Cidnee is weighing combinations of geometric solids. She found that 4 cylinders and 5 prisms weigh 32 ounces and that 1 cylinder

vitfil [10]

Answer:

The weights of each cylinder and prism are 3 and 4 ounces, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $x$ and $y$ the masses of a cylinder and a prism, measured in ounces, respectively. After a careful reading of the statement we get the following linear equations by interpretation:

i) <em>She found that 4 cylinders and 5 prisms weigh 32 ounces:</em>

$4\cdot x +5\cdot y = 32\,oz$ (Eq. 1)

ii) <em>And that 1 cylinder and 8 prisms weigh 35 ounces:</em>

$x + 8\cdot y = 35\,oz$ (Eq. 2)

Now we solve the system of linear equations algebraically:

From (Eq. 2):

$x = 35 - 8\cdot y$

(Eq. 2) is (Eq. 1):

$4\cdot (35-8\cdot y) + 5\cdot y = 32$

$140-32\cdot y +5\cdot y = 32$

$32\cdot y - 5\cdot y = 140-32$

$27\cdot y = 108$

$y = 4\,oz$

From (Eq. 2):

$x = 35 - 8\cdot (4)$

$x = 35 - 32$

$x = 3\,oz$

The weights of each cylinder and prism are 3 and 4 ounces, respectively.

It is estimated that 30% of households own a riding lawn mower. A sample of 17 households is studied. What is the standard devia

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

1.89 is the standard deviation of households who own a riding mower

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X denote the number of households owning a riding lawn mower. From the given information, X will be a Binomial random variable with parameters; n = 17 and p = 30% = 0.3

The standard deviation of X;

$\sqrt{n*p*(1-p)}$
