Answer:

a) 0.264

b) 48 cubit light-years

Step-by-step explanation:

For calculating a)  What is the probability of 3 or more stars in 16 cubic light years?

a)

λ= 1 star/16 cubic light-years

t= measure t in units of 16 cubic light years.

E(Y) = λ t = (1/16)(16) = 1 star

P(X>=2) = 1 - P(X<2)

= 1 - [e^-1 + (e^-1)(1)/1!]

= 0.264

b)

P(X≥1) = 1 - P(X=0)

= 1 - e^-μ

0.95 = 1 - e^-μ

e^-μ = 1 - 0.95

e^-μ = 0.05

ln(e^-μ) = ln(0.05)

-μ = -3

μ = 3

Therefore  3 x 16 = 48 cubic light years of space

Foram prescritos 500mg de dipirona para uma criança com febre.Na unidade tem disponivel ampola de 1g/2ml.Quantos g vão ser admin
Valentin [98]

De acordo com a disponibilidade da unidade, há apenas a seguinte dosagem: 1g/2mL - ou seja, uma grama de dipirona a cada 2mL

O enunciado está meio mal formulado, pois é dito que foram prescritos 500mg de dipirona e é essa quantidade de farmaco que a criança tem que tomar. Deseja-se saber quantos mL deverao ser administrados.

Fazendo a classica regra de 3, podemos chegar no volume desejado:

(atentar que 500mg = 0,5g)

     g               mL

     1    ---------   2

    0,5  ---------  X    

1 . X = 0,5 . 2

<h3>X = 1mL</h3>

One cubic meter of water weighs approximately 2200 pounds. There are 100 cm in one meter. If you have a box-shaped fish tank tha
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

158.4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the volume of the tank

V = 30 \times 30 \times 80

V = 72000 cm^3

to convert this to m^3 we know that 1m = 100cm

V = 72000 cm^3 \times \left(\dfrac{1\,\text{m}}{100\,\text{cm}}\right)^3

V = 72000 cm^3 \times \left(\dfrac{1\,\text{m}^3}{100^3\,\text{cm}^3}\right)

the cm^3 cancel out.

V = \dfrac{72000}{100^3} m^3

V = 0.072\,m^3

by simply converting the side-lengths to meters beforehand can give you this answer directly:

V = 0.3 \times 0.3 \times 0.8 = 0.072 m^3

it is given that 1 meter cube of water weighs about 2200 pounds.

1\,m^3 = 2200 \,\text{lb}

multiply both sides with 0.072 to find our answer:

1\,m^3 \times 0.072 = 2200 \times 0.072 \,\text{lb}

0.072\,m^3 = 158.4 \,\text{lb}

hence the weight of the water in the tank would be 158.4 pounds!
