The population of lengths of aluminum-coated steel sheets is normally distributed with a mean of 30.05 inches and a standard dev

iation of 0.2 inches. What is the probability that a sheet selected at random will be less than 29.75 inches long

Answer:

6.68% or 0.0668

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean sheet length (μ) = 30.05 inches

Standard deviation (σ) = 0.2 inches

In a normal distribution, for any length X, the z-score is determined by the following expression:

$z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

For X = 29.75, the z-score is:

$z=\frac{29.75-30.05}{0.2}\\z=-1.5$

A z-score of -1.5 corresponds to the 6.68th percentile of a normal distribution.

Therefore, the probability that a sheet selected at random will be less than 29.75 inches long is 6.68%.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

$surface \: a = 9 \times 5 \\ = 45ft \times 2 \\ = {90}^{2} ft\\ surface \: b = \frac{1}{2} bh \\ = \frac{1}{2 } \times 6 \times 4 \\ = 3 \times 4 \\ = 12 \times 2 \\ = {144}^{2} ft \\ = 90 + 144 \\ = {234}^{2} ft$

Please help me anyone i need this in 10 minutes

Radda [10]

Given:

The rate of interest on three accounts are 7%, 8%, 9%.

She has twice as much money invested at 8% as she does in 7%.

She has three times as much at 9% as she has at 7%.

Total interest for the year is $150.

To find:

Amount invested on each rate.

Solution:

Let x be the amount invested at 7%. Then,

The amount invested at 8% = 2x

The amount invested at 9% = 3x

Total interest for the year is $150.

$x\times \dfrac{7}{100}+2x\times \dfrac{8}{100}+3x\times \dfrac{9}{100}=150$

Multiply both sides by 100.

$7x+16x+27x=15000$

$50x=15000$

Divide both sides by 50.

$x=\dfrac{15000}{50}$

$x=300$

The amount invested at 7% is $300$ .

The amount invested at 8% is

$2(300)=600$

The amount invested at 9% is

$3(300)=900$

Therefore, the stockbroker invested $300 at 7%, $600 at 8%, and $900 at 9%.

I need help with this stuff and i need the answers step by step thank you!!

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

2. A

3. C

4. B

Step-by-step explanation:

2. To answer # 2, just add all the sides together...

(5x-7) + (3x-4) + (2x-6)

= 10x - 17

3. To answer # 3, divide/mulitply both the numerators and denominators by the same number and check to see if that answer matches the displayed answer...

a) 28 divided by 7 is 4, so divide the whole fraction by 7 to see if the fraction is proportional...

28/7 = 4

49/7 = 7

$\frac{4}{7} =\frac{4}{7}$

b) 4 goes into 16 4 times so multiply $\frac{4}{7}$ by 4...

4 x 4 = 16

7 x 4 = 28

$\frac{16}{28}$ = $\frac{16}{28}$

c) 4 goes into 16 4 times so multiply the whole fraction by 4...

4 x 4 = 16

7 x 4 = 28

$\frac{16}{28}$ ≠ $\frac{16}{35}$

d) 4 goes into 20 5 times to multiply the whole fraction by 5...

4 x 5 = 20

7 x 5 = 35

$\frac{20}{35} = \frac{20}{35}$

C is the answer because the fractions are not proportional.

4) 25% is a quarter of 100%. A third of 100% is 75%.

$120 - 0.25($120) = $90

Another expression for the for sale price is...

B) 0.75($120) = $90

The output of an economic system Q, subject to two inputs, such as labor L and capital K, is often modeled by the Cobb-Dougl

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Economic system Q is given by

$Q=cL^aK^b$

also $a+b=1$

if $Q=12,200$

$a=\frac{1}{6}$

$b=\frac{5}{6}$

$c=42$

substitute these values

$12,200=42\times (L)^{\frac{1}{6}}K^{\frac{5}{6}}$

$(L)^{\frac{1}{6}}K^{\frac{5}{6}}=\frac{12,200}{42}$

$K^{\frac{5}{6}}=\frac{12,200}{42(L)^{\frac{1}{6}}}$

$K=(\frac{12,200}{42})^{\frac{6}{5}}\times \frac{1}{L^{5}}$

differentiate w.r.t to L to get $\frac{dK}{dL}$

$\frac{dK}{dL}=(\frac{12,200}{42})^{\frac{6}{5}}\times (-5)\times L^{-6}$

$\frac{dK}{dL}=-5(\frac{12,200}{42})^{\frac{6}{5}}\times \frac{1}{L^6}$

$\frac{dK}{dL}=-\frac{4515.466}{L^6}$
