A company interested in lumbering rights for a certain tract of slash pine trees is told that the mean diameter of these trees i

s 19 inches with a standard deviation of 2.3 inches. Assume the distribution of diameters is roughly mound-shaped. (a) What fraction of the trees will have diameters between 14.4 and 25.9 inches? 0.75 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. (b) What fraction of the trees will have diameters greater than 21.3 inches?

Answer:

97.5 %

15.7 %

Step-by-step explanation:

\mu = Mean = 19

\sigma = Standard deviation = 2.3

a)

\mu+x\sigma=25.9\\\Rightarrow 19+x\times 2.3=25.9\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{25.9-19}{2.3}\\\Rightarrow x=3

\mu-x\sigma=14.4\\\Rightarrow 19-x\times 2.3=14.4\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{19-14.4}{-2.3}\\\Rightarrow x=2

From the empirical rule we get that the percentage of trees between 14.4 and 25.9 inches is 13.6+34.1+34.1+13.6+2.1 = 97.5 %

b)

\mu+x\sigma=21.3\\\Rightarrow 19+x\times 2.3=21.3\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{21.3-19}{2.3}\\\Rightarrow x=1

The fraction of tree under 21.3 inches is 34.1.

Hence the fraction of trees above the diameter of 21.3 inches is 13.6+2.1 = 15.7 %

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

( {x}^{2}  - 10x) - ( - 5 {x}^{2}  + x) \\  {x}^{2}  - 10x + 5 {x}^{2}  - x \\  \boxed{6 {x}^{2}  - 11x}

<h3>(6x²-11x) is the right answer.</h3>

The surface area of this cube is 96 square meters. what is the value of y?
ELEN [110]
The formula for finding the surface area of a cube is A=6y^2 where y is the side length. we know a=96. so we just isolate y.
96/6= 6y^2 / 6
16=y^2
sqrt (16) = sqrt(y^2)
4=y

So y is 4
