Answer:

option C 13.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

As the heights of adults is normally distributed with mean=69 and standard deviation=2.5 so, the percent of men that are between 64 and 66.5 inches tall can be calculated as

P(64<X<66.5)=P[ (64-69)/2.5<(X-μ)/σ<(66.5-69)/2.5]

P(64<X<66.5)=P(-2<Z<-1)

P(64<X<66.5)=P(-2<Z<0)-P(-1<Z<0)

P(64<X<66.5)=0.4772-0.3413=0.1359

Thus, the percent of men are between 64 and 66.5 inches tall is 13.59%.

If we round the resultant quantity then it will be rounded to 13.6% but considering the given options, option C is most appropriate.

A 10 2/3 inch long pipe is cut into 8 equal length pieces, how long is each piece

storchak [24]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{3}$ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of pipe is 10 2/3rd inches

It is cut into 8 equal pieces

We need to divide total length by 8 to get length of each piece. First, we have to convert mixed number (total length) to improper fraction by using formula shown below:

$a\frac{b}{c}=\frac{(a*c)+b}{c}$

So,

$10\frac{2}{3}=\frac{32}{3}$

Each piece length is:

$\frac{\frac{32}{3}}{8}\\=\frac{32}{3}*\frac{1}{8}\\=\frac{32}{24}\\=\frac{4}{3}$

So, each piece is $\frac{4}{3}$ inches

Find all points on the portion of the plane x+y+z=5 in the first octant at which f(x, y, z) = xy2z2 has a maximum value.

irina1246 [14]

Lagrange multipliers:

$L(x,y,z,\lambda)=xy^2z^2+\lambda(x+y+z-5)$

$L_x=y^2z^2+\lambda=0$
$L_y=2xyz^2+\lambda=0$
$L_z=2xy^2z+\lambda=0$
$L_\lambda=x+y+z-5=0$

$\lambda=-y^2z^2=-2xyz^2=-2xy^2z$

$-y^2z^2=-2xyz^2\implies y=2x$ (if $y,z\neq0$ )

$-y^2z^2=-2xy^2z\implies z=2x$ (if $y,z\neq0$ )

$-2xyz^2=-2xy^2z\implies z=y$ (if $x,y,z\neq0$ )

In the first octant, we assume $x,y,z>0$ , so we can ignore the caveats above. Now,

$x+y+z=5\iff x+2x+2x=5x=5\implies x=1\implies y=z=2$

so that the only critical point in the region of interest is (1, 2, 2), for which we get a maximum value of $f(1,2,2)=16$ .

We also need to check the boundary of the region, i.e. the intersection of $x+y+z=5$ with the three coordinate axes. But in each case, we would end up setting at least one of the variables to 0, which would force $f(x,y,z)=0$ , so the point we found is the only extremum.

The triangle on the left appears to be congruent with the triangle on the right. If this observation is actually valid, then x+7 = 2x-5. 12=x Yes, I realize that this doesn't match any of the answer choices, 'tho the 4th choice is the only one that contains "12." Would you please share the instructions for this problem.
