X = 1st piece, y = 2nd piece, z = 3rd piece

x + y + z = 224
x = 2y
z = 1/2y

2y + y + 1/2y = 224
3.5y = 224
y = 224/3.5
y = 64 cm<== 2nd piece

x = 2y
x = 2(64)
x = 128 cm...1st piece

z = 1/2y
z = 1/2(64)
z = 64/2
z = 32 cm....3rd piece

First=2x
third=x/2
x+2x+(x/2)=5x/2
7x/2=224
multiply by 2
(7x/2)*2=224*2
5x=448
x=64
x=64 cm the second part
first part =2x=64*z=128 cm
third part=x/2=64/2=32 cm

Suppose that lithium calculator battery with a charge of 3 volts, actually has a voltage with uniform distribution between 2.93
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

b. E(X) = 3.015, STDEV(X)= 0.049, P (X ≤ 2.98) = 0.2941

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The mean of the uniform probability distribution is:

M = \frac{a + b}{2}

The standard deviation of the uniform distribution is:

S = \sqrt{\frac{(b-a)^{2}}{12}}

The probability that we find a value X lower than x is given by the following formula.

P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}

Uniform distribution between 2.93 and 3.1 volts

This means that a = 2.93, b = 3.1. So

Mean:

M = \frac{2.93 + 3.1}{2} = 3.015

Standard deviation:

S = \sqrt{\frac{(3.1 - 2.93)^{2}}{12}} = 0.049

What is the probability that a battery has a voltage less than 2.98?

P(X \leq 2.98) = \frac{2.98 - 2.93}{3.1 - 2.93} = 0.2941

So the correct answer is:

b. E(X) = 3.015, STDEV(X)= 0.049, P (X ≤ 2.98) = 0.2941

Please Help!! Find the Polynomial!!
grin007 [14]

Answer:

\pi x^2-8\pi x+16\pi

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the inner circle, we need to find its radius. Here, we can write the radius as 4 - x. Now, we can use the formula A=\pi r^2:

A = \pi * (4-x)^2

We can expand the square:

A = \pi *(16-8x+x^2)=\pi x^2-8\pi x+16\pi

Thus, the polynomial is \pi x^2-8\pi x+16\pi.

Hope this helps!
