Your iron works has been contracted to design and build a 500-ft3 square-based, open-top, rectangular steel holding tank for a p

aper company. The tank is to be made by welding half-inch-thick stainless steel plates together along their edges. As the production engineer, your job is to find dimensions for the base and height that will make the tank weight as little as possible. What dimensions do you tell the shop to use?

500 cubic feet of 1/2-inch thick stainless steel plates will weigh the same no matter what dimensions are use for area and height of tank.

A 5 foot by 5 foot area 20 feet high (500 cubic feet) will weigh just as much as a  10 foot by 10 foot area 5 feet high (also 500 cubic feet) since you are using the same amount of material for the whole tank. Only possible change in weight of tank is the use of welding material and how evenly and good the welder is at welding stainless steel.

Paulo catches a 7.45 am tram to school. During a period of 79 days, he arrives at school on time 53 occasions. Estimate the prob
lawyer [7]

Answer:

<em>On time: 0.67</em>

<em>Late: 0.33</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probabilities</u>

One approach to estimating the probability of occurrence of an event is to record the number of times that event happens (e) and compare it with the total number of trials (n).

The probability can be estimated with the formula:

\displaystyle P=\frac{e}{n}

And the probability that the event doesn't occur is

Q = 1 - P

Paulo arrives on time to school e=53 times out of n=79 times. The probability that he arrives on time is:

\displaystyle P=\frac{53}{79}

P = 0.67

And the probability he arrives late is:

Q = 1 - 0.67 = 0.33

Graph the inequality. -8 &lt; y + 2x &lt; 14
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Split it into 2 inequalities:

-8 < y + 2x

y + 2x < 14

Isolate y , subtract 2x from first and then from second

-8 -2x < y

y < 14 -2x

Rewrite it so it looks pretty?

y > -2x-8

y < -2x +14

You can use the calculator to graph each inequality.

The solution or the system is the area where the 2 solutions for each line overlap.
