Answer:

Range of values containing 70% of the population of x is [-7.1364 , 7.1364 ]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a large population of variable x is characterized by its known mean value of 6.1 units and a standard deviation of 1.0 units and a normal distribution.

Since, X ~ N(\mu=6.1 ,\sigma^{2}= 1.0^{2})

The z score probability distribution is given by;

             Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

As we are given that we have to find the range of values containing 70% of the population of x, which means we will use 30% are on either side of the mean, i.e.;

 P(X < x) = 0.30

 P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{x-6.1}{1} ) = 0.30

 P(Z < x-6.1) = 0.30

Now, in z normal table, the critical value of x having area less than 30% is 1.0364 . i.e;

              x - 6.1 = 1.0364

               x = 7.1364

So, the range of values containing 70% of the population of x is [-7.1364 , 7.1364 ] .

Answer:

-6.134 to +6.134

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a large population of variable x is characterized by its known mean value of 6.1 units and a standard deviation of 1.0 units and a normal distribution

X is Normal with mean  =6.1 and std dev = 1 unit

We are to determine the range of values containing 70% of the population of x

We know that normal distribution curve is bell shaped symmetrical about the mean.

So to find 70% range we can use 35% on either side of the mean

Using std normal distribution table the value of z for which probability from 0 to z is 0.35 is 1.034

Hence corresponding x value is

x=6.1+1.034*1\\x=6.134

i.e. 70% values lie between

-6.134 to +6.134

Solve for x. 3/4 = x/12 <br> I need work shown to
marta [7]

\frac{3}{4} = \frac{x}{12}

To solve for x you have to bring the 12 to the other side

How  do we do this?

Well if you think about it this is technically what the equation shows

\frac{3}{4} = x * \frac{1}{12}

This means to isolate x you can multiply both sides by 12 and that will cancel \frac{1}{12} from the right side

\frac{3}{4} * 12 = x * \frac{1}{12} * 12

\frac{36}{4} = x * 1\\\frac{36}{4}  = x

\frac{36}{4} can be further simplified to...

^^^This is the answer

Check:

3/4 = 9/12

3/4 = 3/4

Hope this helped!

A grain silo has a circular base with an area of 260 square feet and is 21 feet tall What is the total volume?​
Leya [2.2K]

The correct answer is 5460 cubic feet or 5460 ft^{3}

Explanation:

The silo has a cylindrical shape, in this context, the volume of the silo or any other cylinder can be calculated by using the formula Volume =\pi r^{2} h. In this formula the symbol \pi refers to the number 3.1415..., the letter r refers to the radius of the base and the letter h refers to the height.

Moreover, in this case, it is known the heigh (21 feet) and the area of the base (260 square feet). Additionally, this area of the base is the result of the formula Area = \pi r^{2}, which is exactly the first section of the formula to find the volume. This implies that by multiplying the area of the base by the height the volume is known. Here is the process:

Volume = \pi r^{2} h  or  Volume = Ah   (Area of the base × height)

V = 260 square feet × 21 feet

V = 5460 cubic feet

For the figures below, assume they are made of semicircles, quarter circles and squares. For each shape, find the area and perim
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Part a) The area of the figure is \frac{9}{2}(4+\pi )\ cm^{2}

Part b) The perimeter of the figure is 3(2+2\sqrt{2}+ \pi)\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the area of the figure

In this problem we have that

The figure ABC is the half of a square and the other figure is a semicircle

<u>Find the area of the figure ABC</u>

we have

AB=6\ cm, BC=6\ cm

The area of the half square ABC is equal to find the area of triangle ABC

so

A1=\frac{1}{2}*6*6=18\ cm^{2}

<u>Find the area of the semicircle</u>

The area of the semicircle is equal to

A2=\pi r^{2}/2

we have that

r=6/2=3\ cm

substitute

A2=\pi (3)^{2}/2

A2=(9/2) \pi\ cm^{2}

The area of the figure is equal to

18\ cm^{2}+(9/2) \pi\ cm^{2}= \frac{9}{2}(4+\pi )\ cm^{2}

Step 2

Find the perimeter of the figure

The perimeter of the figure is equal to

P=AB+AC+length\ CB

we have

AB=6\ cm

Applying Pythagoras theorem

AC=\sqrt{6^{2}+6^{2}}\\AC=6\sqrt{2}\ cm

Remember that

the circumference of a semicircle is equal to

C=\frac{1}{2}2\pi r=\pi r

r=6/2=3\ cm

C=\pi(3)

C=3 \pi\ cm

The perimeter of the figure is equal to

P=6\ cm+6\sqrt{2}\ cm+3 \pi\ cm

Simplify

P=3(2+2\sqrt{2}+ \pi)\ cm

Is 9.68 8 repeating irrational or rational
CaHeK987 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

number x = 9.688888 is a rational number. This is because when you take x = 9.6888 and multiply 10 from x 10x = 96.888. So on and so forth.

Yes
