Answer:

Well just looking at the choices can lead you to the answer right away.

Well since the probability of boys and girls are equal, its 50/50. And since 125 in half well about is about 60-62 and the minimum amount of girls has to be 70. It can’t be higher then half and the choices remain to less then half not including 50%. So that eliminates all 3 choices except B.

Below are tabulated a number of Rockwell G hardness values that were measured on a single steel specimen. Compute

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

a) 48.408

b) 1.235

Step-by-step explanation:

The average hardness value xbar can be computed as

xbar=sum of values/number of values

xbar=(46.5+46.9+49.4+50.3+49.8+48.8+47+47.7+48.3+49.4+47.8+49)/12

xbar=580.9/12

xbar=48.408 (rounded to 3 decimal places).

The average hardness value is 48.408.

The standard deviation hardness value s can be computed as

$s=\sqrt{\frac{sum(x-xbar)^2}{n-1} }$

x x-xbar (x-xbar) ²

46.5 -1.90833 3.64174

46.9 -1.50833 2.27507

49.4 0.99167 0.98340

50.3 1.89167 3.57840

49.8 1.39167 1.93674

48.8 0.39167 0.15340

47.0 -1.40833 1.98340

47.7 -0.70833 0.50174

48.3 -0.10833 0.01174

49.4 0.99167 0.98340

47.8 -0.60833 0.37007

49.0 0.59167 0.35007

Total 16.7692

$s=\sqrt{\frac{16.7692}{12-1} }$

$s=\sqrt{\frac{16.7692}{11} }$

$s=\sqrt{1.5245}$

$s=1.2347$

s=1.235 (rounded to 3 decimal places)

The standard deviation hardness value is 1.235.

Hal has a steel barrel with a diameter of 6 feet that can be filled to a depth of 4.6 feet with oil. What is the volume of the b

scoray [572]

Answer:

129.996 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the barrel is a perfect cylinder, we can use the formula to find the volume:

$\pi(r)^2(h)$

First, we have to find the radius, which is:

D = 2r

So the radius is 3 feet, since it is half of the diameter. Then, we plug in the values.

$3.14(3)^2(4.6)$

Now, we solve. Exponents are first...

3.14(9)(4.6)

Now multiply left to right.

28.26(4.6)

129.996 cubic feet

Therefore, the barrel can hold 129.996 cubic feet of oil. Hope this helps you!
