An hourglass consists of two sets of congruent composite figures on either end. Each composite figure is made up of a cone and a

cylinder, as shown below:

Each cone of the hourglass has a height of 18 millimeters. The total height of the sand within the top portion of the hourglass is 54 millimeters. The radius of both cylinder and cone is 8 millimeters. Sand drips from the top of the hourglass to the bottom at a rate of 10π cubic millimeters per second. How many seconds will it take until all of the sand has dripped to the bottom of the hourglass?

Answer: third option 268.8

Explanation:

For this kind of proble it is very important that you attach the figure because it contains important information to understand the question.

I have attached the figure for better understanding.

1) The top portion (and the bottom is congruent but rotated 180°) of the hourglass is a figure equivalent to a cylinder on top and a cone on bottom.

So the total volume contained in the top portion is the volume of a cylinder + the volume of a cone.

This is how you calculate the volume of the top portion:

1) The height of the cylinder is 54 mm - 18 mm = 36 mm

2) The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = π (radius)^2 * height

radius = 8 mm
height = 36 mm

=> V = π(8mm)^2 * 36 mm = 2304π (mm)^3

3) The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)π(radius)^2 * height

radius = 8 mm
height = 18 mm

V = (1/3)π(8mm)^2 * 18 mm = 384π (mm)^3

4) The total volume of the top portion is volumen of the cylindrical part + voume of the cone:

Total voluem = 2304π (mm)^3 + 384π (mm)^3 = 2688π (mm)^3

5) To find the number of seconds <span>it take until all of the sand has dripped to the bottom of the hourglass you have to divide the total volumen of sand by the rate:

time in seconds = total volume of sand / rate of dripping

time in seconds = [2688 π (mm)^3 ] / [10π (mm)^3 / s] = 268.8 s

That is the answer: 268.8 s

Hello! I can help you with this! So, you and 3 friends are 4 people. You split $536. To find the amount each of you got, Do division. 536/4 is 134. Each friend got $134 in the first month. You made 224 in 2 months. Let’s subtract to see how much more each of them got. 224 - 134 is 90. Now, multiply by 4 to find out how much profit was made. 90 * 4 is 360. The shop made $360 in the second month.

A car insurance company has high-risk, medium-risk, and low-risk clients, who have, respectively, probabilities .04, .02, and .0
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

(a) 0.983

(b) 0.353 or 35.3%

(c) 0.604 or 60.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The probability of a random client does not file a claim is equal to the sum of:

1) the probability of a client being high risk and does not file a claim = P(hr)*(1-P(c_hr))

2) the probability of a client being medium risk and does not file a claim = P(mr)*(1-P(c_mr))

and

3) the probability of a client being low risk and does not file a claim = P(lr)*(1-P(c_lr))

P(not claim) = P(hr)*(1-P(c_hr))+P(mr)*(1-P(c_mr))+P(lr)*(1-P(c_lr))

P(not claim) = 0.15*(1-0.04)+0.25*(1-0.02)+0.6*(1-0.01)

P(not claim) = 0.15*0.96+0.25*0.98+0.6*0.99 = 0.983

(b) To know the proportion of claims that come from high risk clients we need to know the total expected claims in every category:

Claims expected by high risk clients = P(c_hr)*P(hr) = 0.04*0.15 = 0.006 claims/client

Claims expected by medium risk clients = P(c_mr)*P(mr) = 0.02*0.25 = 0.005 claims/client

Claims expected by low risk clients = P(c_lr)*P(lr) = 0.01*0.60 = 0.006 claims/client

The proportion of claims done by high risk clients is

Claims by HR clients / Total claims expected = 0.006 / (0.006+0.005+0.006) =  0.006 / 0.017 = 0.3529 or 35,3%

(c)  The probability of being a client of a particular category and who don't file a claim is:

1) High risk: 0.15*(1-0.04) = 0.144

2) Medium risk: 0.25*(1-0.02) =  0.245

3) Low risk: 0.6*(1-0.01) = 0.594

The probability that a random client who didn't file a claim is low- risk can be calculated as:

Probability of being low risk and don't file a claim / Probability of not filing a claim

P(LR&not claim)/P(not claim) = 0.594 / (0.144+0.245+0.594)

P(LR&not claim)/P(not claim) = 0.594 /  0.983 = 0.604 or 60.4%
