Answer :

x = -1.43

Explanation :

As given ,

The first box has a height (x+5) has a square base with side x

So, the Length and Breadth of the box are x and x respectively.

Now,

The volume of first box = Length×Breadth×Height

                                       = (x).(x).(x+5)

                                       = x²(x+5)

⇒The volume of first box = x²(x+5)

Now,

Given that , the second box with height (x+2) has a square base with side (x+5).

So, the Length and Breadth of the box are (x+5) and (x+5) respectively.

Now,

The volume of second box = Length×Breadth×Height

                                             =  (x+5). (x+5).(x+2)

                                              = (x+5)²(x+2)

⇒The volume of second box =  (x+5)²(x+2)

Now,

Given that,  the two boxes have the same volume

⇒x²(x+5) =  (x+5)²(x+2)

⇒x² =  (x+5)(x+2)

⇒x² =  x² + 2x + 5x + 10

⇒x² - x² =  7x + 10

⇒0 =  7x + 10

⇒ 7x = -10

⇒ x = -\frac{10}{7} = -1.43

⇒ x = -1.43

As volume of first box = x²(x+5) = (-1.43)²(-1.43+5) = 7.30 ≈ 7

As volume of second box =  (x+5)²(x+2) = (-1.43+5)²(-1.43+2) = 7.26 ≈ 7

At x = -1.43, Volume of both the boxes are same.

"is it appropriate to use the normal approximation for the sampling distribution of"
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: Normal approximation can be used for discrete sampling distributions, such as Binomial distribution and Poisson distribution if certain conditions are met.

Step-by-step explanation: We will give conditions under which the Binomial and Poisson distribitions, which are discrete, can be approximated by the Normal distribution. This procedure is called normal approximation.

1. Binomial distribution: Let the sampling distribution be the binomial distribution B(n,p), where n is the number of trials and p is the probability of success. It can be approximated by the Normal distribution with the mean of np and the variance of np(1-p), denoted by N(np,np(1-p)) if the following condition is met:

n>9\left(\frac{1-p}{p}\right)\text{ and } n>9\left(\frac{p}{1-p}\right)

2. Poisson distribution: Let the sampling distribution be the Poisson distribution P(\lambda) where \lambda is its mean. It can be approximated by the Normal distribution with the mean \lambda and the variance \lambda, denoted by N(\lambda,\lambda) when \lambda is large enough, say \lambda>1000 (however, different sources may give different lower value for \lambda but the greater it is, the better the approximation).

How do you do that?????
Elden [556K]
This question is easy once you understand. So when adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing with whole numbers you turn it into a fraction. So 12 is going to become 12/1. 8 1/8 is a mixed number so we have to turn it into an incomplete fraction. Here is how you do it. Multiply the denominator by the who number. So 8 x 8 = 64. Then you add your product to the numerator, which will make it 65. Then after this you keep your denominator giving you 65/8. Now we have to find the common denominator by finding the LCM. So the LCM is 8. Next we divide the old denominator by the new denominator. So 1 goes into 8, 8 times. And next 8 x the numerator. so 8 x 12 = 96. We do the same to the other side. Now we have 96/8 - 65/8 = 31/8. Finally we make this a mixed number. So 31 divided by 8. So you should get 3 7/8. 

I hope this helps! :)

20,10,5, ...<br> Find the 9th term.
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

0.078125.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence with first term a1 = 20 and common ratio r = 10/20 = 5/10 = 0.5.

nth term = a1 r^(n -1) so here:

9th term = 20(0.5)^(9-1)

= 20(0.5)^8

= 0.078125.
