Answer:

the volume of the empty space is 12.22 in^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, cylinder and sphere.

1. If we take a careful look at the problem, we will understand that the diameters of the four balls all sum up to give the height of the cylinder

2. Also to solve for the empty space, we have to subtract the volume of the 3 balls from the volume of the cylinder.

Given data

Diameter of sphere and cylinder d=  2.5 in

Radius r =  \frac{diameter}{2} = \frac{2.5}{2} =  1.25 in

Height h=  3(2.5)= 7.5 in

let us solve for the volume of the cylinder

volume= \pi r^{2} h\\volume= 3.14*1.25^{2}* 7.5\\volume= 3.142*1.56*7.5\\volume= 36.76 in^{3}

we can now solve for the volume of all three balls

we know that the volume of sphere is given as

volume= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \\

since we are solving for 3 balls we multiply by 3

volume= 3*\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \\volume= 4\pi r^{3} \\volume= 4*3.142*1.25^{3} \\volume= 4* 3.142*1.95\\volume= 24.54in^{3}

hence the volume of the empty space is

= volume of cylinder- volume of all three balls

=36.76- 24.5\\= 12.22 in^{3}

Flura [38]

Answer:

n=(\frac{1.645(45)}{5})^2 =219.18 \approx 220

So the answer for this case would be n=220 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\sigma = 45 represent the population deviation

ME = 5 represent the margin of error

The margin of error for the true mean is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =5 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (4) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (b)

The critical value for 90% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. The significance level is \alpha=1-0.9=0.1 and the critical value would be z_{\alpha/2}=1.645, replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{1.645(45)}{5})^2 =219.18 \approx 220

So the answer for this case would be n=220 rounded up to the nearest integer

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

2|6+p|-3p³,

when p=-2

2|6+p|-3p³=2|6-2|-3(-2)³

=2(4)-3(-8)

=8+24
