A closed rectangular box whose dimensions are 8 feet by 5 feet by 3 feet has some water in it. When the box is resting on its sm

Answer:

i, 1.875 ft

ii. Since the volume of water is the same when resting on either the smallest or largest face, we we equate the expression for their volume and solve for the depth of water when the closed rectangular box is resting on its largest face.

Step-by-step explanation:

i. How deep will the water be if the box is resting on its largest face?

Since the smallest face is 5 feet by 3 feet (since they are the smallest dimensions), the volume of the 5 feet deep water is V = Ah where A = area of smallest face and h = depth of water.

V = Ah = 5 ft × 3 ft × 5 ft = 75 ft³

This is also the volume of the water when it is resting on its largest face.

Since the dimensions of the largest face are 8 feet by 5 feet (since they are the largest dimensions), then V = A'h' where A' = area of largest face and h' = depth of water when rectangular box is resting on its largest face

So, h' = V/A'

= 75 ft³/ (8 ft × 5 ft)

= 15/8 ft

= 1.875 ft

ii, Explain your reasoning.

Since the volume of the water in the closed rectangular box is always the same, which ever side we turn it to, its volume V = area of face × height. If we write this expression for both the smallest and largest face and equate them, we solve for the depth of the water when it is resting on its largest face, since, we already know the depth of water when it is resting on its smallest face.

In a recent year, the ACT scores for the math portion of the test were normally distributed, with a mean of 21.1 and a standard
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

a) P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel:

P(z

b) P(19

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.396

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-0.396

c) P(X>26)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{26-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{26-21.1}{5.3})=P(z>0.925)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel:

P(z>0.925)=1- P(Z

d) We can consider unusual events values above or below 2 deviations from the mean

Lower = \mu -2*\sigma = 21.1 -2*5.3 =10.5

A value below 10.5 can be consider as unusual

Upper = \mu +2*\sigma = 21.1 +2*5.3 =31.7

A value abovr 31.7 can be consider as unusual

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(21.1,5.3)  

Where \mu=21.1 and \sigma=5.3

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel:

P(z

Part b

P(19

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.396

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-0.396

Part c

P(X>26)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{26-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{26-21.1}{5.3})=P(z>0.925)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel:

P(z>0.925)=1- P(Z

Part d

We can consider unusual events values above or below 2 deviations from the mean

Lower = \mu -2*\sigma = 21.1 -2*5.3 =10.5

A value below 10.5 can be consider as unusual

Upper = \mu +2*\sigma = 21.1 +2*5.3 =31.7

A value abovr 31.7 can be consider as unusual

Will give brainless if answered now
8090 [49]

Answer:

The one opposite of 100°, as the bigger the angle, the bigger the opposing side, is the biggest.

By the same logic, the one opposite 45° is the next biggest.

Continuing with that, the one opposite the black one (which would equal 35°, I think) is the smallest.

What is the slope of (3,5) and (1,3)
Maksim231197 [3]
(3,5)....x1 = 3 and y1 = 5
(1,3)....x2 = 1 and y2 = 3

slope formula : (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (3 - 5) / (1 - 3) = -2/-2 = 1 <== slope is 1

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that goes through the points
Stella [2.4K]

Answer: The equation in slope-intercept form is y=2x-11

Step-by-step explanation: Slope-intercept is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope, you find the difference between the y values divided by the difference between the x values. -5-(-9) = 4, and 3-1 is 2. 4/2 is 2, so m = 2. Since the slope is 2, it states for every x you move on the right you move 2 up. But we are trying to get the y-intercept, so x = 0. We are subtracting 1 in our x value, so we move 2 downwards. We subtract 2 from -9 which gives us -11, which is our y-intercept.

Hope this helps!

PLEASE HELP! Explain your answer, THANK YOU!
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

-2/-3

Step-by-step explanation:

(75, 60) (45, 40)

75       60               since 75 is larger than 45, we subtract = -30

45       40               since 60 is larger than 40, we subtract = -20

= -20/-30

reduce

= -2/-3
