Answer

given,

the standard deviation:-  

of the students height in the class = 4.2 inches  

of the male heights in the class = 3.4 inches  

of females height in the class = 3.3 inches  

standard deviation is the deviation of the value from the target value.

the given question standard deviation of the students is more than that of the individual standard deviation of the heights of males and females because of the distribution of the entire class has more dispersion.

Using elimination, we add the equations, but this time from left to right. This process wants to elimination a variable. So 2x plus -2x equals 0. Moving on the next variable, 6y plus -y is 5y. On to the last variable, 18 plus 12 is 30. So we have this equation, 5y=30. 30/5 is 6, so y=6. We plug 6 into y in one of the equations you choose. In this case, I'm going to use the first equation. Plugging 6, we have this equation, 2x plus 36 is 18. 18-36 is -18. We then have this equation, 2x=-18. We know -9 times 2 is -18, so our x value is -9, So, our y=6, and our x=-9.

bogdanovich [222]
The two domes or hemispheres simply have the area of a complete sphere with the same diameter.  So the total area is the area of a sphere and a cylinder...

as=(4p3^3)/3, ac=10p3^2

A= 36p+90p=126p in^3
