The maintenance department at the main campus of a large state university receives daily requests to replace fluorescent light b

ulbs. The distribution of the number of daily requests is bell-shaped and has a mean of 43 and a standard deviation of 11. Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, what is the approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 10 and 43

Answer:

The approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 10 and 43 is of 49.85%.

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.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 43

Standard deviation = 11

The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that 50% of the measures are below the mean and 50% are above the mean.

What is the approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 10 and 43?

43 is the mean

10 = 43 - 3*11

So 10 is 3 standard deviations below the mean.

Of the 50% of measures below the mean, 99.7% are between 3 standard deviations below the mean(10) and the mean(43). So

0.5*0.997 = 0.4985.

0.4985*100% = 49.85%.

The approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 10 and 43 is of 49.85%.

Calculate (A⃗ ×B⃗ )⋅C⃗ for the three vectors A⃗ with magnitude A = 5.08 and angle θA = 25.6 ∘ measured in the sense from the +x
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

(A⃗ ×B⃗ )⋅C⃗ = - 76.415

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to calculate (A⃗ ×B⃗ ) :

(A⃗ ×B⃗ ) = A.B.sin (α).n

Where A is the magnitude of A⃗

Where B is the magnitude of B⃗

Where α is the angle between A⃗ and B⃗ = 63.9 - 25.6 = 38.3

Finally n is the vector orthogonal to A⃗ and B⃗

n magnitude is 1 and his direction is given by the right hand-rule

so n = ( 0 , 0 , 1 )

(A⃗ ×B⃗ ) = A.B.sin (α).n = 5.08 . 3.94 . sin (38.3) . (0 , 0 , 1 ) = (0,0,12.4)

C⃗ can be written as C.(0,0,-1) because of his +z - direction

C.(0,0,-1) = 6.16.(0,0,-1) = (0,0,-6.16)

(A⃗ ×B⃗ )⋅C⃗ = (0,0,12.4).(0,0,-6.16) = -76.41480787 = -76.415

Sum of exterior angles in a polygon?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

360

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angles always add up to 360 in a polygon because it's the sum of all the vertexes which would make a circle.

mina [271]

Answer:

centre = (\frac{3}{2}, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

using the midpoint formula

midpoint = [\frac{1}{2}(- 1 + 4), \frac{1}{2}(5 - 3) ] = (\frac{3}{2}, 1 )

Why is rounding important?
Alik [6]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounding can make a long number that might be confusing short and easy to understand. D sounds like the right answer but actually rounding isn't the most accurate. Using a fraction is.
