Answer:

The maximum number of 76-pound boxes that can be loaded in the elevator is:

  • <u>26 boxes</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the maximum lift capacity is 2000 pounds and each box is identical (meaning there are no heavier or lighter boxes) than 76 pounds, the number of boxes can be identified by the following equation:

  • The maximum number of boxes = maximum lift capacity / weight per box.

Whereby replacing the values we get:

  • Maximum number of boxes = 2000 pounds / 76 pounds
  • <u>Maximum number of boxes = 26.3158 boxes</u>

Since the boxes are represented by integers, <u>the maximum number of boxes that can be loaded into the elevator at one time is 26</u>.

Take 2000 divide 76 =26.3 so the elevator can carry 26 boxes

Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of mu equals 105 and a standard deviation sigma equa
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

0.7698

Step-by-step explanation:

If you call your random variable X, then what you are looking for is

P(87 \leq X \leq 123)

because you want the probability of X being <em>between 87 and 123.</em>

We need a table with of the normal distribution. But we can only find the table with \mu = 0 and \sigma = 1. Because of that, first we need to  <em>normalize </em>our random variable:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} = \frac{X - 105}{15}

(you can always normalize your variable following the same formula!)

now we can do something similar to our limits, to get a better expression:

\frac{87 - 105}{15} = \frac{-18}{15} = -1.2

\frac{123 - 105}{15} = \frac{18}{15} = 1.2

And we transform our problem to a simpler one:

P(87 \leq X \leq 123) = P(-1.2 \leq Z \leq 1.2) = P(Z \leq 1.2) - P(Z \leq -1.2)

(see Figure 1)

From our table we can see that P(Z \leq 1.2) = 0.8849 (this is represented in figure 2).

Remember that the whole area below the curve is exactly 1. So we can conclude that  P(Z \geq 1.2) = 0.1151 (because 0.8849 + 0.1151 = 1). We also know the normal distribution is symmetric, then

P(Z \leq -1.2)= P(Z \geq 1.2) = 0.1151.

FINALLY:

P(Z \leq 1.2) - P(Z \leq -1.2) = 0.8849 - 0.1151 = 0.7698

Consider three events A, B and C with following properties.
lisov135 [29]
By the inclusion/exclusion principle,

\mathbb P(D)=\mathbb P(A\cup B\cup C)
\mathbb P(D)=\mathbb P(A)+\mathbb P(B)+\mathbb P(C)-\bigg(\mathbb P(A\cap B)+\mathbb P(A\cap C)+\mathbb P(B\cap C)\bigg)+\mathbb P(A\cap B\cap C)
\mathbb P(D)=\dfrac14+\dfrac16+\dfrac14-\dfrac39+\dfrac1{13}
\mathbb P(D)=\dfrac{16}{39}\neq1

So the union of A, B, and C does not constitute the entire sample space.

Find a solution of the quadratic equation.6x squared + 7x + 2 =0
worty [1.4K]

Given the equation:

6x^2+7x+2=0

We will use the following rule to find the solution to the equation:

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

From the given equation: a = 6, b = 7, c = 2

So,

\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt[]{7^2-4\cdot6\cdot2}}{2\cdot6}=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt[]{1}}{12}=\frac{-7\pm1}{12} \\ x=\frac{-7-1}{12}=-\frac{8}{12}=-\frac{2}{3} \\ or,x=\frac{-7+1}{12}=-\frac{6}{12}=-\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

So, the answer will be option B) x = -1/2, -2/3
