A rectangular container is 12cm long, 11cm wide and 10cm high. The container is filled with water to a depth of 8cm. A metal sph

ere of radius 3.5 cm is placed in the water and sinks to the bottom. Calculate the rise in water level, giving your answer in 3 significant figures.
Please can you show workings out? Many thanks

1) Initial volume of water inside the container: V1

V1 = 12cm*11cm*8cm = 1056 cm^3

2) Volumen of the sphere: V2

V2 = [4/3]π(r^3) = [4/3]π(3.5cm)^3 = 179.59 cm^3

3) Volume of the water plus the sphere: V3

V3 = V1+V2 = 1056 cm^3 +179.59cm^3 = 1,235.59 cm^3

4) Final level of the water inside the container: h

h = 1,239.59cm^3 / (12cm*11cm) = 9.36 cm

Answer:

n = 98, that is, she scored at the 98th percentile.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

She scored 38, so X = 38

Test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 25 and a standard deviation of 6.4.

This means that \mu = 25, \sigma = 6.4

Find the percentile:

We have to find the pvalue of Z. So

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

Z = \frac{38 - 25}{6.4}

Z = 2.03

Z = 2.03 has a pvalue of 0.98(rounding to two decimal places).

So n = 98, that is, she scored at the 98th percentile.

A sidewalk is built 12 bricks wide by laying each brick side by side.how many inches wide is this sidewalk is each brick measure
yaroslaw [1]

To solve for the width simply multiply the two numbers:

width of sidewalk = 12 * (3 7/8)

 

Where 3 7/8 = 31/8

 

so calculating,

width of sidewalk = 12 * (31 / 8)

<span>width of sidewalk = 46.5 inches</span>

Need help pleaseI was bad at math in school so lwant to learn

The probability of an event is expressed as

Pr(\text{event) =}\frac{Total\text{ number of favourable/desired outcome}}{Tota\text{l number of possible outcome}}

Given:

\begin{gathered} \text{Red}\Rightarrow2 \\ \text{Green}\Rightarrow3 \\ \text{Blue}\Rightarrow2 \\ \Rightarrow Total\text{ number of balls = 2+3+2=7 balls} \end{gathered}

The probability of drwing two blue balls one after the other is expressed as

Pr(\text{blue)}\times Pr(blue)

For the first draw:

\begin{gathered} Pr(\text{blue) = }\frac{number\text{ of blue balls}}{total\text{ number of balls}} \\ =\frac{2}{7} \end{gathered}

For the second draw, we have only 1 blue ball left out of a total of 6 balls (since a blue ball with drawn earlier).

Thus,

\begin{gathered} Pr(\text{blue)}=\frac{number\text{ of blue balls left}}{total\text{ number of balls left}} \\ =\frac{1}{6} \end{gathered}

The probability of drawing two blue balls one after the other is evaluted as

\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{6}\times\frac{2}{7} \\ =\frac{1}{21} \end{gathered}

The probablity that none of the balls drawn is blue is evaluted as

\begin{gathered} 1-\frac{1}{21} \\ =\frac{20}{21} \end{gathered}

Hence, the probablity that none of the balls drawn is blue is evaluted as

\frac{20}{21}

Please help me out............................

Answer:

<h2>b = 15°</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If Pq = RQ then ΔPQR is the isosceles triangle. The angles QPR and PRQ have the same measures.

We know: The sum of the measures of the angeles in the triangle is equal 180°. Therefore we have the equation:

m∠QPR + m∠PRQ + m∠RQP = 180°

We have

m∠QPR = m∠PRQ and m∠RQP = 60°

Therefore

2(m∠QPR) + 60° = 180°       <em>subtract 60° from both sides</em>

2(m∠QPR) = 120°           <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

m∠QPR = 60° and m∠PRQ = 60°

Therefore ΔPRQ is equaliteral.

ΔPSR is isosceles. Therefore ∠SPR and ∠PRS are congruent. Therefore

m∠SPR = m∠PRS

In ΔAPS we have:

m∠SPR + m∠PRS + m∠RSP = 180°

2(m∠SPR) + 90° = 180°            <em>subtract 90° from both sides</em>

2(m∠SPR) = 90°             <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

m∠SPR = 45° and m∠PRS = 45°

m∠PRQ = m∠PRS + b

Susbtitute:

60° = 45° + b           <em>subtract 45° from both sides</em>

15° = b
