An office building loses a third of its heat between sundown and midnight and an additional half of the original amount of heat

between midnight and 4 AM. If five-eighths of the remaining heat is lost between 4 AM and 5 AM, what proportion of the total heat loss occurs between 5 AM and sunrise?

Answer:

\dfrac{1}{16}

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion of Heat Loss Between sundown and midnight=\dfrac{1}{3}

Proportion of Heat Loss between midnight and 4 AM  =\dfrac{1}{2}

Proportion of Total Heat Already Lost =\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{2} =\dfrac{5}{6}

Proportion of Remaining Heat =1-\dfrac{5}{6}=\dfrac{1}{6}

Between 4 AM and 5 AM, five-eighths of the remaining heat is lost.

Proportion of Heat Loss between 4 AM and 5 AM= \dfrac{5}{8}$ X \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{5}{48}

Therefore, Proportion of Remaining Heat Left =\dfrac{1}{6}- \dfrac{5}{48}=\dfrac{1}{16}

We therefore say that:

\dfrac{1}{16}$ of the total heat loss occurs between 5 AM and sunrise.

(GIVING BRAINLIEST)Tyra's family is spending the afternoon in Millersville. They plan to see a movie and then explore the town.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

36+4h=60

36+4h-36=60-36

4h=24

4h÷4=24÷4

h=6

So, after the move they can spend 6 hours there. (6×4=24, 24+36=60, they will spend $60 if they spend 6 hours there, $56 if they spend 5 hours there and don't want to spend $60).

Adult female height is normally distributed with a mean of 65.3 inches and a standard deviation of 2.32 inches. a) If an adult f
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

0.0423 is the probability that the adult female has a height less than 61.3 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 65.3 inches

Standard Deviation, σ = 2.32 inches

We are given that the distribution of adult female height is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(adult female has a height less than 61.3 inches)

P( x < 61.3) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{61.3 - 65.3}{2.32}) = P(z < -1.7241)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x < 61.3) =0.0423 = 4.23\%

0.0423 is the probability that the adult female has a height less than 61.3 inches.
