In response to the increasing weight of airline passengers, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told airlines to assume th

at passengers average 200 pounds in the summer, including clothes and carry-on baggage. But passengers vary, and the FAA did not specify a standard deviation. A reasonable standard deviation is 35 pounds. Weights are not Normally distributed, especially when the population includes both men and women, but they are not very non-Normal. A commuter plane carries 30 passengers.
Required:
Explain why you cannot calculate the probability that a randomly selected passenger weighs more than 200 pounds.

Answer:

Because we don't know the exact shape of the population distribution since they are not Normally distributed and they are also not very non-Normal

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Population standard deviation;μ = 200

Population standard deviation; σ = 35

Sample size; n = 30

We are told that the weights are not Normally distributed and they are also not very non-Normal. Therefore it means we don't know the exact shape of the population distribution and as such we can't calculate the probability that a randomly selected passenger weighs more than 200 pounds.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation is

y = 2.49x + 24.99

The number of cones bought is x

The cake cost is 24.99

The total cost is y

===========

So the meaning of (5,37.44) is that she bought 5 cones and 1 cake. Let's just check that out.

Check

y = 2.49*5 + 24.99

y = 12.45 + 24.99

y = 37.44

So the total cost (y) of 5 cones (2.49 each) and 1 cake ($24.99) is 37.44

I have a square with a side of 5.25 in. There is a circle inside this square that is big enough to touch all four sides. What is
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

5.9125in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

Dimension of square= 5.25 in

Area of sqaure= 5.25^2= 27.5625  in^2

We are told that the sides of the circle touch the sides of the square

hence the diameter of the circle is 5.25in

radius= 5.25/2= 2.625 in

Area of  circle= πr^2

Area of circle = 3.142*2.625^2

Area of circle=3.142*6.890625

Area of circle= 21.65 in^2

Step two:

The area that is not inside the circle

=Area of square-Area of circle

=27.5625- 21.65

=5.9125in^2

100 POINTS PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!
Alika [10]

Answer: To clear an equation of decimals, multiply each term on both sides by the power of ten that will make all the decimals whole numbers. In our example above, if we multiply .25 by 100, we will get 25, a whole number. Since each decimal only goes to the hundredths place, 100 will work for all three terms.

So let's multiply each term by 100 to clear the decimals:

(100)0.25x + (100)0.35 = (100)(-0.29)

25x + 35 = -29

Now we can solve the equation as normal:

25x + 35 - 35 = -29 - 35

25x = -64

x = -2.56 Since the original was in decimal form, the answer should most likely also be in decimal form.

Let's look at one more:

1.75x + 4 = 6.2

We have to think a little more carefully about what multiple of ten to use here. 6.2 only needs to be multiplied by 10, but 1.25 needs 100, so we will multiply every term by 100. Don't forget to multiply the 4 by 100 as well.

(100)(1.75x) + (100)(4) = (100)(6.2)

175x + 400 = 620

We had to be extra careful as we multiplied by 100. Now we can solve the equation as normal:

175x + 400 - 400 = 620 - 400

175x = 220

x = 1.26

Find the volume of the solid formed by revolving the region bounded by LaTeX: y = \sqrt{x} y = x and the lines LaTeX: y = 1 y =
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The volume is:

\displaystyle\frac{37\pi}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

See the sketch of the region in the attached graph.

We set the integral using washer method:

\displaystyle\int_a^b\pi r^2dx

Notice here the radius of the washer is the difference of the given curves:

x-\sqrt{x}

So the integral becomes:

\displaystyle\int_1^4\pi(x-\sqrt{x})^2dx

We solve it:

Factor \pi out and distribute the exponent (you can use FOIL):

\displaystyle\pi\int_1^4x^2-2x\sqrt{x}+x\,dx

Notice: x\sqrt{x}=x\cdot x^{1/2}=x^{3/2}

So the integral becomes:

\displaystyle\pi\int_1^4x^2-2x^{3/2}+x\,dx

Then using the basic rule to evaluate the integral:

\displaystyle\pi\left[\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{2x^{5/2}}{5/2}+\frac{x^2}{2}\right|_1^4

Simplifying a bit:

\displaystyle\pi\left[\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{4x^{5/2}}{5}+\frac{x^2}{2}\right|_1^4

Then plugging the limits of the integral:

\displaystyle\pi\left[\frac{4^3}{3}-\frac{4(4)^{5/2}}{5}+\frac{4^2}{2}-\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{4}{5}+\frac{1}{2}\right)\right]

Taking the root (rational exponents):

\displaystyle\pi\left[\frac{4^3}{3}-\frac{4(2)^{5}}{5}+\frac{4^2}{2}-\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{4}{5}+\frac{1}{2}\right)\right]

Then doing those arithmetic computations we get:

\displaystyle\frac{37\pi}{10}

What is the difference between no solution and no real solution? When do you get multiple solutions? This is for solving absolut
shepuryov [24]
No solution means u can graph the two equations and it would form parallel lines and would never intersect while, no real solution when graph the two equations would form the same line. When dealing with absolute value equation an equation with a degree larger than one,theres a chance it can be multiple solutions
