Answer:

2.275%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do here is to calculate the z-score

Mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

from the question, x = 12,300 hours , mean = 11,500 hours while Standard deviation(SD) = 400 hours

Plugging the values we have;

z-score = (12,300-11,500)/400 = 800/400 = 2

Now, we want to calculate P(z ≤ 2)

This is so because we are calculating within a particular value

To calculate this, we use the z-score table.

Mathematically;

P(z ≤ 2) = 1 - P(z > 2) = 1 - 0.97725 = 0.02275

To percentage = 2.275%

Find the area of the largest rectangle (with sides parallel to the coordinate axes) that can be inscribed in the region enclosed
garik1379 [7]
F(x) = 18-x^2 is a parabola having vertex at (0, 18) and opening downwards. 
g(x) = 2x^2-9 is a parabola having vertex at (0, -9) and opening upwards. 
By symmetry, let the x-coordinates of the vertices of rectangle be x and -x => its width is 2x. 
Height of the rectangle is y1 + y2, where y1 is the y-coordinate of the vertex on the parabola f and y2 is that of g.
 => Area, A 
= 2x (y1 - y2) 
= 2x (18 - x^2 - 2x^2 + 9) 
= 2x (27 - 3x^2) 
= 54x - 6x^3 
For area to be maximum, dA/dx = 0 and d²A/dx² < 0 
=> 54 - 18x^2 = 0 
=> x = √3 (note: x = - √3 gives the x-coordinate of vertex in second and third quadrants) 

d²A/dx² = - 36x < 0 for x = √3 
=> maximum area 
= 54(√3) - 6(√3)^3 
= 54√3 - 18√3 
= 36√3.

Write these fractions in order size smallest first show you're working 5/12 1/3 4/9 11/27
Bezzdna [24]
First find the lowest common multiple of the denominators which are 12 3 9 and 27 these all go into 108. Next divide 108 by the original denominators for example 108/12 is 9 then times 9 by the numerator which is 5 and you get 45 so the first one is 45/108. Do this for them all and order by the size of the numerator

Maya says that value of the 6 in 0.006 is 1/10 of the value of the 6 in 0.6 . Is she correct? Explain
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Maya is NOT correct  as

\frac{1}{1000} is  1/100 of the value \frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of 6 in 0.006 = \frac{1}{1000}

Also, the value of 6 in 0.6  = \frac{1}{10}

But, \frac{1}{1000} is not 1/10  of the value  \frac{1}{10}

as 1/10  of the value  \frac{1}{10}  =  \frac{1}{100}

Hence,Maya is NOT correct.

\frac{1}{1000} is  1/100 of the value \frac{1}{10}
