Please help, I’m unsure how to do standard deviation so I’m very confused!

a. With an average/mean of 7 dreams, one standard deviation away from the mean corresponds to the interval [7 - 1.7, 7 + 1.7] = [5.3, 8.7]. So children within one standard deviation of the mean experience somewhere between 5 and 9 dreams. Two standard deviations from the mean refers to the interval [7 - 2 * 1.7, 7 + 2 * 1.7] = [3.6, 10.4]. So children in this range have between 3.6 and 10.4 dreams.

b. We already know that the interval [5.3, 8.7] is one standard deviation from the mean. If we assume the number of dreams is normally distributed with mean 7 and standard deviation 1.7, then we can apply the empirical rule (a.k.a. 68-95-99.7), which says that for any normal distribution, roughly 68% of the distribution falls within one standard deviation of the mean. So we can expect roughly 68% of the 4800 children to have between 5.3 and 8.7 dreams, or about 3264 students.

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

$C(s) = 6s^2 + \dfrac{1500}{s}\\\text{where s is the side of base.}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A storage shed is to be built in the shape of a (closed) box with a square base.

Volume = 150 cubic feet

Let s be the edge of square base and h be the height.

Volume of cuboid =

$l\times b\times h$

where l is the length, b is the base and h is the height.

Volume of box =

$s^2h = 150\\\\h = \dfrac{150}{s^2}$

Area of base =

$\text{side}\times \text{side} = s^2$

Cost of concrete for the base = $4

Cost of base($) = $4s^2$

Area of roof =

$\text{side}\times \text{side} = s^2$

Cost of material for the roof = $2

Cost of roof ($) = $2s^2$

Area of 4 walls =

$4\times (sh)\\=4sh$

Cost of material for the side = $2.50

Cost of material of side($) =

$2.50\times 4s(\dfrac{150}{s^2})\\\\=\dfrac{1500}{s}$

Total cost

= Cost of base + Cost of 4 sides + Cost of roof

$C(s) = 4s^2 + \dfrac{1500}{s} + 2s^2\\\\C(s) = 6s^2 + \dfrac{1500}{s}$

is the required cost function.

A truck's gas tank holds 50 gallons of gas. if one gallon takes 30 seconds to pump, how many minutes will it take to fill the em

umka2103 [35]

To find how long it will take to fill the tank, you can use the idea that every 30 seconds will get you one gallon closer to being full.

This means to fill 50 gallons, you will need 50 groups of 30 seconds.

50 x 30 = 1500 seconds

1500/60 = 25 minutes.

It will take 25 minutes.

You could also think of it as filling 2 gallons every minute. It would take 25 of these.
