Answer:

(a)

V=x^3+x^2-9x-9

(b)

x=10

(c)

x=\frac{7}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

length is x+1

L=x+1

width is x+3

W=x+3

height is x-3

H=x-3

(a)

we can use volume formula

V=L\times W\times H

now, we can plug it

V=(x+1)\times (x+3)\times (x-3)

now, we can simplify it

V=x^3+x^2-9x-9

(b)

we are given volume =1001

so, we can set V=1001

and then we can solve for x

V=x^3+x^2-9x-9=1001

now, we can factor it

\left(x-10\right)\left(x^2+11x+101\right)=0

x-10=0

x=10

(b)

we are given volume

so, we can set

V=14\frac{5}{8}=\frac{14\times 8+5}{8}

V=\frac{117}{8}

and then we can solve for x

V=x^3+x^2-9x-9=\frac{117}{8}

now, we can factor it

8x^3+8x^2-72x-189=0

\left(2x-7\right)\left(4x^2+18x+27\right)=0

2x-7=0

x=\frac{7}{2}

What is the mean for 2,7,3,7,9
ale4655 [162]
Simple add them all 2+7+3+7+9 is 28 then divide 28 by the amount of numbers (5) to get 5.6 or if you are rounding to the nearest number 6...  Hope this helped ;)

What is the area of a sector with radius 4 and an angle of 18°? Use 3.14 for pi.
iVinArrow [24]
The area of the sector (As) of a circle may be calculated by the formula,
                                     As = (a / 360) x π x r²
where a is the measure of angle in degrees and r is the radius. Substituting the known values, 
                                    As = (18 / 360) x 3.14 x (4²) = 2.512
Thus, the area of the sector is approximately 2.512 squared units.

A selective university advertises that 96% of its bachelor’s degree graduates have, on graduation day, a professional job offer
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The probability is  P( p <  0.9207) = 0.0012556

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told

  The population proportion is p = 0.96

 The sample size is  n  =  227

 The number of graduate who had job is  k = 209

Generally given that the sample size is large enough  (i.e n >  30) then the mean of this sampling distribution is  

       \mu_x = p = 0.96

Generally the standard deviation of this sampling distribution is  

    \sigma  = \sqrt{\frac{p (1 - p )}{n} }

=>  \sigma  = \sqrt{\frac{0.96 (1 - 0.96 )}{227} }

=>  \sigma  = 0.0130

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as

      \^ p =  \frac{k}{n}

=> \^ p =  \frac{209}{227}

=> \^ p =  0.9207

Generally probability of obtaining a sample proportion as low as or lower than this, if the university’s claim is true, is mathematically represented as

     P( p <  0.9207) = P( \frac{\^ p - p }{\sigma } <  \frac{0.9207 - 0.96}{0.0130 }  )

\frac{\^ p - p}{\sigma }  =  Z (The  \ standardized \  value\  of  \ \^ p )

   P( p <  0.9207) = P(Z< -3.022 )

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to    -3.022  is

     P(Z< -3.022 ) = 0.0012556

=> P( p <  0.9207) = 0.0012556
