(a) If a kitten weighs 99 grams at birth, it is at 5.72 percentile of the weight distribution.

(b) For a kitten to be at 90th percentile, the minimum weight is 146.45 g.

<h3>Weight distribution of the kitten</h3>

In a normal distribution curve;

  • 2 standard deviation (2d) below the mean (M), (M - 2d) is at 2%
  • 1 standard deviation (d) below the mean (M), (M - d) is at 16 %
  • 1 standard deviation (d) above the mean (M), (M + d) is at 84%
  • 2 standard deviation (2d) above the mean (M), (M + 2d) is at 98%

M - 2d = 125 g - 2(15g) = 95 g

M - d = 125 g - 15 g = 110 g

95 g is at 2% and 110 g is at 16%

(16% - 2%) = 14%

(110 - 95) = 15 g

14% / 15g = 0.93%/g

From 95 g to 99 g:

99 g - 95 g  = 4 g

4g x 0.93%/g = 3.72%

99 g will be at:

(2% + 3.72%) = 5.72%

Thus, if a kitten weighs 99 grams at birth, it is at 5.72 percentile of the weight distribution.

<h3>Weight of the kitten in the 90th percentile</h3>

M + d = 125 + 15 = 140 g      (at 84%)

M + 2d = 125 + 2(15) = 155 g   ( at 98%)

155 g - 140 g = 15 g

14% / 15g = 0.93%/g

84% + x(0.93%/g) = 90%

84 + 0.93x = 90

0.93x = 6

x = 6.45 g

weight of a kitten in 90th percentile = 140 g + 6.45 g  = 146.45 g

Thus, for a kitten to be at 90th percentile, the approximate weight is 146.45 g

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The solution code is written in Java.

  1. public class Movie {
  2.    private double  [][] seats = new double[5][5];
  3.    private double totalSales;
  4.    public Movie(){
  5.        for(int i= 0; i < this.seats.length; i++){
  6.            for(int j = 0; j < this.seats[i].length; j++){
  7.                this.seats[i][j] = 12;
  8.            }
  9.        }
  10.        this.totalSales = 0;
  11.    }
  12.    public boolean bookSeat(int i, int j)
  13.    {
  14.        if(this.seats[i][j] != 0){
  15.            this.totalSales += this.seats[i][j];
  16.            this.seats[i][j] = 0;
  17.            return true;
  18.        }else{
  19.            return false;
  20.        }
  21.    }
  22. }

Explanation:

The method, bookSeat(), as required by the question is presented from Line 16 - 26 as part of the public method in a class <em>Movie</em>.  This method take row,<em> i</em>, and column,<em> j</em>, as input.

By presuming the seats is an two-dimensional array with all its elements are  initialized 12 (Line 7 - 10). This means we presume the movie ticket price for all the seats are $12, for simplicity.

When the<em> bookSeat() </em>method is invoked, it will check if the current price of seats at row-i and column-i is 0. If not, the current price, will be added to the <em>totalSales </em>(Line 19)<em> </em>and then set the price to 0 (Line 20) and return <em>true</em> since the ticket is successfully sold (Line 21).  If it has already been sold, return <em>false</em> (Line 23).

A projectile is launched vertically with a velocity of 30 mxs . How long will it take to return to the original launch position?
rewona [7]

Answer: If the projectile is launched vertically, then you only aply velocity on the y axis.

The velocity 30 m/s is the initial velocity and if it is fired on the ground, then the initial position is 0m (this doesn't really matter), and now, let's analyze the forces on the projectile.

Once it is fired, the only force acting on the projectile is the force of gravity, and we know that the gravity acceleration is -g =  -9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }, where the negative sign is there because this acceleration points downward.

so A(t) =  -9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }

For the velocity, we need to integrate the acceleration in the time, this is:

v(t) = -9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }*t + v0

where v0 is the initial velocity, in this case 30m/s

And for the position, we need to integrate again, so:

r(t) = -4.9\frac{m}{s^{2} }*t^{2}  + 30\frac{m}{s} *t + r0

where r0 is the initial position, in this case 0m.

now the question is "How long will it take to return to the original launch position?"

So now we need to find the time in which r(t) is zero again (so the projectile is in the ground again

so r(t) = 0 = r(t) = -4.9\frac{m}{s^{2} }*t^{2}  + 30\frac{m}{s} *t + r0

this is: r(t) =  t*(-4.9*t + 30) = 0

so is easy to see that t = 0 (because it is fired in the ground) is a solution, but is not the one that we are looking for,

so we only look inside the parentheses:

-4.9*t + 30 = 0

t = 30/4.9 = 6.12 s

So 6.12 seconds after the projectile is fired, it returns to the ground, or the original launch position.

Can anybody teach me how to make an app with flask and pygame together?​
sweet [91]

Answer:

no :-(

Explanation:

Are you sure these technologies fit together?

As I understand it, flask is a library to write web services using python. It will essentially serve HTML pages and perhaps REST interfaces?

Pygame is a local machine abstraction layer to graphics and other i/o. I don't think it will run in a browser.

What is your plan?
