At a sand and gravel plant, sand is falling off a conveyor, and onto a conical pile at a rate of 10 cubic feet per minute. The d

iameter of the base of the cone is approximately three times the altitude. At what rate is the height of the pile changing when the pile is 15 feet high?
I know this is a Calc 1 related rates problem,

Answer:

dh/dt=9.82x10^-3 ft/min

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have that the rate is10 ft³/min. Then:

dV/dt=10

2. The formula for calculate the volume of a cone, is:

V=1/3(πr²h)

"r" is the radius and "h" is the height.

3. The diameter of the base of the cone is approximately 3 times the altitude. Then, the radius is:

r=diameter/2

diameter=3h

r=3h/2

4. When you susbstitute r=3h/2 into the formula V=πr²h/3, you have:

V=1/3(πr²h)

V=1/3(π(3h/2)²(h)

V=1/3(π9h²/4)(h)

V=9πh³/12

5. Therefore:

dV/dt=(9πh²/4)dh/dt

h=12

dV/dt=10

6. When you substitute the values of dV/dt and h into dV/dt=(9π(12)²/4)dh/dt, you have:

dV/dt=(9π(12)²/4)dh/dt

10=(1017.876)

7. Finally, you obtain:

dh/dt=10/1017.876

dh/dt=9.82x10^-3 ft/min

Unknown to a medical researcher, 6 out of 25 patients have a heart problem that will result in death if they receive the test dr

Using the hypergeometric distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0002 = 0.02% probability that exactly 6 patients will die.

<h3>What is the hypergeometric distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • N is the size of the population.
  • n is the size of the sample.
  • k is the total number of desired outcomes.

The values of the parameters for this problem are:

N = 25, k = 6, n = 8.

The probability that exactly 6 patients will die is P(X = 6), hence:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = 6) = h(6,25,8,6) = \frac{C_{6,6}C_{19,2}}{C_{25,8}} = 0.0002

0.0002 = 0.02% probability that exactly 6 patients will die.

I need help in this question if highly appreciate it if someone can help me solve this problem
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The one you chose is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is 1.5. We know QP is 5. QP is the corresponding side to KJ. So, we multiply 5 with 1.5 and get 7.5 which is equal to 15/2

I found the scale factor by dividing LK which was 9 and QR which was 6.

9/6=1.5.

Hope this helps
