Suppose that diameters of a new species of apple have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 7.2cm and a standard deviation o

f 0.38cm. Using the empirical rule, what percentage of the apples have diameters that are no more than 7.96cm

Answer:

97.5%

Explanation:

By the empirical rule (68-95-99.7),

  1. 68% of data are within <em>μ </em>- <em>σ</em> and <em>μ </em>+ <em>σ</em>
  2. 95% of data are within <em>μ </em>- 2<em>σ</em> and <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>
  3. 99.7% of data are within <em>μ </em>- 3<em>σ</em> and <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>

<em>σ </em> and <em>μ</em> are the standard deviation and the mean respectively.

From the question,

<em>μ</em> = 7.2 cm

<em>σ</em> = 0.38 cm

7.96 = 7.2 + (<em>n</em> × 0.38)

<em>n</em> = 2

Hence, 7.96 represents <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>.

P(X < <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>) = P(X < <em>μ</em>) + P(<em>μ</em> < X < <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>)

P(X < <em>μ</em>) is the percentage less than the mean = 50%.

P(<em>μ</em> < X < <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>) is half of P(<em>μ </em>- 2<em>σ</em> < X < <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>) = 95% ÷ 2 = 47.5%.

Considering this, for apples that are no more than 7.96 cm,

P(X < 7.96) = P(X < 7.2) + P(7.2 < X < 7.96) = 50% + 47.5% = 97.5%

What would be the answer for this and how?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

B. 6 cm

Explanation:

First, we calculate the spring constant of a single spring:

k = \frac{F}{\Delta x}\\

where,

k = spring constant of single spring = ?

F = Force Applied = 10 N

Δx = extension = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Therefore,

k = \frac{10\ N}{0.04\ m}\\k =  250\ N/m\\

Now, the equivalent resistance of two springs connected in parallel, as shown in the diagram, will be:

k_{eq} = k + k\\k_{eq} = 2k = 2(250\ N/m)\\k_{eq} = 500\ N/m\\

For a load of 30 N, applying Hooke's Law:

\Delta x = \frac{F}{k_{eq}}\\\\\Delta x = \frac{30\ N}{500\ N/m}\\\\\Delta x = 0.06\ m = 6\ cm\\

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>B. 6 cm</u>

What does it mean to say that some elements are reactive and form ions easily whereas others do not?
butalik [34]

Answer:

Some elements are reactive because the outermost energy levels of their atoms are only partially filled. Therefore, these atoms can easily gain or lose electrons to form ions. The atoms of nonreactive elements have filled outermost energy levels

A 103 kg horizontal platform is a uniform disk of radius 1.71 m and can rotate about the vertical axis through its center. A 68.
Andreyy89

Answer:

I_{total}=220.64 kg*m^{2}

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of the system is equal to the each population and the platform inertia so

Inertia disk

I_{disk}=\frac{1}{2}*m_{disk}*(r_{p})^{2}

Inertia person

I_{p}=\frac{1}{2}*m_{p}*(r_{p})^{2}

Inertia dog

I_{d}=\frac{1}{2}*m_{d}*(r_{d})^{2}

The Inertia of the system is the sum of each mass taking into account that all exert the force of inertia:

I_{total}=I_{disk}+I_{p}+I_{d}

I_{total}=\frac{1}{2}*103kg*(1.71)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}*68.9kg*(1.09)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}*27.7kg*(1.45)^{2}

I_{total}=220.64 kg*m^{2}
