<h3>Answer: 53/108</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

Step 1) add up all the values in the circles "drama" and "music". Those values are 51, 15, 12, 11, 7, 63. So we get 51+15+12+11+7+63 = 159. There are 159 students that are in drama, music, or both. Some take athletics as well, but we aren't concerned with that third class.
Step 2) Divide 159 over the total number of juniors, which is 324. We get 159/324.
Step 3) Reduce the fraction 159/324 to get the answer 53/108. You would divide both parts of 159/324 by the GCF 3. So we have 159/3 = 53 and 324/3 = 108

If you want the decimal approximation, then use a calculator to get roughly 53/108 = 0.4907, though your teacher wants the exact fraction form.

Suppose that the length of a side of a cube X is uniformly distributed in the interval 9

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$f(v) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{3}v^{-\frac{2}{3}}\ 9^3 \le v \le 10^3} \atop {0, elsewhere}} \right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$9 < x < 10$ --- interval

Required

The probability density of the volume of the cube

The volume of a cube is:

$v = x^3$

For a uniform distribution, we have:

$x \to U(a,b)$

and

$f(x) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a}\ a \le x \le b} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

$9 < x < 10$ implies that:

$(a,b) = (9,10)$

So, we have:

$f(x) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{10-9}\ 9 \le x \le 10} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

Solve

$f(x) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{1}\ 9 \le x \le 10} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

$f(x) = \left \{ {{1\ 9 \le x \le 10} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

Recall that:

$v = x^3$

Make x the subject

$x = v^\frac{1}{3}$

So, the cumulative density is:

$F(x) = P(x < v^\frac{1}{3})$

$f(x) = \left \{ {{1\ 9 \le x \le 10} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$ becomes

$f(x) = \left \{ {{1\ 9 \le x \le v^\frac{1}{3} - 9} \atop {0\ elsewhere}} \right.$

The CDF is:

$F(x) = \int\limits^{v^\frac{1}{3}}_9 1\ dx$

Integrate

$F(x) = [v]\limits^{v^\frac{1}{3}}_9$

Expand

$F(x) = v^\frac{1}{3} - 9$

The density function of the volume F(v) is:

$F(v) = F'(x)$

Differentiate F(x) to give:

$F(x) = v^\frac{1}{3} - 9$

$F'(x) = \frac{1}{3}v^{\frac{1}{3}-1}$

$F'(x) = \frac{1}{3}v^{-\frac{2}{3}}$

$F(v) = \frac{1}{3}v^{-\frac{2}{3}}$

So:

$f(v) = \left \{ {{\frac{1}{3}v^{-\frac{2}{3}}\ 9^3 \le v \le 10^3} \atop {0, elsewhere}} \right.$

The average sunflower has 34 petals. What is the best estimate of the total number of petals on 57 sunflowers?

stellarik [79]

Your initial instinct would be to solve this problem with this solution. 34 x 57 = 1,938 petals.

However, the word estimate is present; therefore, we have to consider that we need to get the approximate number and not the exact number of petals.

There is a general rule regarding estimation or approximation. You have to round it to the nearest place you have based on. In this problem we round it off to the nearest tens place.

If the number is below 5, you round it down: 34 is rounded down to 30 petals.

If the number is above 5, you round it up: 57 is rounded up to 60 sunflowers.

Thus, your equation would be : 30 x 60 = 1,800 petals (best estimate)
