The first thing any good mathematician does is convert the measurements to the same unit as what the question is asking. In this problem, it states that the pool fills at a rate of 20 cubic meters per hour. Just keep in mind that an hour is 60 minutes.

The next step is to see how many cubic meters will cost $300. This can be done by dividing 300 by 10. This gets you 30 cubic meters of water.

You already know that 60 minutes is 20 cubic meters of water. That leaves the remaining 10 cubic meters of water. By dividing the rate given, you get that 30 minutes is 10 cubic meters of water. Add the 60 and 30 together to get 90 minutes.

It will take 90 minutes for the pump to use $300.

Normal Distribution. Cherry trees in a certain orchard have heights that are normally distributed with mu = 112 inches and sigma
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly chosen tree is greater than 140 inches is 0.0228.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Cherry trees in a certain orchard have heights that are normally distributed with \mu = 112 inches and \sigma = 14 inches.

To find : What is the probability that a randomly chosen tree is greater than 140 inches?

Solution :

Mean - \mu = 112 inches

Standard deviation - \sigma = 14 inches

The z-score formula is given by, Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Now,

P(X>140)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{140-\mu}{\sigma})

P(X>140)=P(Z>\frac{140-112}{14})

P(X>140)=P(Z>\frac{28}{14})

P(X>140)=P(Z>2)

P(X>140)=1-P(Z

The Z-score value we get is from the Z-table,

P(X>140)=1-0.9772

P(X>140)=0.0228

Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen tree is greater than 140 inches is 0.0228.

statuscvo [17]
The general and correct rule in order of operations is PEMDAS which is parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition then subtraction.

Given the expression <span>2 + (3 + 5)2 ÷ 4 ⋅(1/2)^4
P : </span><span>2 + (8)2 ÷ 4 ⋅(1/2)^4
E : </span><span>2 + (8)2 ÷ 4 ⋅ 0.0625
M: </span><span>2 + 16 ÷ 0.25
D: 2 + 64
A: 66
S: - 

The final answer is then 66.</span>
