A 7ft board is to be cut into three pieces, two equal length ones and the third 6 inches shorter than each of the other two. If the cutting does not result in any length being lost, how long are the pieces?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The two boards of equal length are 30 inches long, and the third board is 24 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the length of the board to inches. There are 12 inches in a foot, so multiply 7 by 12:

7(12)

= 84

Let x represent the length of the two boards of equal length. The length of the third board can be represented by x - 6, since it is 6 inches shorter than the other two.

Create an equation to represent this and solve for x:

(x) + (x) + (x - 6) = 84

3x - 6 = 84

3x = 90

x = 30

So, the two boards of equal length are 30 inches long.

Subtract 6 from this to find the length of the third board:

30 - 6

= 24

The two boards of equal length are 30 inches long, and the third board is 24 inches long.

How many 2cm×2cm cubes can be packed in a box 1m long,20cm wide and 4cm deep.​

Answers

Answer:

1000

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess, something went wrong with the text up there.

I assume it should say 2cm×2cm×2cm cubes. right ? because a cube has 3 dimensions, not just 2.

otherwise an infinitely large number of "just squares" would fit into the box ...

so, the box is

1m×20cm×4cm = 100cm×20cm×4cm = 8000 cm³

a single cube would be

2cm×2cm×2cm = 8 cm³

therefore,

8000 / 8 = 1000 cubes can be packed into that box, since the dimensions of the box in relation to the dimensions of the cubes do not force to have some empty left over space. the box can be packed tightly.

An 8×8×8 cm cube was painted red, and then broken up into small cubes with side lengths of 1 cm. How many small cubes have none of their faces painted red?

Answers

Answer:

216

Step-by-step explanation:

If you just paint the surface of the cube, then the inside of the cube would not have any of their faces painted red.

Just looking at the cube from a side view, you would realize that there would be a smaller cube, 6 x 6 x 6 (not 7 since you have to account for both the top side and the bottom side), and so that is the answer, 6 ^ 3, which is 216.

Answer:

216

Step-by-step explanation:

8 * 8 * 8 = 512

8 * 8 = 64

Each face is 64 cubes, overlapping at the edges, with 6 faces total.

16 + 12 = 28 for each overlapping cube on each side

64 * 6 = 384

384 - 2(28) = 328

Top & Bottom dealt with, overlap from them is 56 units total, 14 units on top and bottom of each face..

64 - 14 = 50

50 * 2 = 100

Front & Back dealt with.

328 - 100 = 228

64 - 28 = 36

36 * 2 = 72

228 - 72 = 156

...

OR

6^3 = 216

A certain dataset of systolic blood pressure measurements has a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 3. Assuming the distribution is bell-shaped and we randomly select a measurement:
a) What percentage of measurements are between 71 and 89?
b) What is the probability a person's blood systolic pressure measures more than 89?
c) What is the probability a person's blood systolic pressure being at most 75?
d) We should expect 15% of patients have a blood pressure below what measurement?
e) Would it be unusual for 3 patients to have a mean blood pressure measurement of more than 84? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = systolic blood pressure measurements.

It is provided that, [tex]X\sim N(\mu=80,\sigma^{2}=3^{2})[/tex].

(a)

Compute the percentage of measurements that are between 71 and 89 as follows:

[tex]P(71<X<89)=P(\frac{71-80}{3}<\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{89-80}{3})[/tex]

                        [tex]=P(-3<Z<3)\\=P(Z<3)-P(Z<-3)\\=0.99865-0.00135\\=0.9973[/tex]

The percentage is, 0.9973 × 100 = 99.73%.

Thus, the percentage of measurements that are between 71 and 89 is 99.73%.

(b)

Compute the probability that a person's blood systolic pressure measures more than 89 as follows:

[tex]P(X>89)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{89-80}{3})[/tex]

                [tex]=P(Z>3)\\=1-P(Z<3)\\=1-0.99865\\=0.00135\\\approx 0.0014[/tex]

Thus, the probability that a person's blood systolic pressure measures more than 89 is 0.0014.

(c)

Compute the probability that a person's blood systolic pressure being at most 75 as follows:

Apply continuity correction:

[tex]P(X\leq 75)=P(X<75-0.5)[/tex]

                [tex]=P(X<74.5)\\\\=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{74.5-80}{3})\\\\=P(Z<-1.83)\\\\=0.03362\\\\\approx 0.034[/tex]

Thus, the probability that a person's blood systolic pressure being at most 75 is 0.034.

(d)

Let x be the blood pressure required.

Then,

P (X < x) = 0.15

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.15

z = -1.04

Compute the value of x as follows:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\-1.04=\frac{x-80}{3}\\\\x=80-(1.04\times3)\\\\x=76.88\\\\x\approx 76.9[/tex]

Thus, the 15% of patients are expected to have a blood pressure below 76.9.

