A.) Since there are no restrictions as to the dimensions of the candle except that their volumes must equal 1 cubic foot and that each must be a cylinder, we have the freedom to decide the candles' dimensions. 

I decided to have the candles equal in volume. So, 1 cubic foot divided by 8 gives us 0.125 cubic foot, 216 in cubic inches.

With each candle having a volume of 216 cubic inches, I assign a radius to each: 0.5 in, 1.0 in, 1.5 in, 2.0 in, 2.5 in, 3.0 in, 3.5 in, and 4.0 in. Then, using the formula of the volume of a cylinder, which is:

V=pi(r^2)(h)

we then solve the corresponding height per candle. Let us let the value of pi be 3.14.

Hence, we will have the following heights (expressed to the nearest hundredths) for each of the radius: for 

r=2.5 in: h=11.01 in
r=3.0 in: h= 7.64 in
r=3.5 in: h= 5.62 in
r=4.0 in: h= 4.30 in
r=4.5 in: h= 3.40 in
r=5.0 in: h= 2.75 in
r=5.5 in: h= 2.27 in
r=6.0 in: h= 1.91 in

b. each candle should sell for $15.00 each

($20+$100)/8=$15.00

c. yes, because the candles are priced according to the volume of wax used to make them, which in this case, is just the same for all sizes

1- The Canada Urban Transit Association has reported that the average revenue per passenger trip during a given year was $1.55.
serg [7]

Answer:

0.5

0.9545

0.68268

0.4986501

Step-by-step explanation:

The Canada Urban Transit Association has reported that the average revenue per passenger trip during a given year was $1.55. If we assume a normal distribution and a standard deviation of 5 $0.20, what proportion of passenger trips produced a revenue of Source: American Public Transit Association, APTA 2009 Transit Fact Book, p. 35.

a. less than $1.55?

b. between $1.15 and $1.95? c. between $1.35 and $1.75? d. between $0.95 and $1.55?

Given that :

Mean (m) = 1.55

Standard deviation (s) = 0.20

a. less than $1.55?

P(x < 1.55)

USing the relation to obtain the standardized score (Z) :

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (1.55 - 1.55) / 0.20 = 0

p(Z < 0) = 0.5 ( Z probability calculator)

b. between $1.15 and $1.95?

P(x < 1.15)

USing the relation to obtain the standardized score (Z) :

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (1.15 - 1.55) / 0.20 = - 2

p(Z < - 2) = 0.02275 ( Z probability calculator)

P(x < 1.95)

USing the relation to obtain the standardized score (Z) :

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (1.95 - 1.55) / 0.20 = 2

p(Z < - 2) = 0.97725 ( Z probability calculator)

0.97725 - 0.02275 = 0.9545

c. between $1.35 and $1.75?

P(x < 1.35)

USing the relation to obtain the standardized score (Z) :

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (1.35 - 1.55) / 0.20 = - 1

p(Z < - 2) = 0.15866 ( Z probability calculator)

P(x < 1.75)

USing the relation to obtain the standardized score (Z) :

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (1.75 - 1.55) / 0.20 = 1

p(Z < - 2) = 0.84134 ( Z probability calculator)

0.84134 - 0.15866 = 0.68268

d. between $0.95 and $1.55?

P(x < 0.95)

USing the relation to obtain the standardized score (Z) :

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (0.95 - 1.55) / 0.20 = - 3

p(Z < - 3) = 0.0013499 ( Z probability calculator)

P(x < 1.55)

USing the relation to obtain the standardized score (Z) :

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (1.55 - 1.55) / 0.20 = 0

p(Z < 0) = 0.5 ( Z probability calculator)

0.5 - 0.0013499 = 0.4986501

In which set does -15/3
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Rational numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio. That means it can be written as a fraction, in which both the numerator (the number on top) and the denominator (the number on the bottom) are whole numbers. The number 8 is a rational number because it can be written as the fraction 8/1.

HELP ME IM STUCK ANSWER IT QUICK
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

red = 28 apples

green = 13 apples

equations:

r + g = 41

r = g + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

r = number of red

g = number of green

r = g + 15 (the number of red apples is 15 more than the number of green apples)

r + g = 41

Substitute the firs equation into the second and solve for a numerical value of g

(g + 15) + g = 41

2g + 15 = 41

2g = 26

g = 13

Now solve for a numerical value of r

r = g + 15

r = 13 + 15

r = 28

checking the math:

r + g = 41

28 + 13 = 41

Please lmk if you have any questions.
