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 %

The area of a quarter’s face is 4.64 cm2. The amount of space that it occupies is 0.60 cm3. Approximately how thick is a quarter
Greeley [361]
A quarter resembles a 3D figure of a cylinder. The face is the area of the base of the cylinder and the space it occupies is the volume of the cylinder. We need to find out the height of the cylinder.

Volume = Area of base•height
Volume/Area of base=height
0.60/4.64=0.12931
Round to the nearest hundred
height=0.13 cm

I’m stuck... any one able to help?<br> X^4 + 5x^3 + 3x/x
Leni [432]

Answer:

x^3+5x^2+3x

Step-by-step explanation:

1) divide each term in the numerator by the term in denominator:

(remember when dividing subtract the smaller exponent from larger exponent

for example: \frac{x^a}{x^b} say a is the larger exponent, do x^a^-^b

x^4/x=x^3

5x^3/x=5x^2

3x^2/x=3x

so

x^3+5x^2+3x

hope this helps!