(e)

A z-score more than 2 or less than -2 are considered as unusual.

Compute the z score for [tex]\bar x[/tex] as follows:

[tex]z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

  [tex]=\frac{84-80}{3/\sqrt{3}}\\\\=2.31[/tex]

The z-score for the mean blood pressure measurement of 3 patients is more than 2.

Thus, it would be unusual.

In a study of 24 criminals convicted of antitrust offenses, the average age was 60 years, with a standard deviation of 7.4 years. Construct a 95% confidence interval on the true mean age. (Give your answers correct to one decimal place.)___ to____ years

Answers

Answer: 56.9 years to 63.1 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for population mean (when population standard deviation is unknown):

[tex]\overline{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

, where [tex]\overline{x}[/tex]= sample mean, n= sample size, s= sample standard deviation, [tex]t_{\alpha/2}[/tex]= Two tailed t-value for [tex]\alpha[/tex].

Given: n= 24

degree of freedom = n- 1= 23

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex]= 60 years

s= 7.4 years

[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex]

Two tailed t-critical value for significance level of [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] and degree of freedom 23:

[tex]t_{\alpha/2}=2.0687[/tex]

A 95% confidence interval on the true mean age:

[tex]60\pm (2.0686){\dfrac{7.4}{\sqrt{24}}}\\\\\approx60\pm3.1\\\\=(60-3.1,\ 60+3.1)\\\\=(56.9,\ 63.1)[/tex]

Hence, a 95% confidence interval on the true mean age. : 56.9 years to 63.1 years.

PLEASE HELP ME!!! The students in Suzanne's school are painting a rectangular mural outside the building that will be 15 feet by 45 feet. To prepare they are create a scale drawing that represents 20% of the given dimensions. What is the length and width of the scale drawing?

Answers

Answer:

length of scale drawing = 9 feet

width of scale drawing = 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual dimension  15 feet by 45 feet.

length = 45 feet

width = 15 feet

Dimension on drawing is 20% of actual dimension.

20% = 20/100

Thus,

20% of 15 feet = 20/100 * 15 feet = 3 feet

20% of 45 feet = 20/100 * 45 feet = 9 feet

Thus, length of scale drawing = 9 feet

width of scale drawing = 3 feet

Required:
a. What is the point estimate of the mean salary for all college graduates in this town?
b. Determine the sample size used for the analysis.

Answers

Answer: a. $40,800 b. 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : a 99% confidence interval for the mean salary of college graduates in a town in Mississippi is given by [$34,393, $47,207].

[tex]\sigma= \$14,900[/tex]

a. Since Point estimate of of the mean = Average of upper limit and lower limit of the interval.

Therefore , the point estimate of the mean salary for all college graduates in this town = [tex]\dfrac{34393+47207}{2}=\dfrac{81600}{2}[/tex]

= 40,800

hence, the point estimate of the mean salary for all college graduates in this town = $40,800

b.  Since  lower limit = Point estimate - margin of error, where Margin of error is the half of the difference between upper limit and lower limit.

Margin of error[tex]=\dfrac{47207-34393}{2}=6407[/tex]

Also, margin of error = [tex]z\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex], where z= critical z-value for confidence level and n is the sample size.

z-value for 99% confidence level  = 2.576

So,

[tex]6407=2.576\times\dfrac{14900}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \sqrt{n}=2.576\times\dfrac{14900}{6407}=5.99\\\\\Rightarrow\ n=(5.99)^2=35.8801\approx 36[/tex]

The sample size used for the analysis =36

2067 Supp Q.No. 2a Find the sum of all the natural numbers between 1 and 100 which are divisible by 5. Ans: 1050 ​

Answers

5

Answer:

1050

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural Numbers are positive whole numbers. They aren't negative, decimals, fractions. We can just divide 5 into 100 to find how many natural numbers go up to 100 and just add them but that is just to much.

There is a easier method.

E.g: Natural Numbers that are divisible by a Nth Number. is the same as adding the Nth Numbers to a multiple of that Nth Term. For example, let say we need to find numbers divisible by 2. We know that 4 is divisible by 2 because 4/2=2. We can add the Nth numbers which is 2 to 4. 4+2=6. And 6 is divisible by 2 because 6/2=3. We can call this a arithmetic series. A series which has a pattern of adding a common difference

Back to the problem, we can use the sum of arithmetic series formula,

[tex]y = x( \frac{z {}^{1} + {z}^{n} }{2} )[/tex]

Where x is the number of terms in our sequence. Z1 is the fist term of our series. ZN is our last term. And y is the sum of all of the terms

The first term is 5, the numbers of terms being added is 20 because 100/5=20. The last term is 100.

[tex]y = 20( \frac{5 + 100}{2} )[/tex]

[tex]y = 20( \frac{105}{2} )[/tex]

[tex]y = 1050[/tex]
