What is the height of the prism if there is 30 square centimeters and the volume is 90 cubic centimeters

sammy [17]

Answer:

the height of the prism =3cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question :there is 30 square centimeters, we can deduce this is the area due to the unit

the volume is 90 cubic centimeters

Volume of prism = Area of base × height

We are to determine the height

90cm³ = 30cm² × height

divide both sides by 30cm²

height = 90cm³/30cm²

height = 3cm

Therefore the height of the prism is 3centimeters

Consider the expression 2√3 cos(x)csc(x)+4cos(x)-3csc(x)-2 √ 3 This expression can be represented as the product of the factors.

Alla [95]

Answer with explanation:

The given expression is:

$2 \sqrt{3}\cos x * \csc x+4 \cos x-3 \csc x-2\sqrt{3}\\\\=2 \cos x*(\sqrt{3}*\csc x+2)-\sqrt{3}*(\sqrt{3}*\csc x+2)\\\\\rightarrow (2\cos x -\sqrt{3})*(\sqrt{3}*\csc x+2)\\\\\rightarrow (2\cos x -\sqrt{3})*(\sqrt{3}*\csc x+2)=0\\\\(2\cos x -\sqrt{3})=0 \wedge (\sqrt{3}*\csc x+2)=0$

$\cos x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \wedge \csc x=\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}\\\\x=\frac{\pi}{6},2\pi-\frac{\pi}{6}\\\\x=\frac{\pi}{6},\frac{11\pi}{6} \wedge x=\pi+\frac{\pi}{3} ,2\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}\\\\x=\frac{4\pi}{3},\frac{5\pi}{3}\\\\x={\frac{\pi}{6},\frac{11\pi}{6},\frac{4\pi}{3},\frac{5\pi}{3}}$

A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires. Given its specific needs, the management feels that there is a 50%

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a) 0.9

b) Mean = 1.58

Standard Deviation = 0.89

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires.

Let X be the variable describing the number of hiring in the company.

Thus, x can take values 0,1 ,2 and 3.

$P(x\geq 2) = 50\%= 0.5\\P(x = 0) = 10\% = 0.1\\P(x = 3) = 18\% = 0.18$

a) P(firm will make at least one hire)

$P(x\geq 2) = P(x=2) + P(x=3)\\0.5 = P(x=2) + 0.18\\ P(x=2) = 0.32$

Also,

$P(x= 0) +P(x= 1) + P(x= 2) + P(x= 3) = 1\\ 0.1 + P(x= 1) + 0.32 + 0.18 = 1\\ P(x= 1) = 1- (0.1+0.32+0.18) = 0.4$

$\text{P(firm will make at least one hire)}\\= P(x\geq 1)\\=P(x=1) + P(x=2) + P(x=3)\\ = 0.4 + 0.32 + 0.18 = 0.9$

b) expected value and the standard deviation of the number of hires.

$E(X) = \displaystyle\sum x_iP(x_i)\\=0(0.1) + 1(0.4) + 2(0.32)+3(0.18) = 1.58$

$E(x^2) = \displaystyle\sum x_i^2P(x_i)\\=0(0.1) + 1(0.4) + 4(0.32) +9(0.18) = 3.3\\V(x) = E(x^2)-[E(x)]^2 = 3.3-(1.58)^2 = 0.80\\\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{V(x)} = \sqrt{0.8036} = 0.89$
