Answer:

Company B is more likely to produce a box of 260 roofing nails.

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A :

Mean = 272 nails

Standard deviation = 5.4 nails

Roofing nails expected to be produced = 260

⇒ 260 = 272 + z × 5.4

⇒ z = -2.222

Hence, Company A has a chance of 1.32% of producing exactly or fewer than 260 boxes of roofing nails.

Company B :

Mean = 249 nails

Standard deviation = 3.8 nails

Roofing nails expected to be produced = 260

⇒ 260 = 249 + z × 4.8

⇒ z = 2.895

Hence, Company B has a chance of 0.19% of producing exactly or more than 260 boxes of roofing nails.

Therefore, Company B is more likely to produce a box of 260 roofing nails.

If an object is launched at an angle of 28° with an initial velocity of 133 ft./s from a height of 6 feet how many seconds will
Tema [17]

Answer:

Hence after  3.98 sec  i.e  4 sec Object will hit the ground  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height= 6 feet

Angle =28 degrees.

V=133 ft/sec

To Find:

Time in seconds after which it will hit the ground?

Solution:

<em>This problem is related to projectile motion for objec</em>t

First calculate the Range for object  and it is given by ,

R=v^2Sin(2Ф)/g

Here R= range  g= acceleration due to gravity =9.8 m/sec^2

1m =3.2 feet

So 9.8 m, equals to 9.8 *3.2=31.36 ft

So g=31.36 ft/sec^2. and 2Ф=2(28)=56

R=133^2*Sin(56)/31.36

R=14664.84/31.36

R=467.62  fts

Now using Formula for time and range as

R=VxT

Vx is horizontal velocity

Vx=V*cosФ

Vx=133*cos(28)

Vx=117.43  ft/sec

So above equation becomes as ,

467.62=117.43*T

T=467.62/117.43

T=3.98 sec

T is approximately equals to 4 sec.

The sum of the residuals should always be 0 because the predicted values should be that close to the actual values.
kow [346]

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the residuals is always 0 so the plot will always be centered around the x-axis. An outlier is a value that is well separated from the rest of the data set. An outlier will have a large absolute residual value.
