The red blood cell counts (in millions of cells per microliter) for a population of adult males can be approximated by a norma

l distribution, with a mean of million cells per microliter and a standard deviation of million cells per microliter. (a) What is the minimum red blood cell count that can be in the top % of counts? (b) What is the maximum red blood cell count that can be in the bottom % of counts?

Answer:

(a) Minimum red blood cells 5.744 million cells per micro liter

(b) Maximum red blood cells 5.068 million cells per micro liter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score formula is = $\frac{x-u}{Standard deviation}$

Z-score = $\frac{x-5.5}{0.4}$

The value of z-score is 0.61 so then x will be;

x = 5.744

The minimum red blood cells count that can in top is 27% of count which is 5.744 million cells per micro liter.

Z-score = $\frac{x-5.5}{0.4}$

The value of z-score is 0.14 so then x will be;

x = 5.068

The maximum red blood cells count that can be in top is 14% of count which is 5.068 million cells per micro liter.

The volume of a 10 ounce box of cheerios is 258.75in3. the length of the box is 4 inches less than the height and the width is 3

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Height of the box = 11.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of the box.

Assuming the volume of the Box is $258.75\ in^3$ .

Given:

Length = Height - 4 = h - 4

Width = 3 in

We need to find the height of the box.

Solution:

We know that the volume of the box.

$Volume = Length\times height\times width$

Substitute all given value in above formula.

$258.75 = (h-4)\times h\times 3$

Rewrite the equation as:

$258.75 = 3h(h-4)$

$258.75 = 3h^2-12h$

$3h^2-12h-258.75=0$

whole equation divided by 3.

$h^2-4h-86.25=0$

Use quadratic formula with $a = 1, b = -4,c=-86.25$

$h=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{(b)^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

Put these a, b and c value in above equation.

$h=\frac{-(-4)\pm \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(1)(-86.25)}}{2(1)}$

$h=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16+345}}{2}$

$h=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{361}}{2}$

$h=\frac{4\pm 19}{2}$

For positive sign

$h=\frac{23}{2}$

h = 11.5 in

For negative sign

$h=\frac{-15}{2}$

h = -7.5

We take positive value of h.

Therefore, the height of the box h = 11.5 in

Estimates of the number of cells in the human body vary over an order of magnitude. Indeed, the precise number varies from one

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

a) 2.00 × 10¹⁰; b) 2.00 × 10¹³

Step-by-step explanation:

a) No. of cells in 1 cm³

$\text{No. of cells} =\text{1 cm}^{3} \times\left( \dfrac{\text{1 m}}{\text{100 cm}}\right )^{3} \times \left (\dfrac{1 \, \mu \text{m} }{10^{-6}\,\text{ m}}\right )^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1 cell}}{\text{50 $\,\mu$m}^{3}} = \mathbf{2.00 \times 10^{10}} \textbf{ cells}$

b) No. of cells in 1 L

$\text{No. of cells} = \text{1 L} \times \dfrac{\text{1000 cm}^{3}}{\text{1 L}} \times \dfrac{2 \times 10^{10} \text{ cells}}{\text{1 cm}^{3}} = \mathbf{2.00 \times 10^{13}} \textbf{ cells}$
