Answer:

a) 68% of organs will be between 270 and 370 grams

b) 95%

c) 5%

d) 97.35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical rule states that

1 standard deviation means a 68% of total area under the normal distribution. On one side is half = 34%.

2 standard deviations means a 95% of total area under the normal distribution. On one side is half = 47.5%.

3 standard deviation means a 99.7% of total area under the normal distribution. On one side is half = 49.85%.

a) Since 1 standard deviation means a 68% of total area under the normal distribution, we have

320 + 50 = 370

320 – 50 = 270

68% of organs will be between 270 and 370 grams

b) Calculate the difference between mean and the percentage of weight of an organ in the problem:

420 – 320 = 100

320 – 220 = 100

Since standard deviation is 50 grams, there is a difference of 2 standard deviations for both sides. According to the rule 95% of the organs are between 200 and 420 grams.  

c) Since 95% of the organs are between 200 and 420 grams, 5% weighs less than 220 grams or more than 420 grams.

d) Calculate the difference between mean and the percentage of weight of an organ in the problem:

420 – 320 = 100

320 – 170 = 150

Since standard deviation is 50 grams, there is a difference of 2 standard deviations for the right side and 2 standard deviations for the left side. According to the rule for 2 standard deviations on one side there is 47.5% and for 3 standard deviations on one side there is 49.85%. so percentage of organs weighs between 170 grams and 420 grams is 47.5% + 49.85% = 97.35%.

Which formula could be used to find the volume of a cube with side length equal to s?
aliina [53]

Answer:

s cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

bc volume is length times width times height so it would be s times s times s which is s cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Angles in a Triangle</u>

There are two basic relations of angles we need to recall:

  • Supplementary angles add up to 180°
  • Internal angles of a triangle add up to 180°

Note a, b, and c are the internal angles of the triangle. The angle c is what is needed to a+b to complete 180°, thus:

c = 180 - ( a + b )

Also, note c and d are supplementary angles. Again, c is what is needed to d to complete 180°, thus

c = 180 - d

From the two relations above, it follows that:

a + b = d

A piece of wire 11 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral tria
forsale [732]

Answer:

11 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can say that the square has a side length of x. The perimeter of the square is 4x, and that is how much wire goes into the square. To maximize the area, we should use all the wire possible, so the remaining wire goes into the triangle, or (11-4x).

The area of the square is x², and the area of an equilateral triangle with side length a is (√3/4)a². Next, 11-4x is equal to the perimeter of the triangle, and since it is equilateral, each side has (11-4x)/3 length. Plugging that in for a, we get the area of the equilateral triangle is

(√3/4)((11-4x)/3)²

= (√3/4)(11/3 - 4x/3)²

= (√3/4)(121/9  - 88x/9 + 16x²/9)

= (16√3/36)x² - (88√3/36)x + (121√3/36)

The total area is then

(16√3/36)x² - (88√3/36)x + (121√3/36) + x²

= (16√3/36 + 1)x² -  (88√3/36)x + (121√3/36)

Because the coefficient for x² is positive, the parabola would open up and the derivative of the parabola would be the local minimum. Therefore, to find the maximum area, we need to go to the absolute minimum/maximum points of x (x=0 or x=2.75)

When x=0, each side of the triangle is 11/3 meters long and its area is

(√3/4)a² ≈ 5.82

When x=2.75, each side of the square is 2.75 meters long and its area is

2.75² = 7.5625

Therefore, a maximum is reached when x=2.75, or the wire used for the square is 2.75 * 4 = 11 meters
