 1

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

In a survey of women in a certain country ( ages 20-29), the mean height was 62.9 inches with a standard deviation of 2.81 inches.  Answer the following questions about the specified normal distribution.  (a) What height represents the 99th percentile?  (b) What height represents the first quartile?  (Round to two decimal places as needed)

Solution :

Let the random variable X represents the height of women in a country.

Given :

X is normal with mean, μ = [tex]62.9[/tex] inches and the standard deviation, σ = [tex]2.81[/tex] inches

Let,

[tex]$Z=\frac{X - 62.9}{2.81}$[/tex] , then Z is a standard normal

a). Let the [tex]99th[/tex] percentile is = a

The point a is such that,

[tex]$P(X<a)=0.99$[/tex]

[tex]$P \left( Z < \frac{a-62.9}{2.81} \right) = 0.99$[/tex]

From standard table, we get : [tex]P( Z < 2.3263) =0.99[/tex]

∴ [tex]$\frac{(a-62.9)}{281} = 2.3263$[/tex]

  [tex]$a= (2.3263 \times 2.81 ) +62.9$[/tex]

     = 6.536903 + 62.9

     = 69.436903

     = 69.5 (rounding off)

Therefore, the height represents the [tex]99th[/tex] percentile = 69.5 inches.

b). Let b = height represents the first quartile.

It is given by :

[tex]P( X < b) =0.25[/tex]

[tex]$P \left( Z < \frac{(b-62.9)}{2.81} \right) = 0.25$[/tex]

From the standard normal table,

[tex]P( Z < -0.6745) =0.99[/tex]

∴ [tex]$\frac{(b-62.9)}{2.81}= 0.6745$[/tex]

[tex]$b=(0.6745 \times 2.81) +62.9$[/tex]

  = 1.895345 + 62.9

   = 64.795345

   = 64.8 (rounding off)

Therefore, the height represents the 1st quartile is 64.8 inches.

Answer:

a = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

sin30° = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] , then

sin30° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{a}{15}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

2a = 15 ( divide both sides by 2 )

a = 7.5

martin is filling his bathtub, but he left the drain partially open. martin knows that it takes 8 minutes to fill his 40 gallon tub. the equation v = 2.5t represents the volume, v , of water that drains out of the tub in t minutes. if martin leaves the water on, will the tub ever overflow ?

please someone help ​​

Answers

Answer:

Yes, it will overflow after 16 minutes..

Step-by-step explanation:

The tub fills at a rate of 5 gallons every minute, but it drains at a rate of 2.5 gallons every minute. This means that it fills twice as fast as it drains, so it would take 16 minutes for the tub to overflow. If you subtract the rate of draining from the rate of filling then the net rate of water going up is 2.5 gallons a minute.

The sine of angle θ is 0.3.

What is cos(θ)? Explain how you know.

Answers

Answer:

cos(θ) = -0.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the relation:

sin(θ)^2 + cos(θ)^2 = 1

So if we have:

sin(θ) = 0.3

we can replace that in the above equation to get:

0.3^2 + cos(θ)^2 = 1

now we can solve this for cos(θ)

cos(θ)^2 = 1 - 0.3^2 = 0.91

cos(θ) = ±√0.91

cos(θ) = ± 0.95

Now, yo can see that there are two solutions, which one is the correct one?

Well, you can see that the endpoint of the segment that defines θ is on the second quadrant.

cos(x) is negative if the endpoint of the segment that defines the angle is on the second or third quadrant.

Then we can conclude that in this case, the correct solution is the negative one.

cos(θ) = -0.95

Rise over run. The x values is -3 and 9 which is the distance or run between the dots. Find the distance by finding which number is between then so -3+x=9 where x is 12. The y values are -7 and 1. Find y where -7+y=1 where y is 8. That is the rise. So the rise is 8 and that is over the run, 12, gives you 8/12 which can be simplified to 2/3.

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

1. To find the area of the shaded region, you'd find the area of the white rectangular shape, next, find the area of the whole triangular shape, then find the difference of their areas to get the area of the shaded region. Thus, the formula to use would be:

Area of shaded region = area of triangle - area of rectangle

Area of shaded region = ½*base*height - length*width

1. a. Volume of triangular prism = area of triangular base * height of prism

Volume of triangular prism = ½bh * H

Where,

b = 6 m

h = 4 m

H = 8 m

Substitute

Volume of prism = ½*6*4*8

Volume of prism = 96 m³

b. Volume of sphere = ⁴/3πr³

Where,

r = 9 cm

Substitute

Volume = ⁴/3*π*9³

Volume = ⁴/3*π*729

Volume ≈ 3,053.6 cm³ (nearest tenth)

2. Use Pythagorean theorem to find the height of the cone

radius of the cone (r) = ½(16) = 8 cm

Slant height (l) = 11 cm

height (h) = ?

Using Pythagorean theorem, we have:

h = √(l² - r²)

Substitute

h = √(11² - 8²)

h = √(57)

h ≈ 7.5 cm (nearest tenth)

b. Volume of the cone = ⅓πr²h

where,

r = 8 cm

h = 7.5 cm

Volume = ⅓*π*8²*7.5

Volume = 502.7 cm³ (nearest tenth)

The radius of a circle is 14cm. Find the radius of the circle whose area is double of the area of circle. ​

Answers

Answer:

14√2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of circle equation:

A = πr²

Let the radius of bigger circle is x.

We have:

π(14²)*2 = πx²

Solve for x:

x² = 2(14²)x = √2(14²)x = 14√2 cm

19.8cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First find area of small circle:

A = πr2

A = 22/7 x 14 x 14

A = 22 x 2 x 14

A = 616cm2

Area of bigger circle is double that of the small circle:

= 616 x 2

= 1,232 cm2

πR2 = A

22/7 x r2 = 1,232

r2 = (1,232 x 7) ÷ 22

r2 = 8624 ÷ 22

[tex] \sqrt{r ^{2} } = \sqrt{392} [/tex]

radius of bigger circle = 19.8cm

Min = -16; max = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

I plotted the inequalities for the constraints (see pic).

Sub in the coordinates of the vertices into the optimisation equation.

z = -(-4) + 5(-4) = -16

z = 0

z = -3 + 5(-1) = -8

Therefore, the max value of z is 0, and the min value is -16
