Answer:

The volume of the water in the pool is 1,017 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cylinder is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2} h$

we have

$r=18/2=9\ ft$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

Remember that

$1\ ft=12\ in$

so

$6\ in=6/12=0.5\ ft$

To find out the height of the water, subtract 0.5 feet from the height of the swimming pool

$h=4.5-0.5=4\ ft$

assume

$\pi =3.14$

Find the volume of the water

$V=(3.14)(9^{2})(4)$

$V=1,017\ ft^3$

A recent college graduate is planning to take the first three actuarial examinations in the coming summer. She will take the fir

erica [24]

Answer:

(a) 0.7

(b) $\frac 13$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $E_1, E_2,$ and $E_3$ be the events of passing the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd exam individually.

Given that $P(E_1)=0.9\;\cdots(i)$

where $P(E_1)$ denotes the probability of passing the 1st exam.

Condition for passing the second exam is, at first, the candidate must have to pass the 1st exam.

So, $P\left(\frac{E_2}{E_1}\right)=0.8\;\cdots(ii)$

where $P(E_2/E_1)$ denotes the probability of passing the 2nd exam when she already passed the 1st exam (given, 0.8).

Similarly, as the conditional probability of passing the 3rd exam is 0.7, and the condition for this is, at first, she must have to pass the 1st and 2nd exam. i.e,

$P\left(\frac{E_2}{P(E_2/E_1)}\right)=0.7\;\cdots(iii)$

(a) For passing all the exams, the condition is, at first, she has to pass the 1st and 2nd exam, then she has to pass the 3rd exam too. The probability for this conditional has been given as 0.7.

So, the probability that she passes all three exams is 0.7.

(b) Given that she didn't pass all three exams that means she either failed in 1st exam or she passed the 1st and failed in 2nd exam or she passed both 1st and 2nd but failed in the 3rd exam.

Let F be the event that she didn't pass all three exams. So,

$P(F)=(1-P(E_1))+\left(1-\frac{P(E_2)}{P(E_1)}\right)+\left(1-\frac{P(E_2)}{P(E_2/E_1)}}\right)$

$\Rightarrow P(F)=(1-0.9)+(1-0.8)+(1-0.7)=0.6$

Lef $F_2$ be the event that she failed the 2nd exam, so

$P(F_2)=1-\frac{P(E_2)}{P(E_1)}$

$\Rightarrow P(F_2)=1-0.8=0.2$

So, the conditional probability that she failed the 2nd exam is

$P\left(\frac{F_2}{F}\right)=\frac{P(F_2)}{P(F)}$

$\Rightarrow P\left(\frc{F_2}{F}\right)=\frac{0.2}{0.6}=\frac{1}{3}=0.33$

Which human activity is correctly paired with the greenhouse gas that it increases?

ohaa [14]

Answer:

Sewage treatment and nitrous oxide

Step-by-step explanation:

Sewage to treatment and nitrous oxide is correctly paired with the greenhouse gases that it increases.

Greenhouse gas refers to gases that has the property of absorbing infrared radiation (net heat energy) emitted from Earth’s surface and reradiating it back to Earth’s surface, thus contributing to the greenhouse effect.

Examples of greenhouse gases and the most important greenhouse gases are methane, carbon dioxide (CO2), and water vapor.

Human activities such as fossil-fuel combustion are responsible for increase in the atmospheric concentration of various greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, methane and ozone.
