Answer:

1256 cubic yards of sand.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have to find the volume of cone formed by sand.

Height of the cone is = 36 feet

Radius of the cone = 60/2 =30 feet.

Now we know the formula of volume of cone v = π r² (h/3)

By putting the values of r and h we can get the volume of sand to spread.

Volume = π×(30)²×(36/3) = 3.14×900×12 feet³

              = 33912 feet³

Now we will convert feet³ to cubic yards

Since 1 cubic feet = .037037 cubic yards

therefore 33912 cubic feet = 33912×.037 = 1256 cubic yards.

So the answer is 1256 cubic yards of sand has the department received.

The time needed to complete a final examination in a particular college course is normally distributed with a mean of 79 minutes
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: a) 0.0088

b) 0.2997

c)  5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean : \mu = 79 minutes

Standard deviation : \sigma = 8 minutes

The formula for z-score :

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) For x = 60 minutes

z=\dfrac{60-79}{8}=-2.375

The p-value =P(z\leq-2.375)=0.0087745\approx0.0088

b) For x = 75 minutes

z=\dfrac{75-79}{8}=-0.5

The p-value =P(60

=P(-0.5)-P(-2.375)=0.3085-0.0088=0.2997

c) For x = 90 minutes

z=\dfrac{90-79}{8}=1.375

The p-value =P(z>1.375)=1-P(z

=1-0.9154342=0.0845658

If the number of students in the class = 60 .

Then , the number of students will be unable to complete the exam in the allotted time =0.0845658\times60=5.073948\approx5
