a) We have to calculate the height of the pad.

We know that the volume will be 4704 cubic feet.

We also know that the base of the pad is a square of side length 56 feet.

As the volume is the area of the base times the height, we can find the height by dividing the volume by the base area:

\begin{gathered} V=A_b\cdot h \\ h=\frac{V}{A_b}=\frac{4704\text{ ft}^3}{(56\text{ ft})^2}=\frac{4704}{3136}\text{ ft}=1.5\text{ ft} \end{gathered}

The height is 1.5 feet.

b) Now, we have a circular pad of which we know the height (1.5 feet) and the volume (4705 ft³). The area of the base will have to be the same as the are of the square: 3136 ft².

The area of this circular pad can be expressed as πD²/4, so we can calculate the diameter D as:

\begin{gathered} A=3136 \\ \frac{\pi D^2}{4} \\ D^2=3136*\frac{4}{\pi} \\ D^2=3136*\frac{4}{3.14} \\ D^2=3994.9045 \\ D=\sqrt{3994.9045} \\ D\approx63.21 \end{gathered}

The diameter is approximately 63.21 feet.

Answer:

a) The pad will be 1.5 feet thick

b) The diameter will be 63.21 feet.

Percentage grade averages were taken across all disciplines at a particular university, and the mean average was found to be 83.
Paha777 [63]
Correct Answer:
Option A. 0.01

Solution:
This is a problem of statistics and uses the concept of normal distributions. We need to convert the score of 90 into z-score and then find the desired probability from standard normal distribution table.

Converting 90 to z-score:

z= \frac{90-83.6}{ \frac{8.7}{ \sqrt{10}} }=2.33

Now we are to find the probability of z score being more than 2.33. From the z-table the probability comes out to be 0.01.

Therefore, we can conclude that the probability of class average is greater than 90 is 0.01.
