Let
x-----> distance school to the park
y-----> distance park to the house

we know that
x=1/3 mile
y=1/2 mile

[distance from school to the house]=x+y----> (1/3+1/2)
The common denominator is (3*2)---> 6
=(2*1+3*1)/(3*2)----> 5/6 mile

the answer is
5/6 miles

A box is to be constructed from a sheet of cardboard that is 10 cm by 60 cm by cutting out squares of length x by x from each co
Stells [14]

Volume of a rectangular box = length x width x height<span>

From the problem statement,
length = 60 - 2x
width = 10 - 2x
height = x</span>

<span>
where x is the height of the box or the side of the equal squares from each corner and turning up the sides

V = (60-2x) (10-2x) (x)
V = (60 - 2x) (10x - 2x^2)
V = 600x - 120x^2 -20x^2 + 4x^3
V = 4x^3 - 100x^2 + 600x

To maximize the volume, we differentiate the expression of the volume and equate it to zero.

V = </span>4x^3 - 100x^2 + 600x<span>
dV/dx = 12x^2 - 200x + 600
12x^2 - 200x + 600 = 0</span>

<span>x^2 - 50/3x + 50 = 0

Solving for x,
x1 = 12.74 ;      Volume = -315.56  (cannot be negative)
x2 = 3.92 ;      Volume = 1056.31

So, the answer would be that the maximum volume would be 1056.31 cm^3.

In a random sample of 45 newborn babies, what is the probability that 40% or fewer of the sample are boys. (Use 3 decimal places
erastova [34]

Answer:

z= \frac{p- \mu_p}{\sigma_p}

And the z score for 0.4 is

z = \frac{0.4-0.4}{\sigma_p} = 0

And then the probability desired would be:

P(p

Step-by-step explanation:

The normal approximation for this case is satisfied since the value for p is near to 0.5 and the sample size is large enough, and we have:

np = 45*0.4= 18 >10

n(1-p) = 45*0.6= 27 >10

For this case we can assume that the population proportion have the following distribution  

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

Where:

\mu_{p}= \hat p = 0.4

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}(n} =\sqrt{\frac{0.4(1-0.4)}(45}= 0.0703

And we want to find this probability:

P(p

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z= \frac{p- \mu_p}{\sigma_p}

And the z score for 0.4 is

z = \frac{0.4-0.4}{\sigma_p} = 0

And then the probability desired would be:

P(p

How do i work this out?

She has 45% of the original amount left

<h3>Ratio and proportions</h3>

Fractions are written as a ratio of two integers

Given the following

Initial amount. = ∈4000


Amount given to her sister = 1/4 * 4000 = 1000

Amount given to her brother = 40% of 3000 = 1200

Amount left = 4000 - (1000+1200)

Amount left = ∈1800

Determine the percentage left

x * 4000 = 1800

x = 1800/4000

x = 0.45

x = 45%

Hence she has 45% of the original amount left
