krek1111 [17]

Answer:

99.99% probability that the mean weight of a 50-box case of crackers is above 16 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 16.15, \sigma = 0.3, n = 50, s = \frac{0.3}{\sqrt{50}} = 0.0424$

What is the probability that the mean weight of a 50-box case of crackers is above 16 ounces?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{16 - 16.15}{0.0424}$

$Z = -3.54$

$Z = -3.54$ has a pvalue of 0.0001

1 - 0.0001 = 0.9999

99.99% probability that the mean weight of a 50-box case of crackers is above 16 ounces

On an alien planet with no atmosphere, acceleration due to gravity is given by g = 12m/s^2. A cannonball is launched from the or

almond37 [142]

Answer:

a) $\vec r (t) = \left[(90\cdot \cos \theta)\cdot t \right]\cdot i + \left[(90\cdot \sin \theta)\cdot t -6\cdot t^{2} \right]\cdot j$ , b) $\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}$ , c) $y_{max} = 84.375\,m$ , $t = 3.75\,s$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The function in terms of time and the inital angle measured from the horizontal is:

$\vec r (t) = [(v_{o}\cdot \cos \theta)\cdot t]\cdot i + \left[(v_{o}\cdot \sin \theta)\cdot t -\frac{1}{2}\cdot g \cdot t^{2} \right]\cdot j$

The particular expression for the cannonball is:

$\vec r (t) = \left[(90\cdot \cos \theta)\cdot t \right]\cdot i + \left[(90\cdot \sin \theta)\cdot t -6\cdot t^{2} \right]\cdot j$

b) The components of the position of the cannonball before hitting the ground is:

$x = (90\cdot \cos \theta)\cdot t$

$0 = 90\cdot \sin \theta - 6\cdot t$

After a quick substitution and some algebraic and trigonometric handling, the following expression is found:

$0 = 90\cdot \sin \theta - 6\cdot \left(\frac{x}{90\cdot \cos \theta} \right)$

$0 = 8100\cdot \sin \theta \cdot \cos \theta - 6\cdot x$

$0 = 4050\cdot \sin 2\theta - 6\cdot x$

$6\cdot x = 4050\cdot \sin 2\theta$

$x = 675\cdot \sin 2\theta$

The angle for a maximum horizontal distance is determined by deriving the function, equalizing the resulting formula to zero and finding the angle:

$\frac{dx}{d\theta} = 1350\cdot \cos 2\theta$

$1350\cdot \cos 2\theta = 0$

$\cos 2\theta = 0$

$2\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}$

$\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}$

Now, it is required to demonstrate that critical point leads to a maximum. The second derivative is:

$\frac{d^{2}x}{d\theta^{2}} = -2700\cdot \sin 2\theta$

$\frac{d^{2}x}{d\theta^{2}} = -2700$

Which demonstrates the existence of the maximum associated with the critical point found before.

c) The equation for the vertical component of position is:

$y = 45\cdot t - 6\cdot t^{2}$

The maximum height can be found by deriving the previous expression, which is equalized to zero and critical values are found afterwards:

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 45 - 12\cdot t$

$45-12\cdot t = 0$

$t = \frac{45}{12}$

$t = 3.75\,s$

Now, the second derivative is used to check if such solution leads to a maximum:

$\frac{d^{2}y}{dt^{2}} = -12$

Which demonstrates the assumption.

The maximum height reached by the cannonball is:

$y_{max} = 45\cdot (3.75\,s)-6\cdot (3.75\,s)^{2}$

$y_{max} = 84.375\,m$

S Explain how knowing 50 times 4 =200 helps you find 500 times 400.

Lemur [1.5K]

This is an easy way to solve multiplication with alot of zero's
Add only the numbers, then add the sum of the zeros
So with this problem we do this:-
5*4 is 20, plus the zero in the 50, so the answer is 200
Now we can do the other one:-

5*4 is 20, plus the 4 zeros that we removed is 200,000

Hope I helped. :)
