By cutting each corner we have that the resulting dimensions are:
27 - 2x
18 - 2x
Height = x
Therefore, the volume of the box in terms of the variable x, is given by:
V (x) = (x) * (27-2x) * (18-2x)
Answer:
The volume of the box in terms of x is:
(27-x) (18-x) x
Answer:
a) The mean is 
b) The standard deviation is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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.
The probability a student selected at random takes at least 55.50 minutes to complete the examination equals 0.6915.
This means that when X = 55.5, Z has a pvalue of 1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085. This means that when 
So




The probability a student selected at random takes no more than 71.52 minutes to complete the examination equals 0.8997.
This means that when X = 71.52, Z has a pvalue of 0.8997. This means that when 
So




Since we also have that 





Question
The mean is 
The standard deviation is 
Answer:
2y - 3x = -15
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of the line 4x + 6y = 1 is as shown below;
Rewrite in slope intercept form;
6y = -4x+1
y = -4x/6 + 1/6
y = -2x/3 + 1/6
mx = -2/3x
m = -2/3
The slope of the line perpendicular M = -1/(-2/3)
M = 3/2
Get the x and y intercept of 2x+3y = 18
x intercept occurs when y = 0
2x + 0 = 18
x= 18/2
x = 9
y intercept occurs when x = 0
0 + 3y = 18
3y= 18
y = 18/3
y = 6
The line passes through the point (9,6)
Write the equation in point slope form
y - y0 = m(x-x0)
y - 6 = 3/2(x-9)
2(y-6) = 3(x-9)
2y - 12 = 3x - 27
2y - 3x = -27 + 12
2y - 3x = -15
This gives the required equation
