Answer:

Mean = 15.15

Standard deviation = 0.6062

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a uniform distribution of  quantity to be put in each bag.

Low and high filling weights:

14.1 pounds and 16.2 pounds

a = 14.1

b = 16.2

a) Mean:

\mu = \displaystyle\frac{a+b}{2}\\\\\mu = \frac{14.1+16.2}{2} = 15.15

b) Standard Deviation:

\sigma = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{(b-a)^2}{12}}\\\\= \sqrt{\dfrac{(16.2-14.1)^2}{12}} = \sqrt{0.3675} = 0.6062

Use Cavalieri’s Principle to calculate the exact volume of an oblique cylinder with a radius of 15 meters and a height of 12 met
nignag [31]
Cavalieri's principle states that volume formulas for pyramids and cones will also apply to both right and oblique solids, a<span>s long as the "matching" cross section areas are equal. 

So we can use the formula V=bh regardless of the resulting shape. 
V = bh = </span>π(15 m)²(12 m) = 2700π m³ ≈ 8482.3 m³

Can someone help please?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex of the given parabola = (1, -4)

Since, vertex form of a parabola is given by,

y = (x - h)² + k

Here (h, k) is the vertex

Now substitute the coordinates (1, -4) in the equation.

y = (x - 1)²- 4 [Vertex Form]

Further solve this equation,

y = x² - 2x + 1 - 4

y = x² - 2x - 3 [Standard form]

Further write this equation in the factored form,

y = x² - 3x + x - 3

y = x(x - 3) + 1(x - 3)

y = (x + 1)(x - 3) [Factored form]

If 2n - 7 = 5, what is the value of n?<br> *<br> A) 1<br> B) 6 <br> C) -1<br> D) 12
Contact [7]

The value of n is 6.

First, you must add 7 on both sides.

2n=12

Then, you must divide both sides by 2.

n=6
