A consultant has three sources of income—from teaching short courses, from selling computer software, and from advising on proje

cts. His expected annual incomes from these sources are $7,000, $22,000, and $50,000, and the respective standard deviations are $3,000, $4,000, and $18,000. Assuming independence, find the mean and standard deviation of his total annual income.

Answer:

Mean = $79,000

Standard deviation = $25,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Expected annual incomes:

From teaching short courses = $7,000

From selling computer software = $22,000

From advising on projects = $50,000

Standard deviation:

teaching short courses = $3,000

selling computer software = $4,000

advising on projects = $18,000

Now,

it is given that the events are independent

therefore,

Mean = ∑(Expected annual income)

or

Mean = $7,000 + $22,000 + $50,000

or

Mean = $79,000

also,

Standard deviation = ∑(standard deviation)

or

Standard deviation = $3,000 + $4,000 + $18,000 = $25,000

Simplify using the division rule<br> 14,252<br> Trs

Bad White [126]

Answer:

2rs

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify- 2*7r^2s^2/7rs

r^2 divided by r^1=r^(2-1)=r^1=r

s^2 divided by s^1=s^(2-1)=s^1=s

canceling out 7 as it appears on both sides of the fraction line

Question # 1

Answer:

$\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=-\frac{3}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}$

$=-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}$ ∵ $\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}$

$=-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{1}{4}$ ∵ $\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}5,\:4:\quad 20$

$=-\frac{8}{20}+\frac{5}{20}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{-8+5}{20}$

$\mathrm{Add/Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-8+5=-3$

$=\frac{-3}{20}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{3}{20}$

Therefore,

$\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=-\frac{3}{20}$

Question # 2

Answer:

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=-\frac{5}{28}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}$

$=-\frac{6}{35}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{2}{5}\times \frac{1}{14}$ ∵ $\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}=-\frac{6}{35}$

$=-\frac{6}{35}-\frac{1}{140}$ ∵ $\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=\frac{1}{140}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}35,\:140:\quad 140$

$=-\frac{24}{140}-\frac{1}{140}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{-24-1}{140}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-24-1=-25$

$=\frac{-25}{140}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{25}{140}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:5$

$=-\frac{5}{28}$

Therefore,

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=-\frac{5}{28}$

Can any one here please help me in this math problem I really need help

MArishka [77]

Answer:

The volume of the solid is the volume of the prism minus the volume of the cylinder.

For the cylinder, diameter = d = 4 cm

radius = d/2 = (4 cm)/2 = 2 cm

V = volume of prism - volume of cylinder

The volume of a prism is length times width times height.

The volume of a cylinder is pi times the square of the radius times the height.

V = LWH - (pi)r^2h

V = 6 cm * 6 cm * 15 cm - (pi)(2 cm)^2(15 cm)

V = 540 cm^3 - 60pi cm^3

V = (540 - 60pi) cm^3
