Answer:

700 lbs and 3.742

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that raw materials are studied for contamination. Suppose that the number of particles of contamination per pound of material is a Poisson random variable with a mean of 0.02 particle per pound.

a) To get 14 particles of contamination we must have

expected number of pounds = \frac{14}{0.02} \\=700

b) Since for 700 pounds particles expected are 14 we can say in  a Poisson distribution mean and variance are equal

i.e. Var (700 lbs to obtain 14 particles of contamination ) = 14

Std deviation =\sqrt{14} =3.742

Melissa is stacking storage cubes in a crate the bottom of the crate is 8 inches by 12 inches. The volume of the crate is 768 cu
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

12 cubes can fit in the create.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the volume of a the crate is 768 in³, and the definition of the volume is:

V=A*h

Where:

  • V is the volume
  • A is the area (A=8*12 in²)
  • h is the height

So h=\frac{V}{A}=\frac{768}{12*8}=8 in    

Now, we know that the storage cube has a length of 4 in so we have a volume equal to 64 in³. Therefore we just need to divide 768 in³ by 64 in³ it is 12.

Finally, 12 cubes can fit in the create.

I hope it helps you!

Are these figures are similar? If so, what is the scale factor?
tester [92]

Answer:

Yes, the scale factor is 0.6 repeating, or 0.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

You find the scale factor by dividing the smaller sides by the corresponding larger ones.

12/18 = 0.6 repeating

14/21 = 0.6 repeating

16/24 = 0.6 repeating

These triangles could be similar by SSS or SAS or ASA I think since congruent angles are shown in both triangles as well.

Use the remainder theorem to find the remainder of 2x^4 + x^2 - 10x -1 divided by x +2.
Svetllana [295]

Remainder Theorem says that if there is any Polynomial equation P(x), which is to be divided by (x - a) then remainder can be calculated by substituting value of a in equation P(x).  

2x^{4} +x^{2}-10x-1 = P(x)   divided by   (x+2)

Step 1: Find a

To find a we will have to convert (x+2) into (x - a) form

i.e.  (x+2) = (x - (-2))

therefore, a = -2

Step 2: Substitute value of a in P(x),

By substitution we get,

2(-2)^{4}+(-2)^{2}-10(-2)-1

= 2(16) + 4 +20 -1

= 32 +4 + 20 - 1

= 55 = Remainder

Hence, Remainder is 55.
