Answer:
Length of sides of poster = 2 Ft
Length of sides of box = 2.41 Ft
Since the box has a longer side than the poster, the poster will lie flat when placed in the box.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to determine if the poster will lie flat in the box or not, we will determine the length of the sides of the poster and the box, if the length of the side of the square poster is smaller than that of the box, it will lie flat. This is calculated as follows:
Area of poster = 4 square feet
Area of poster = (Length)²
4 = (Length)²
∴ Length = √(4)
Length of poster = 2 Ft
Volume of box = 14 cubic feet
Volume of box = (Length)³
14 = (Length)³
∴ Length = ∛(14)
Length = 2.41 Ft
∴ Length of sides of poster = 2 Ft
Length of sides of box = 2.41 Ft
Since the box has a longer side than the poster, the poster will lie flat when placed in the box.
Z = (X-Mean)/SD
<span>z1 = (165 - 150)/15 = +1 </span>
<span>z2 = (135 - 150)/15 = - 1 </span>
<span>According to the Empirical Rule 68-95-99.7 </span>
<span>Mean +/- 1SD covers 68% of the values </span>
<span>100% - 68% = 32% </span>
<span>The remaining 32% is equally distributed below z = - 1 and z = +1 </span>
<span>32%/2 = 16%
</span>
<span>Therefore,
</span>
<span>a) Number of men weighing more than 165 pounds = 16% of 1000 = 160 </span>
<span>b) Number of men weighing less than 135 pounds = 16% of 1000 = 160</span>
