Answer:

The probability that the diameter falls in the interval from 2499 psi to 2510 psi is 0.00798.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the random variable, X = "Comprehensive strength of concrete". We have information that X is normally distributed with a mean of 2500 psi and a standard deviation of  50 psi (or a variance of 2500 psi). In other words, X \sim N(2500, 2500).

We want to know the probability of the mean of X or \bar{X} that falls in the interval [2499;2510]. From inference theory we know that :

\bar{X} \sim N(2500, \frac{2500}{5}) \Rightarrow \bar{X} \sim N(2500,500)

Now we can find the probability as follows:

P(2499 \leq \bar{X} \leq 2510) \Rightarrow P(\frac{2499 - 2500}{500} \leq \frac{\bar{X} - 2500}{500} \leq \frac{2499 - 2500}{500} ) \Rightarrow\\\Rightarrow P(-0.002 \leq \frac{\bar{X} - 2500}{500} \leq 0.02 ) \Rightarrow P(-0.002 \leq Z \leq 0.02 )

Where Z \sim N(0,1), then:

P(-0.002 \leq Z \leq 0.02 ) \approx P(0 \leq Z \leq 0.02 ) = P(Z \leq 0.02 ) - P(Z \leq 0) \\P(0 \leq Z \leq 0.02 ) = 0.50798 - 0.5 = 0.00798

A local charity is selling seats to a baseball game. Seats cost $24 each, and snacks cost an additional $6
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

To raise exactly $240, the charity needs to sell 20 snacks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

s = number of seats sold

y = number of snacks sold

Seats cost $24 each, then s seats cost $24s.

Snacks cost an additional $6 each, then y snacks cost $6y.

In total, s seats and y snacks cost $(24s+6y).

The charity needs to raise $240 to consider this event a success, so

24s+6y=240

If 5 seats are sold, then

24\cdot 5+6y=240\\ \\120+6y=240\\ \\6y=240-120\\ \\6y=120\\ \\y=20

To raise exactly $240, the charity needs to sell 20 snacks.

To solve this problem graphically, plot the graph of the line 24s+6y=240 and find on this line point with s-coordinate 5. This is exactly point (5,20), so the charity needs to sell 20 snacks.

The masses mi are located at the points pi. find the moments mx and my and the center of mass of the system. m1 = 2, m2 = 5, m3
creativ13 [48]
Most graphing calculators will do weighted averages pretty easily. It is mostly a matter of data entry.

mx = -2
my = 10
(x, y) = (mx, my)/10 = (-0.2, 1)
