We are given time in minutes.

According to given table, we are given times 0 minute, 10 minutes and 15 minutes.

And depths are given 3, 5 and 6.

Times represents x coordinates and depths represents y-coordinates.

First we need to find the depth of the tank in per unit time( in a minute).

In order to find the depth of the tank in per unit time, we need to find th slope between two coordinates.

Let us take first two coordinate made using table (0,3) (10,5)

We know, slope formula

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Plugging values in slope formula, we get

m= $\frac{5-3}{10-0}=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}$

We got slope m= 1/5=0.2.

We can say that depth of the tank is increasing by rate 0.2 per minute.

From the given table, we can see that for x=0, y value is 3.

Therefore, y-intercept is 3.

Let us write an equation of the line for given table in slope-intercept form y=mx+b.

Plugging values of m and b in slope-intercept form, we get

y= 0.2x+3.

We need to find the depth after 1/2 hours.

1 hour = 60 minutes,

Therefore, 1/2 hours = 60/2 = 30 minutes.

Plugging value of x=30 in above slope-intercept form of the equation, we get

y= 0.2(30)+3.

y= 3+6 = 9.

y=9

Therefore, the depth of the oil 1/2 hour after filling begins is 9 units.

yawa3891 [41]

Based on the information provided, it follows that there are 1,728 possible seating arrangements.

<h3>How can we find the number of possible arrangements?</h3>

To find the number of arrangements in this problem situation we must take into account the following key factors:

Chris only has 1 possible seat.
Jo has 2 possible seats.
Dave, Alex, and Barb have 3 possible seats.
Gareth, Fred, and Eddie have 3 possible seats.
There are 4 other adults who do not have a preference in seats but have the possibility of using 4 seats.

According to the above, we must use the factorization of these numbers to find out the number of possibilities we have to seat them.

<h3>What is factoring?</h3>

A factorial function is a mathematical tool that is characterized by using the exclamation mark “!” behind a number. The factorial function is used to express that the number accompanied by the symbol must be multiplied by all positive integers between that number and 1.

In accordance with the above, in the problem situation that we must solve, we must use the factorial function with the possibilities of:

Dave, Alex and Barb: 3! = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6
Gareth, Fred and Eddie: 3! = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6
Other 4 adults: 4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24

Subsequently, to calculate the number of total possibilities of the entire group we must multiply the possibilities of each group and individual as shown below:

Number of possibilities = 1 × 2 × 6 × 6 × 24
Number of possibilities = 1728

Answer:

0.0838 = 8.38% probability of obtaining a sample proportion less than 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

Proportion of 0.6

This means that $p = 0.6$

Sample of 46

This means that $n = 46$

Mean and standard deviation:

$\mu = p = 0.6$

$s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.6*0.4}{46}} = 0.0722$

Probability of obtaining a sample proportion less than 0.5.

p-value of Z when X = 0.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{0.5 - 0.6}{0.0722}$

$Z = -1.38$

$Z = -1.38$ has a p-value of 0.0838

0.0838 = 8.38% probability of obtaining a sample proportion less than 0.5.

The volume of a single layer in a rectangular prism is 18 cubic centimeters. There are 5 layers in this rectangular prism. What

sweet [91]

Answer: $90cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular prism is a three-dimensional solid.

A rectangular prism has six faces (each one of these faces are rectangles), eight vertices and twelve edges.

You know that this rectangular prism has 5 layers and the volume of one of these layers is 18 cubic centimeters ( $18cm^3$ ).

Assuming that all these layers are equal, the volume of this rectangular prism can be calculated with:

$V_{prism}=5*V_1$

Where $V_1$ is the volume of one layer.

Substituting, you get:

$V_{prism}=(5)(18cm^3)\\\\V_{prism}=90cm^3$
