Answer:

14400 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l, b and h are length, breadth and height of a cuboid respectively, then

$V=l\times b\times h$

If another cuboid is larger by a scale factor of k, then kl, kb and kh are length, breadth and height of new cuboid respectively.

$V_1=kl\times kb\times kh$

$V_1=k^3(l\times b\times h)$

$V_1=k^3V$ ...(i)

It is given that a kitchen sink has a volume of 1800 cubic inches and a similar sink is larger by a scale factor of 2.

Substitute k=2 and V=1800 in equation (i).

$V_1=2^3(1800)$

$V_1=14400$

Therefore, the volume of required sink is 14400 cubic inches.

Answer:

m<N = 76°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

∆JKL and ∆MNL are isosceles ∆ (isosceles ∆ has 2 equal sides).

m<J = 64° (given)

Required:

m<N

SOLUTION:

m<K = m<J (base angles of an isosceles ∆ are equal)

m<K = 64° (Substitution)

m<K + m<J + m<JLK = 180° (sum of ∆)

64° + 64° + m<JLK = 180° (substitution)

128° + m<JLK = 180°

subtract 128 from each side

m<JLK = 180° - 128°

m<JLK = 52°

In isosceles ∆MNL, m<MLN and <M are base angles of the ∆. Therefore, they are of equal measure.

Thus:

m<MLN = m<JKL (vertical angles are congruent)

m<MLN = 52°

m<M = m<MLN (base angles of isosceles ∆MNL)

m<M = 52° (substitution)

m<N + m<M° + m<MLN = 180° (Sum of ∆)

m<N + 52° + 52° = 180° (Substitution)

m<N + 104° = 180°

subtract 104 from each side

m<N = 180° - 104°

m<N = 76°

A basketball player makes 70% of the free throws he shoots. Suppose that he tries 15 free throws.

Answer:

a.) .95

b.) The expected number of baskets is 10.50.

c.) 1.7748

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) This is a binomial distribution as there are two possibilities: makes a free throw or doesn't. This means that you can use the binomial function on a calculator to figure out the answer. Use the binomial CDF function on a calculator and the number of trials=15, probability of success=.7, lower bound=0, upper bound=7. Once you have evaluated the answer, .0500, it will need to be subtracted from1, as you want everything not included in this section. The answer to part a is thus 1-.0500=.95.

b.) The expected value is calculated by taking the total number of shots and multiplying it by the probability of making the shot: 15×.7=10.5 shots.

c.) The standard deviation of a binomial distribution can be calculated by the formula $\sqrt{(sample size)(probability)(1-probability)}$ . Plugging in the numbers you get $\sqrt{(15)(.7)(.3)}$ =1.7748.
