Answer:

0.25 feet per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 20 ft3/min. Since we are told that the shape formed is a cone, the rate of change of the volume of the cone.

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}=20$ ft^3/min$

$\text{Volume of a cone}=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

Since base diameter = Height of the Cone

Radius of the Cone = h/2

Therefore,

$\text{Volume of the cone}=\dfrac{\pi h}{3} (\dfrac{h}{2}) ^2 \\V=\dfrac{\pi h^3}{12}$

$\text{Rate of Change of the Volume}, \dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{3\pi h^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}$

Therefore: $\dfrac{3\pi h^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}=20$

We want to determine how fast is the height of the pile is increasing when the pile is 10 feet high.

$h=10$ feet$\\\\\dfrac{3\pi *10^2}{12}\dfrac{dh}{dt}=20\\25\pi \dfrac{dh}{dt}=20\\ \dfrac{dh}{dt}= \dfrac{20}{25\pi}\\ \dfrac{dh}{dt}=0.25$ feet per minute (to two decimal places.)$

When the pile is 10 feet high, the height of the pile is increasing at a rate of 0.25 feet per minute

In Problems 1-8, determine the level of measurement of each variable.

lbvjy [14]

The level of measurement of each given variable are:

1. Ordinal

2. Nominal

3. Ratio

4. Interval

5. Ordinal

6. Nominal

7. Ratio

8. Interval

Level of measurement is used in assigning measurement to variables depending on their attributes.

There are basically four (4) levels of measurement (see image in the attachment):

1. Nominal: Here, values are assigned to variables just for naming and identification sake. It is also used for categorization.

Examples of variables that fall under the measurement are: Favorite movie, Eye Color.

2. Ordinal: This level of measurement show difference between variables and the direction of the difference. In order words, it shows magnitude or rank among variables.

Examples of such variables that fall under this are: highest degree conferred, birth order among siblings in a family.

3. Interval Scale: this third level of measurement shows magnitude, a known equal difference between variables can be ascertain. However, this type of measurement has no true zero point.

Examples of the variables that fall here include: Monthly temperatures, year of birth of college students

4. Ratio Scale: This scale of measurement has a "true zero". It also has every property of the interval scale.

Examples are: ages of children, volume of water used.

Therefore, the level of measurement of each given variable are:

1. Ordinal

2. Nominal

3. Ratio

4. Interval

5. Ordinal

6. Nominal

7. Ratio

8. Interval
