What percentage is 40kg of 1tonne?

1 answer:

5 0

So using the conversion of 1 metric ton to kg, we see that there are 1000 kg in 1 ton. Then we can divide 40 by 1000 to find the decimal:

$\frac{40}{1000}=0.04$

Then to convert this decimal to a percentage, we must multiply by 100%:

$0.04*100=4$

So now we know that 40 kg is 4% of 1 ton.

7.60. When Paul crossed the finish line of a 60-meter race, he was ahead of Robert by 10 meters and ahead of Sam by 20 meters. S

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The number of meters Robert will beat Sam is 12 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

When Paul crossed the finish line of a 60-meter race, he was ahead of Robert by 10 meters and ahead of Sam by 20 meters. Suppose Robert and Sam continue to race to the finish line without changing their rates of speed.

Find:

the number of meters by which Robert will beat Sam

Step 1 of 1

When Paul finishes, Robert has run 60-10=50 meters and Sam has run 60-20=40 meters.

Therefore, when Robert and Sam run for the same amount of time, Sam covers $\frac{40}{50}=\frac{4}{5}$ of the distance that Robert covers. So, while Robert runs the final 10 meters of the race, Sam runs $\frac{4}{5} \cdot 10=8$ meters.

This means Robert's lead over Sam increases by 2 more meters, and he beats Sam by 10+2=12 meters.

If line AD is a tangent to circle B at point C, and m ABC = 55°, what is the measure of BAD?

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

145°

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways you can get there:

1. ∠ACB is a right angle, 90°. Hence, ∠BAC is the complement of ∠ABC, so is ...

... ∠BAC = 90° -∠ABC = 90° -55° = 35°

Then, ∠BAC and ∠BAD are a linear pair, so total 180°. That makes ∠BAD the supplement of ∠BAC, so ...

... ∠BAD = 180° -35° = 145°

2. ∠BAD is the exterior angle at A for the triangle ABC. It will have a measure that is the sum of the opposite interior angles: given ∠ABC = 55° and right angle ACB = 90°.

... ∠BAD = 55° +90° = 145°

The circumference of the equator of a sphere was measured to be 82 82 cm with a possible error of 0.5 0.5 cm. Use linear approxi

True [87]

Answer:

The maximum error in the calculated surface area is approximately 8.3083 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference ( $s$ ), in centimeters, and the surface area ( $A_{s}$ ), in square centimeters, of a sphere are represented by following formulas:

$A_{s} = 4\pi\cdot r^{2}$ (1)

$s = 2\pi\cdot r$ (2)

Where $r$ is the radius of the sphere, in centimeters.

By applying (2) in (1), we derive this expression:

$A_{s} = 4\pi\cdot \left(\frac{s}{2\pi} \right)^{2}$

$A_{s} = \frac{s^{2}}{\pi^{2}}$ (3)

By definition of Total Differential, which is equivalent to definition of Linear Approximation in this case, we determine an expression for the maximum error in the calculated surface area ( $\Delta A_{s}$ ), in square centimeters:

$\Delta A_{s} = \frac{\partial A_{s}}{\partial s} \cdot \Delta s$

$\Delta A_{s} = \frac{2\cdot s\cdot \Delta s}{\pi^{2}}$ (4)

Where:

$s$ - Measure circumference, in centimeters.

$\Delta s$ - Possible error in circumference, in centimeters.

If we know that $s = 82\,cm$ and $\Delta s = 0.5\,cm$ , then the maximum error is:

$\Delta A_{s} \approx 8.3083\,cm^{2}$

The maximum error in the calculated surface area is approximately 8.3083 square centimeters.

The quality control manager of a chemical company randomly sampled twenty 100-pound bags of fertilizer to estimate the variance

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the variance in the pounds of impurities would be $3.829 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 14.121$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$s^2 =6.62$ represent the sample variance

s=2.573 represent the sample standard deviation

$\bar x$ represent the sample mean

n=20 the sample size

Confidence=95% or 0.95

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population mean or variance lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

The Chi square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates .

2) Calculating the confidence interval

The confidence interval for the population variance is given by the following formula:

$\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2}} \leq \sigma^2 \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2}}$

On this case the sample variance is given and for the sample deviation is just the square root of the sample variance.

The next step would be calculate the critical values. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

$df=n-1=20-1=19$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical values.

The excel commands would be: "=CHISQ.INV(0.025,19)" "=CHISQ.INV(0.975,19)". so for this case the critical values are:

$\chi^2_{\alpha/2}=32.852$

$\chi^2_{1- \alpha/2}=8.907$

And replacing into the formula for the interval we got:

$\frac{(19)(6.62)}{32.852} \leq \sigma^2 \frac{(19)(6.62)}{8.907}$

$3.829 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 14.121$

So the 95% confidence interval for the variance in the pounds of impurities would be $3.829 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 14.121$ .
