Answer:

There are 50 pages in the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Martin has read 40% of the book.

Remaining percent = (100 - 40)% = 60%

Number of pages left to finish = 30

Let,

x be the total number of pages in the book.

60% of x = 30

$\frac{60}{100}x=30$

0.6x = 30

Dividing both sides by 0.6

$\frac{0.6x}{0.6}=\frac{30}{0.6}\\x= 50$

Hence,

There are 50 pages in the book.

In a sample of 115 115 curtains, the average length was found to be 32.2in. 32.2 ⁢ in. With a standard deviation of 0.8 0.8 . Gi

pentagon [3]

Answer:

The point estimate for the population standard deviation of the length of the curtains is 8.58in.

Step-by-step explanation:

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:

$s = 0.8, n = 115$

The point estimate for the population standard deviation of the length of the curtains is $\sigma$ . So

$s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$\sigma = s\sqrt{n}$

$\sigma = 0.8\sqrt{115}$

$\sigma = 8.58$

The point estimate for the population standard deviation of the length of the curtains is 8.58in.

Answer:

$0.0239\frac{in^{3}}{min}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must start by drawing a diagram of the cylinder. (See attached picture)

This diagram will help us visualize the problem better.

So we start by determining what data we already know:

Height=6in

Diameter=3.8in

Radius = 1.9 in (because the radius is half the length of the diameter)

The problem also states that the radius will increase on thousandth of an inch every 3 minutes. We can find the velocity at which the radius is increasing with this data:

$r'=\frac{1/1000in}{3min}$

which yields:

$r'=\frac{1}{3000}\frac{in}{min}$

with this information we can start solving the problem.

First, the problem wants us to know how fast the volume is increasing, so in order to find that we need to start with the volume formula for a cylinder, which is:

$V=\pi r^{2}h$
