Answer:

  $3364.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the cone is given by the formula ...

  V = (1/3)πr²h

Filling in the given numbers, we find the volume to be ...

  V = (1/3)π(1.5 m)²(7 m) = 5.25π m³ ≈ 16.49336 m³

The cost of the rice will be the product of this volume and the price per cubic meter:

  cost = (16.49336 m³)($204/m³) = $3364.65

The cost of the rice necessary to fill the volume is $3364.65.

_____

<em>Comment on pi</em>

If you use the value 3.14 for pi, the cost comes to $3362.94. A 3-digit value of pi only gives an answer good in its first 3 digits.

The amount of time it takes Isabella to wait for the bus is continuous and uniformly distributed between 3 minutes and 15 minute
madam [21]

Answer:

33.33% probability that it takes Isabella more than 11 minutes to wait for the bus

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value X lower than x is given by the following formula.

P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}

For this problem, we have that:

Uniformly distributed between 3 minutes and 15 minutes:

So a = 3, b = 15

What is the probability that it takes Isabella more than 11 minutes to wait for the bus?

Either she has to wait 11 or less minutes for the bus, or she has to wait more than 11 minutes. The sum of these probabilities is 1. So

P(X \leq 11) + P(X > 11) = 1

We want P(X > 11). So

P(X > 11) = 1 - P(X \leq 11) = 1 - \frac{11 - 3}{15 - 3} = 0.3333

33.33% probability that it takes Isabella more than 11 minutes to wait for the bus
