Andy is scuba diving.He starts at sea level and then descends 10 feet in 2 1/2 minutes.

1 answer:

4 0

Descent = 10 feet
Time required = 2 1/2 minutes.
The rate of descent = (10 feet)/(2.5 mn) = 4 ft/min

In 6 minutes, the descent will be
(4 ft/min)*(6 min) = 24 ft

Answer:
(a) 4 feet/minute
(b) 24 feet

The volume of a cylinder is 980pi in ^3 The height of the cylinder is 20 in. What is the radius of the cylinder?

Answer:

The radius of the cylinder is 7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the radius of a cylinder we have to use the following formula:

v = volume = 980π in³

h = height = 20in

π = pi

r = radius

v = (π * r²) * h

we replace with the known values

980π in³ = (π * (r)²) * 20in

980π in³ / 20in = π * (r)²

49 in² = (r)²

√(49 in²) = r

7 in = r

The radius of the cylinder is 7 in

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 90% confidence interval is given by: (0.6350, 0.6984).

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 90% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.9$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95$ , so the critical value is z = 1.645.
