9. Gold miners in Alaska have found, on average, 12 ounces of gold per 1000 tons of dirt excavated with a standard deviation of

3 ounces. Assume the amount of gold found per 1000 tons of dirt is normally distributed. What is the probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated?

Answer:

9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 12, \sigma = 3

What is the probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16. So

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

Z = \frac{16 - 12}{3}

Z = 1.33

Z = 1.33 has a pvalue of 0.9082

1 - 0.9082 = 0.0918

9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated

A manufacturer produces bolts of a fabric with a fixed width. A quantity q of this fabric (measured in yards) that is sold is a
BigorU [14]

Answer:

R'(20) = 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Quantity, q

Selling price in dollars per yard, p

q=f(p)

Total revenue earned =

R(p)=pf(p)

f(20)=13000

This means that 13000 yards of fabric is sold when the selling price is 20 dollars per yard.

f′(20)=−550

This means that increasing the selling price by 1 dollar per yards there is a decrease in fabric sales by 550.

We have to find R'(20)

Differentiating the above expression, we have,

R'(p) = \displaystyle\frac{d(R(p))}{dp} = \frac{d(pf(p))}{dp} = f(p) + pf'(p)

Putting the values, we get,

R'(p) = f(p) + pf'(p)\\\\R'(20) = f(20) + 20(f'(20))\\\\R'(20) = 13000 + 20(-550) = 2000

<h3>Answer: The sum of a+b+c+d is equal to 220</h3>

-------------

How I got this answer:

a+b+e = 180

c+d+f = 180

angles 'e' and 'f' are marked in the attached drawing below (see figure 1)

Add the two equations to get

(a+b+e)+(c+d+f) = 180+180

a+b+e+c+d+f = 180+180

a+b+e+c+d+f = 360

(a+b+c+d)+(e+f) = 360

(a+b+c+d)+(140) = 360 substutition (see below)

a+b+c+d = 360-140

a+b+c+d = 220

==========================================

3b)

The angles of the triangles add to 180 degrees each. The three angles e, f, and 40 add to 180 as well as they form a straight angle, so e+f+40 = 180 leading to e+f = 180-40 = 140. This will help us with the substitution rule I marked above

So the idea is you add up all the angles, and then take away the angles we don't want (e and f) so we end up with the sum of a+b+c+d

==========================================

<h3>Answer: 290</h3>

---------------------

Explanation:

Check out the attached image figure 2.

Angle DAE is given to be 30 degrees. Angle ADC is also equal to 30 because they are alternate interior angles.

Angle DCB is 40 degrees. The missing angle x of the triangle DCB is unknown for now, but we can solve for x

x+40+30 = 180

x+70 = 180

x = 180-70

x = 110

Therefore the purple angle marked in that diagram is 180-x = 180-110 = 70

The reflex angle to the 70 degree angle is 360-70 = 290

which is the shaded angle we want to determine

Use your shapes to create a new shape with an area of 1 square unit that is not a square. Trace your shape.
Elena-2011 [213]

A new shape with an area of 1 square unit that is not a square can be formed by combining two small triangles

<h3>How to determine the new shape?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Area of square = 1 square unit
  • Large triangles = 2
  • Medium triangles = 1
  • Small triangles = 4

The area of each small triangle is:

Area = 0.5 square unit

Multiply both sides by 2

2 * Area of triangle = 1 square unit

Substitute Area of square = 1 square unit

2 * Area of triangle = Area of square

This means that a new shape can be formed by combining two small triangles
