Answer:

0.1056 = 10.56% probability that the concentration exceeds 0.60

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 = 0.5, \sigma = 0.08

What is the probability that the concentration exceeds 0.60?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.6. So

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

Z = \frac{0.6 - 0.5}{0.08}

Z = 1.25

Z = 1.25 has a pvalue of 0.8944

1 - 0.8944 = 0.1056

0.1056 = 10.56% probability that the concentration exceeds 0.60

Grain is falling from a chute onto the ground, forming a conical pile whose diameter is always three times its height. how high
bezimeni [28]

Given that grain is falling from a chute onto the ground, forming a conical pile whose diameter is always three times its height.

So if D is the diameter and h is the height of the conical pile then we can write:


D=3h

We know that diameter = 2r, where r is the radius

2r=3h

r=\frac{3h}{2}

Volume of conical pile is given by formula

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

Given that volume is 1110 cubic feet.

Now plug the values of Volume and r into equation of volume

1110=\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{3h}{2})^2h

1110=\frac{1}{3}\pi\cdot\frac{9h^2}{4}\cdot h

1110=\pi\cdot\frac{3h^3}{4}

1110\cdot\frac{4}{3\pi}=h^3

471.098631552=h^3

take cube root of both sides

7.78103342467=h

Hence height is approx 7.78 feet.
