Answer:

The percentage of the bag that should have popped 96 kernels or more is 2.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> can be defined as the number of popcorn kernels that popped out of a mini bag.

The mean is, <em>μ</em> = 72 and the standard deviation is, <em>σ</em> = 12.

Assume that the population of the number of popcorn kernels that popped out of a mini bag follows a Normal distribution.

Compute the probability that a bag popped 96 kernels or more as follows:

Apply continuity correction:

P( X\geq 96)=P( X>96+0.50)

                 =P( X>96.50)\\=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{96.50-72}{12})\\=P(Z>2.04)\\=1-P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

The probability that a bag popped 96 kernels or more is 0.021.

The percentage is, 0.021 × 100 = 2.1%.

Thus, the percentage of the bag that should have popped 96 kernels or more is 2.1%.

A regular square pyramid just fits inside a cube (the base of the pyramid is congruent to a face of the cube and
zlopas [31]
Volume of reg sq. pyramid = vp
vp = 1/3×s^2×h, where s = side and h = height
Volume of cone = vc =1/3×h×pi×r^2
Now we know that h is the same for both, and the cones diameter = s of square base, so radius (r) = 1/2 s
so now vc = 1/3×h×pi×(1/2s)^2
let's remove the same items for both vc and vp
so 1/3 and h
now let's plug an arbitrary number into each:
vc = pi (10/2)^2 = 3.14×25 = 78.54
vp = s^2 = 10^2 = 100
So any square pyramid has slightly more volume than the cone
