After the consumption of an alcoholic beverage, the concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream (blood alcohol concentration, or

BAC) surges as the alcohol is absorbed, followed by a gradual decline as the alcohol is metabolized. The function C(t) = 1.35te−2.802t † models the average BAC, measured in mg/mL, of a group of eight male subjects t hours after rapid consumption of 15 mL of ethanol (corresponding to one alcoholic drink). What is the maximum average BAC during the first 6 hours? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:

  about 0.177 mg/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum is found where the derivative of C(t) is zero.

  dC/dt = 1.35e^(-2.802t) -(1.35t)2.802e^(-2.802t) = 0

Solving for t gives ...

  t = 1/2.802

So, the maximum C(t) is ...

  C(1/2.802) = 1.35/2.802e^(-1) ≈ 0.177 . . . . . mg/mL

The maximum average BAC during the first 6 hours is about 0.177 mg/mL.

_____

The maximum occurs about 21 minutes 25 seconds after consumption.

The length of a rectangle is 5 m less than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 52 m^2. Find the dimensions of the
lys-0071 [83]

length is 8m

Width is 6.5m

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let, width = b

So, length = 2b-5

area = 52m^{2}

We know,

area of rectangle = length X width

So, 52m^{2} = (2b-5) X b

On solving the above equation, we get

Width, b = 6.5m

length, l = 8m

Ellis is painting wooden fenceposts before putting them in his yard. They are each 5 feet tall and have a diameter of 1 foot. Th
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

39.25 cubic feet of paint will be needed by Ellis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder:

The volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is given by:

V = \pi r^2h = 3.14r^2h

How much paint will Ellis need to paint all the surfaces of the 10 fenceposts?

This is the combined volume of these 10 fenceposts.

They are each 5 feet tall and have a diameter of 1 foot.

Radius is half the diameter, so r = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5. Also h = 5

10 fenceposts:

Each has the same volume, so:

V = 10(3.14)r^2h = 31.4(0.5)^2(5) = 39.25

39.25 cubic feet of paint will be needed by Ellis.

Duck #1 lays eggs whose weights are normally distributed with a mean of 70gramsand a standard deviation of 6 grams.Duck #2 lays
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

26.11% probability that Duck #2’s egg weighs more than Duck #1’s egg

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

If an egg is randomly chosen from each duck, what is the probability that Duck #2’s egg weighs more than Duck #1’s egg?

Duck #2 egg will weigh more if the subtraction of duck's 2 egg by duck's 1 egg is larger than 0.

When we subtract normal distributions, the mean is the subtraction of the means. So

\mu = 65 - 70 = -5

The standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances. So

\sigma = \sqrt{6^2+5^2} = \sqrt{61} = 7.81

Now, we have to find 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0. So

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

Z = \frac{0 - (-5)}{7.81}

Z = 0.64

Z = 0.64 has a pvalue of 0.7389

1 - 0.7389 = 0.2611

26.11% probability that Duck #2’s egg weighs more than Duck #1’s egg
