The SAT mathematics scores in the state of Florida for this year are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a

standard deviation of 100. Using the empirical rule, what is the probability that a randomly selected score lies between 300 and 700? Express your answer as a decimal.

99.7%

This is because the likelihood of a point being within 2 SDs of the mean is 99.7%.

The surface area of a right circular cone of radius r and height h is S = πr√ r 2 + h 2 , and its volume is V = 1 3 πr2h. What i

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Required largest volume is 0.407114 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given surface area of a right circular cone of radious r and height h is,

$S=\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}$

and volume,

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

To find the largest volume if the surface area is S=8 (say), then applying Lagranges multipliers,

$f(r,h)=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

subject to,

$g(r,h)=\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}=8\hfill (1)$

We know for maximum volume $r\neq 0$ . So let $\lambda$ be the Lagranges multipliers be such that,

$f_r=\lambda g_r$

$\implies \frac{2}{3}\pi r h=\lambda (\pi \sqrt{r^2+h^2}+\frac{\pi r^2}{\sqrt{r^2+h^2}})$

$\implies \frac{2}{3}r h= \lambda (\sqrt{r^2+h^2}+\frac{ r^2}{\sqrt{r^2+h^2}})\hfill (2)$

And,

$f_h=\lambda g_h$

$\implies \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2=\lambda \frac{\pi rh}{\sqrt{r^2+h^2}}$

$\implies \lambda=\frac{r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}}{3h}\hfill (3)$

Substitute (3) in (2) we get,

$\frac{2}{3}rh=\frac{r\sqrt{R^2+h^2}}{3h}(\sqrt{R^2+h^2+}+\frac{r^2}{\sqrt{r^2+h^2}})$

$\implies \frac{2}{3}rh=\frac{r}{3h}(2r^2+h^2)$

$\implies h^2=2r^2$

Substitute this value in (1) we get,

$\pi r\sqrt{h^2+r^2}=8$

$\implies \pi r \sqrt{2r^2+r^2}=8$

$\implies r=\sqrt{\frac{8}{\pi\sqrt{3}}}\equiv 1.21252$

Then,

$h=\sqrt{2}(1.21252)\equiv 1.71476$

Hence largest volume,

$V=\frac{1}{3}\times \pi \times\frac{\pi}{8\sqrt{3}}\times 1.71476=0.407114$
