Solution :

Here the probability that exactly 28 out of 304 students will not graduate on time. That is

P (x = 28)

By using the normal approximation of binomial probability,

$P(x=a) = P(a-1/2 \leq x \leq a+1/2)$

∴ $P(x=28) = P(28-1/2 \leq x \leq 28+1/2)$

                   $=P(27.5 \leq x \leq 28.5)$

That is the area between 27.5 and 28.5

Therefore, the correct option is (e). Area between 27.5 and 28.5

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with the dimensions: base 3 1 2 cm, height 1 1 2 cm, and length 5 1 2 cm?
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The volume of a rectangular prism is 28\frac{7}{8}\ cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the rectangular prism is equal to

V=BHL

Convert the given dimensions to an improper fractions

B=3\frac{1}{2}\ cm=\frac{3*2+1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}\ cm

H=1\frac{1}{2}\ cm=\frac{1*2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\ cm

L=5\frac{1}{2}\ cm=\frac{5*2+1}{2}=\frac{11}{2}\ cm

substitute in the formula

V=(\frac{7}{2})(\frac{3}{2})(\frac{11}{2})=\frac{231}{8}\ cm^{3}

Convert to mixed number

\frac{231}{8}=\frac{224}{8}+\frac{7}{8}=28\frac{7}{8}\ cm^{3}
