Answer:

The approximate probability that 10 squared centimeters of dust contains more than 10110 particles is 0.1357

Step-by-step explanation:

For a sample of 10 sqaured centimeters of dust, the total amount of asbestos particles has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 1000/1 * 10 = 10000.

We will approximate this probability to a normal distribution. The variance is also 10000 (because it is poisson), therefore the standard deviation is √10000 = 100. Lets call X the distribution, and W its standarization, given by

W = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} = \frac{X-10000}{100}

We have

P(X>10110) = P(\frac{X-10000}{100} > \frac{10110-10000}{100}) = P(W > 1,1) = 1-\phi(1,1) = 1-0.8643 = 0.1357

Where \phi is the cummulative distribution function of a standard normal distribution. The values of \phi are well known and they can be found in the attached file.

We conclude that the approximate probability that 10 squared centimeters of dust contains more than 10110 particles is 0.1357.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

$6.08 per pound

Explanation:

30 ounce ⇒ $11.40

conversions:

  • 16 ounce ⇔ 1 pound
  • 1 ounce ⇔ 0.0625 pound

solve:

  • 0.0625(30) pound ⇒ $11.40
  • 1.875 pound ⇒ $11.40
  • 1 pound ⇒ $6.08

Find the volume of the cylinder.Either enter an exact answer in terms of \piπpi or use 3.143.143, point, 14 for \piπpi and round
AveGali [126]

complete question:

Find the volume of the cylinder.

Either enter an exact answer in terms of π or use 3.14 for π and round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.

Radius = 4 and height = 8.

Answer:

volume of a cylinder ≈ 402.30  unit cube

Step-by-step explanation:

The question you to find the volume of a cylinder with a height of 8 and radius of 4. The volume of a cylinder can be represented below

volume of a cylinder =  πr²h

where

h = height

r = radius

h = 8

r = 4

volume of a cylinder =  πr²h

volume of a cylinder =  π × 4² × 8

volume of a cylinder =  π × 16 × 8

volume of a cylinder = 128  π

volume of a cylinder =  128 × 3.143

volume of a cylinder = 402.304

volume of a cylinder ≈ 402.30  unit cube
