A manufacturing company measures the weight of boxes before shipping them to the customers. If the box weights have a population

mean and standard deviation of 90 lb and 24 lb, respectively, then based on a sample size of 36 boxes, what is the probability that the average weight of the boxes will exceed 94 lb?

Answer:

<u>The probability that the average weight of the boxes will exceed 94 pounds  is 43.25%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to answer the question correctly:

Mean of the population of box weights = 90 pounds

Standard deviation of the population of box weights = 24 pounds

Sample size = 36 boxes

2. What is the probability that the average weight of the boxes will exceed 94 lb?

For answering this question, we will use the z-scores table.

For using the correct z-score, we should use the correct standard deviation. In this case, we have that:

94 - 90 = 4 pounds above the mean.

4 pounds are 4/24 of the standard deviation,

therefore, simplifying:

4/24 = 1/6 = 0.1666......and we'll round to 0.17

z-score is 0.17 because 4 pounds is 1/6 of the standard deviation (24).

The probability of a z-score is 0.5675, but in this case we're asked by a weight over 94 pounds, not under 94 pounds, thus:

1 - 0.5675 = 0.4325

<u>The probability that the average weight of the boxes will exceed 94 pounds  is 43.25%</u>

Alexxandr [17]

Using 3.14 for PI.

The radius of a ball and the can is half the diameter = 1.25

The height of the can is the height of 3 diameters = 7.5

Volume of one tennis ball:

4/3 x PI x 1.25^3 = 8.18 cubic inches.

Volume of 3 tennis balls: 3 x 8.18 = 24.54 cubic inches.

Volume of can:

PI x 1.25^2 x 7.5 = 36.80 cubic inches.

Space = 36.80 - 24.54 = 12.26 cubic inches.

Choose the expression that represents a cubic expression.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

10x³ - 6x² - 9x + 12 is a cubic expression ⇒ 2nd

6x + 6 is a linear expression ⇒ 1st

5x² + 9x - 1 is a quadratic expression ⇒ 2nd

Quadratic expression ⇒ 1st

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the degree of any expression

- The degree of any expression is the greatest power of the variable

- Ex:

# 3x - 3 is a first degree expression

# x² - 3x + 2  is a second degree expression

# 5x³ - 2x² + 5x - 2 is a third degree expression

- The first degree expression is called linear expression

- The second degree expression is called quadratic expression

- The third degree expression is called cubic expression

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The cubic expression is the expression with greatest power of 3

∴ 10x³ - 6x² - 9x + 12 is the cubic expression

∵ The linear expression is the expression with greatest power of 1

∴ 6x + 6 is a linear expression

∵ The quadratic expression is the expression with greatest power of 2

∴ 5x² + 9x - 1 is a quadratic expression

∵ The expression is -2x² + 11

∵ The greatest power of x is 2

∴ -2x² + 11 is a quadratic expression

The Pythagorean Identity states that:
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to pythagoras theorem;

(sinx)²+(cosx)² = 1

Given that sinФ = √3/2

Substitute into the formula

(√3/2)²+(cosx)² = 1

3/4+(cosx)² = 1

(cosx)² = 1 - 3/4

(cosx)²  = 1/4

cos x = √1/4

cos x = 1/2

Hence the value of cosФ is 1/2
