Volume = 105in³

Mass = 871.5g

To find the volume of the metal we can find the area of a base, and multiply it by the prism's width.

The base is 30cm in area, and the width is 3.5cm, which makes the volume 105in³

The mass of the doorstop can be found by just multiplying the grams per cubic centimeter by the volume, which would be 871.5g

What is the measure of the missing angle?

Lostsunrise [7]

The three angles of a triangle should equal 180 so add 52+34 which equals 86.Then subtract 86 from 180 to get the third angles measure which is 94 so the answer is 94.

Because not all airline passengers show up for their reserved seat, an airline sells 125 tickets for a flight that holds only 12

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

98.75% probability that every passenger who shows up can take the flight

Step-by-step explanation:

For each passenger who show up, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they can take the flight, or they do not. The probability of a passenger taking the flight is independent from other passenger. So the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

However, we are working with a large sample. So i am going to aproximate this binomial distribution to the normal.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
