Coal is carried from a mine in West Virginia to a power plant in New York in hopper cars on a long train. The automatic hopper c

ar loader is set to put 69 tons of coal into each car. The actual weights of coal loaded into each car are normally distributed, with mean μ = 69 tons and standard deviation σ = 0.9 ton. What is the probability that one car chosen at random will have less than 68.5 tons of coal?

Answer:

0.2839 = 28.93%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find find the probability that one car chosen at random will have less than 68.5 tons of coal, we have to find z

Le x be tons of coal in a car

Z = (x – mean)/standard deviation

Z = (x – μ)/ σ

P (x<68.5) = P(z < (68.5-69)/0.9)

P (x<68.5) = P(z < -0.5555)

Then we use the z table to find the area under the curve.

P (x<68.5) = 0.2893

Tata Darka ma 20 m siatki ogrodzeniowej.Jakie wymiary w metrach,wyra¿one liczbami naturalnymi,powinien mieæ prostok¹tny warzywni
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Hence the dimensions are 5×5 i.e. 5 meters and 5 meters such that its field would be as large as possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Darek's dad has a 20 m fencing mesh.

Since we have to make a rectangular garden with he help of fencing the garden using this mesh, that means perimeter of this garden is 20 m.

i.e. 2( l+b)=20

also we have to fenced in such a way that its field would be as large as possible.

ie. it has the largest Area.

Now we will start from the dimensions possible as:

9×1 whose area will 9 m^2 (since Area=l×b)

Next dimension will be:

8×2 whose area will be 16 m^2

Next will be:

7×3 whose area will be 21 m^2

Next will be:

6×4 whose area will be 24 m^2

Next will be:

5×5 whose area will be 25 m^2

Next will be:

4×6 whose area will be same as of 6×4.

Hence, we get the maximum area to be 25 m^2 which is obtained when the dimensions are 5×5.
