uppose the weights of Farmer Carl's potatoes are normally distributed with a mean of 9 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.8 ou

nces. (a) Carl only wants to sell the best potatoes to his friends and neighbors at the farmer's market. According to weight, this means he wants to sell only those potatoes that are among the heaviest 25%. What is the minimum weight required to be brought to the farmer's market?

Answer:

x= 9.53 ounces

Explanation:

Given that

Mean ,μ= 9 ounces

Standard deviation ,σ=0.8 ounces

He wants to sell only those potatoes that are among the heaviest 25%.

P=25% = 0.25

When P= 0.25 then Z=0.674

Lest take x is the the minimum weight required to be brought to the farmer's market.

We know that

x = Z . σ + μ

x= 0.674 ₓ 0.8 + 9 ounces

x= 9.53 ounces

A driver averaged 64 mph and took 3½ hours to travel from st. Louis to chicago. Based on this, what is the distance between st.
sammy [17]

Average speed of the driver is given as

v = 64 mph

if he moved for total time t = 3.5 hours

so the distance between the tow is given as

d = v* t

d = 64 * 3.5

d = 224 miles

so the distance between St. Louis and Chicago is 224 miles

A closed system’s internal energy changes by 178 J as a result of being heated with 658 J of energy. The energy used to do work
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

480J

Explanation:

Using the formula:

Delta U = Q - W

Q:Heat (J)

Delta U: Changes in internal Energy (J)

W:Work (J)

We can plug in the give numbers, Q and W.

Delta U = 658J - 178J = 480J

In your research lab, a very thin, flat piece of glass with refractive index 1.50 and uniform thickness covers the opening of a
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The longest wavelength in vacuum for which there is constructive interference for the reflected light, λ   = 3472.

Explanation:

Refractive index of Glass (given) = 1.5

For the case of a constructive interference,

2nt = (m + 1/2) λ

For case 1,

2nt = (m + 1/2) 496 nm

For case 2,

2nt = (m +1+ 1/2) 386 nm

2nt = (m+3/2) * 386 nm

(m + 1/2) 496 nm = (m+3/2) * 386 nm

m = 3

Inserting the value of m in 1.

2nt = (m + 1/2) 496 nm

2*1.5t = (3 + 1/2) * 496 nm

t = ((3 + 1/2) * 496 nm)/ 3

t = 578.6 nm

The thickness of the glass, t = 578.6 nm

b)

It is generally known that for constructive interference,

2nt = (m + 1/2) λ

λ = 2nt / ((m + 1/2))

For Longest Wavelength, m = 0

λ = 2*1.5*578.6/ (1/2)

λ = 3472 nm

How do gamma rays use electromagnetic waves to function....PLS HELP
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Gamma-rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions.

Explanation:

Gamma-rays can kill living cells, a fact which medicine uses to its advantage, using gamma-rays to kill cancerous cells.

Hope this helps!
