An aquarium holds 33.75 gallons of water. it has a length of 2 feet and a height of 1.5 feet. What is the volume of the aquarium

I am Lyosha [343]

Assuming that the aquarium is rectangular, the formula to work out the volume would be
V = L x H x D
Considering that 1 gallon = 231 inches³
Multiply both by 33.75 to get the total number of inches³ (volume)
231 x 33.75 = 7796.25 inches³

If you also want the depth, read on...

Also, there are 12 inches in one foot
Length = 2 x 12 = 24 inches
Height = 1.5 x 12 = 18 inches

Now we can fill in the information we know

7796.25 = 24 x 18 x D
To work out D, we divide the volume by the values we know
7796.25 / 18 = <span>433.125
433.125 / 24 = </span><span>18.046875 inches
</span>18.046875 / 12 = 1.50390625 feet
To the nearest 2d.p. ≈ 1.5 feet

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

a) 59.10% probability that 12 or fewer fish were caught.

b) 99.74% probability that 5 or more fish were caught.

c) 58.84% probability that between 5 and 12 fish were caught.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 29, p = 0.41$

So

$\mu = E(X) = np = 29*0.41 = 11.89$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = 2.6486$

Find the following probabilities.

a) 12 or fewer fish were caught.

Using continuity correction, this is $P(X \leq 12 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 12.5)$ , which is the pvalue of Z when X = 12.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{12.5 - 11.89}{2.6486}$

$Z = 0.23$

$Z = 0.23$ has a pvalue of 0.5910

59.10% probability that 12 or fewer fish were caught.

b) 5 or more fish were caught.

Using continuity correction, this is $P(X \geq 5 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 4.5)$ , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 4.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{4.5 - 11.89}{2.6486}$

$Z = -2.79$

$Z = -2.79$ has a pvalue of 0.0026

1 - 0.0026 = 0.9974

99.74% probability that 5 or more fish were caught.

c) between 5 and 12 fish were caught.

Using continuity correction, this is $P(5 - 0.5 \leq X \leq 12 + 0.5) = P(4.5 \leq X \leq 12.5)$ , which is the pvalue of Z when X = 12.5 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 4.5. So.

From a), when X = 12.5, Z has a pvalue of 0.5910

From b), when X = 4.5, Z has a pvalue of 0.0026.

So

0.5910 - 0.0026 = 0.5884

58.84% probability that between 5 and 12 fish were caught.

What are the zeros of the polynomial function?<br><br> f(x)=x^4+2x^3-16x^2-2x+15

Gennadij [26K]

<h3><u>(x + 1)(x - 1)(x + 5)(x - 3) is the fully factored form of the polynomial.</u></h3><h3><u>The zeros are (-1, 0), (1, 0), (-5, 0), and (3, 0).</u></h3>

x^4 + 2x^3 - 16x^2 - 2x + 15

We can use the rational roots theorem to find some of the possible roots, and after finding just one root, we can simplify this polynomial.

List factors of 15:

1, 3, 5, 15.

List factors of 1:

1.

Our possible rational factors are:

+/- 1, +/- 3, +/- 5, +/- 15.

To find factors, we can use the remainder theorem.

Replace all x values with 1.

1^4 + 2(1)^3 - 16(1)^2 - 2(1) + 15 = 0

Because the answer is zero, it means that 1 is a root.

We can divide this polynomial by x - 1 to find a simplified form.

After dividing, our quotient is: x^3 + 3x^2 - 13x - 15

We can continue finding factors by using the rational roots theorem. Once we have only three terms, we can try to factor using the AC method.

Our next possible root is -1.

(-1)^3 + 3(-1)^2 - 13(-1) - 15 = 0

We know that -1 is also a root, and so we can divide the polynomial by x + 1.

After diving we're left with x^2 + 2x - 15.

Now, we can try to factor using the AC method.

List factors of -15.

1 * -15

-1 * 15

3 * -5

-3 * 5 (these digits satisfy the criteria.)

Split the middle term.

x^2 - 3x + 5x - 15

Factor binomials.

x(x - 3) + 5(x - 3)

Rearrange binomials.

(x + 5)(x - 3)

Add in the two factors we already factored out.

(x - 1)(x + 1)(x + 5)(x - 3)
