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 %

Find the volume of each ball. use the formula. where v is the volume and r is the radius. record the volume in table A of your s
pochemuha

Answer:

The volume of tennis ball = 38.808 cm^{3}.

                          Volume of golf ball = 33.523 cm^{3}.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The radius of the tennis ball is 2.1cm and the radius of thr golf ball is 2.0cm. the formula is V=4πr(to the 3rd power) /3 .

To find: Volume of tennis ball and golf ball .

Formula used: Volume = \frac{4 π r^{3} }{3} .

 pi(π) = \frac{22}{7} .

Explanation : We are given that

                     Radius of the tennis ball = 2.1 cm

                    radius  of the golf ball =2.0 cm.

We need to find the volume of each ball

So , plugging the given values of radius in above formula

Volume of the tennis =\frac{4*22(2.1)^{3} }{3*7}

On simplification we get, volume of tennis ball = 38.808 cm^{3}

Volume of the golf ball=\frac{4*22(2.0)^{3} }{3*7}

On simplification we get, volume of golf ball = 33.523 cm^{3}

Therefore , The volume of tennis ball = 38.808 cm^{3}.

                          Volume of golf ball = 33.523 cm^{3}.

Answer:

x = 2, y = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = 3

x  -   y  = 3

Adding the 2 equations eliminates y:

3x = 6

x = 2.

Substitute for x in the first equation:

2(2) + y = 3

y = 3 - 4

y = -1.

Check the results by substitution in equation 2:

2 - (-1)

= 2 + 1 = 3 .

Checks OK.
