9  1/3 days

Step-by-step explanation:

  • If the total change in the size of the pencil is -7/9 millimeters. Then the actual change itself is 7/9 which is a positive value.
  • If each day the pencil changes by 1/12 millimeters, how many 1/12 millimeters are there in 7/9 millimeters. This is a division query;

7/9  ÷ 1/12 = 7/9 * 12/1 = 28/3

= 9 & 1/3 days

Find the surface area of the cylinder. Round to the nearest tenth.
OleMash [197]

Hello!

To find the surface area of the given cylinder, we need to use the formula of the surface area of a cylinder.

The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is SA = 2πrh + 2πr².

In this formula, r is the radius and h is the height.

In the given diagram, we see that the height is 6 meters, and the radius 9 meters. With those values, we can substitute them into our formula and solve for the surface area.

In some cases, you are given the diameter. To find the radius, you would need to divide the diameter by two.

SA = 2π(9)(6) + 2π(9)²

SA = 54(2π)  + 2(81π)

SA = 108π + 162π

SA = 270π

SA ≈ 848.2 m²

Therefore, the surface area of the given cylinder is choice A, 848.2 m².

Solve using the quadratic formula. Show all work. Write each solution in simplest form. No decimals.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

x = -2+√3i and -2-√3i

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the general formula is expressed as;

x = -b±√b²-4ac/2a

Given the expression

x²+4x+7 = 0

a = 1, b = 4 and c = 7

Substitute

x = -4±√4²-4(1)(7)/2(1)

x  = -4±√16-28/2

x = -4±√-12/2

x = -4±√4*-3/2

x = -4±2√-3/2

x = -4±2√3i/2

x = -4+2√3i/2 and  -4-2√3/2

x = -2+√3i and -2-√3i

Tessa is cooking steak for her family. She wants to be sure the steak has an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees Fahren
Over [174]

Answer:

<u>Population : all the steaks Tessa can cook</u>

<u>Parameter : minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit</u>

<u>Sample : two random thermometer readings</u>

<u>Statistic : minimum sample reading of 165 degrees Fahrenheit</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall the definitions of these statistical concepts and match it with the information that were provided to us:

  • Populations can be the complete set of all similar items that exist, in our case, all the steaks that Tessa can cook.
  • Parameter is is a value that describes a characteristic of an entire population, such as the minimum temperature of the steaks Tessa is cooking in Fahrenheit degrees.
  • Sample is a subset of the population, in our case, the two random readings of the thermometer Tessa did.
  • Statistic is a characteristic of a sample, for our problem, it's the minimum reading of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

The number of lightning strikes in a year at the top of a particular mountain has a poisson distribution with a mean of 3.8. fin
atroni [7]

Let X be the number of lightning strikes in a year at the top of particular mountain.

X follows Poisson distribution with mean μ = 3.8

We have to find here the probability that in randomly selected year the number of lightning strikes is 0

The Poisson probability is given by,

P(X=k) = \frac{e^{-mean} mean^{x}}{x!}

Here we have X=0, mean =3.8

Hence probability that X=0 is given by

P(X=0) = \frac{e^{-3.8} 3.8^{0}}{0!}

P(X=0) = \frac{0.02237 * 1}{1}

P(X=0) = 0.0224

The probability that in a randomly selected year, the number of lightning strikes is 0 is 0.0224
