A rectangular prism has a volume of 360in^3. if the height measures 4in , which base measurements could the prism have?

1 answer:

4 0

The volume of the prism is the product of the area of its bases and the height.
V = A x h
Substituting the known values,
360 in³ = A x 4 in ; A = 90 in²
Out of all the choices given above, the dimensions of the bases that would give 90 in² as the area is letter B. 6 in by 15 in.

A sample was taken of the salaries of four employees from a large company. the following are their salaries, in thousands of dol

Free_Kalibri [48]

For given sample of salaries of four employees, the variance of their salaries is: 26 thousands of dollars

The formula for the variance is,

$S^2=\frac{\sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2}{n-1}$

where,

$S^2$ = sample variance

$x_i$ = the value of the one observation

$\bar{x}$ = the mean value of all observations

n = the number of observations

For given question,

n = 4

First we find the mean of their salaries.

(33 + 31 + 24 + 36 ) / 4 = 31

So, $\bar{x}=31$

Using the formula for variance ,

$S^2=\frac{(33-31)^2}{4-1}+\frac{(31-31)^2}{4-1}+\frac{(24-31)^2}{4-1}+\frac{(36-31)^2}{4-1}\\\\ S^2=\frac{4}{3} + \frac{0}{3} + \frac{49}{3} + \frac{25}{3} \\\\S^2= \frac{4+49+25}{3}\\\\S^2=\frac{78}{3} \\\\S^2=26$
