A flashlight battery manufacturer makes a model of battery whose mean shelf life is three years and four months, with a standard

deviation of three months. The distribution is approximately normal. One production run of batteries in the factory was 25,000 batteries. How many of those batteries can be expected to last between three years and one month and three years and seven months?

Answer:

17000 batteries

Step-by-step explanation:

Three years and one month is equivalent to the mean minus one standard deviation.

Three years and seven months is equivalent to the mean plus one standard deviation.

For a normal distribution, we know that 68% of population is between mean ± 1 sd, then can be expected that 25000*68% = 17000 of batteries last between three years and one month and three years and seven months

Verizon [17]

Answer:

\frac{dT}{dt} = -0.05\;min^{-1}  (T-70\ºF)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Lets call:

T = temprature of the object

T₀ = temperature of surroundings

t = time

The rate of change of T is its derivative with respecto to time. If T > T₀, the object looses heat, so T decreases. Then, being k > 0:

\frac{dT}{dt} = -k(T-T_0) \\

In this case T₀ = 70ºF and k = 0.05/min. Then the differential equation is:

\frac{dT}{dt} = -0.05\;min^{-1}  (T-70\ºF)

Answer:

4 umbrellas

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Umbrellas              Total Money

                1                                            $12                

                2                                           $24

                3                                           $36

                4                                           $48

She can't go over $48 because $48 + $12 is $60, which is more than she has ($54). So the max amount of umbrellas she can buy is 4.
