Weights measured in grams of randomly selected M&M plain candies:

Mathematics

charle [14.2K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The range of weights of the middle 99.7% of M&M’s is between 0.8187 and 1.0203.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Sample mean:

\overline{x} = \frac{0.957 + 0.912 + 0.925 + 0.886 + 0.920 + 0.958 + 0.915 + 0.914 + 0.947 + 0.939 + 0.842}{11} =  0.9195

Sample standard deviation:

s = \sqrt{\frac{(0.957-0.9195)^2 + (0.912-0.9195)^2 + (0.925-0.9195)^2 + (0.886-0.9195)^2 + ...}{10}} = 0.0336

What is the range of weights of the middle 99.7% of M&M’s?

By the Empirical Rule, within 3 standard deviations of the mean, so:

0.9195 - 3*0.0336 = 0.8187.

0.9195 + 3*0.0336 = 1.0203.

The range of weights of the middle 99.7% of M&M’s is between 0.8187 and 1.0203.

A gardener is planting two types of trees: Type A is 9 feet tall and grows at a rate of 6 inches per year. Type B is 6 feet tall
xenn [34]

It will take exactly 3 years for these trees to be the same height

Step-by-step explanation:

A gardener is planting two types of trees

  • Type A is 9 feet tall and grows at a rate of 6 inches per year.
  • Type B is 6 feet tall and grows at a rate of 18 inches per year.

We need to find exactly how many years it will take for these trees to be the same height

To solve this problem let us make an equation of each type and then equate the two equations to find the number of years

Assume that the two types will have the same heights in x years

∵ Type A is 9 feet tall and grows at a rate of 6 inches per year

- Change the feet to inches

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∴ 9 feet = 9 × 12 = 108 inches

The height of the tree after x years is the sum of the initial height and the product of the rate of growth and the number of years

∵ The rate of growth = 6 inches per year

∵ The number of years = x

∵ The initial height = 108 inches

∴ The height of tree A = 108 + 6 x

∵ Type B is 6 feet tall and grows at a rate of 18 inches per year

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∴ 6 feet = 6 × 12 = 72 inches

∵ The rate of growth = 18 inches per year

∵ The number of years = x

∵ The initial height = 72 inches

∴ The height of tree B = 72 + 18 x

Now equate the two equations to find x

∵ 72 + 18 x = 108 + 6 x

- Subtract 72 from both sides

∴ 18 x = 36 + 6 x

- Subtract 6 x from both sides

∴ 12 x = 36

- Divide both sides by 12

∴ x = 3

It will take exactly 3 years for these trees to be the same height

Hello, can anyone help me by answering all these? Please
kompoz [17]

Answer: See step by step

Step-by-step explanation: For A my 15 statements are.

  1. It has 3 triangles inside it, ACD, ADC, and ABC
  2. It has 2 right triangles, and 1 isoceles
  3. AC≅AB
  4. CD≅DB
  5. D is midpoint of CB
  6. AD⊥CB
  7. Angle CDA=90 degrees
  8. Angle  BDA equal 90 degrees
  9. AD≅AD
  10. ΔCDA≅ΔBDA by any congruence theorem, (SSS, SSA,AAS,ASA, HL)
  11. AD^{2}+ DB^{2}=AB^{2}

 12.AD^{2}+ CD^{2}= AC^{2}

   13. Triangle ABC has a max of 180 degrees.

     14. We can rotate this triangle 180 degrees and it will coincide.

       15. We can reflect triangle ACD over vertical line ACD and it will be congruent to ABD.

 2.  We use pythagorean theorem since it has a right angle.

      AD^{2}+ DB^{2}=AB^{2} Let plug it in.

      40^{2}+b^{2}=45^{2}

        1600+ b^2=2025

      b^2=424

      sqr root of 425 is about 21. Now let find the perimeter.

      AB is 45, Since BD+DC=CB, and they are congruent they are equal so 21+21=42 and AC is congruent to AB so it is 45. So the perimeter is  132.

  For 3. Start at the orgin, then go up 5 on the y-axis so you should be at (0,5)

   Then use the rise over run method to graph it. go left -3 and and up 1. Keep doing that 2 more times then draw a straight line.  

Your 3 point should be

(0,5)

(1,2)

(2,1)

Find the area of the shape shown<br> below.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The area of the figure is 28 units².

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the full rectangle, ignoring the triangle.

a = lw \\ a = 4 \times 8 = 32

Then, find the area of the triangle:

a =  \frac{bh}{2}  \\ a =  \frac{2 \times 4}{2}  \\ a = 4

Finally, subtract:

32 - 4 = 28

Measuring the speed of sound in the ocean is an important part of marine research. One application is the study of climate chang
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

A linear formula for S as a function of D is S=17D+1534

Step-by-step explanation:

We are supposed to find a linear formula for S as a function of D.

Equation of line : y = mx+c

We are given that At the surface, the speed of sound is 1534 meters per second.

c = 1534

We are given that for each increase in depth by 1 km, the speed increases by 17 m/s

So, Slope = m = 17

Substitute the values in equation

y=17x+1534

x denotes depth

y denotes speed

We are given that Use D for depth and S for the speed of sound

So, S=17D+1534

Hence a linear formula for S as a function of D is S=17D+1534
