Answer:

a. The length of the box = (40 - 2·x) cm

The height of the box = x cm

The width of the box = (25 - 2·x) cm

b. The formula for the volume of the box as a function of x is 4·x³ - 130·x² + 1000·x

c. The value of x that would maximize the volume of the box is x = 5 cm

d. The largest volume of the box is 2250 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The given parameters are;

The length of the cardboard = 40 cm

The width of the cardboard = 25 cm

The length of the box = (40 - 2·x) cm

The height of the box = x cm

The width of the box = (25 - 2·x) cm

b. The formula for the volume of the box = The area of the base of the box × Height of the box

The area of the base of the box =  (40 - 2·x) × (25 - 2·x) = 1000 - 80·x - 50·x + 4·x²

∴ The area of the base of the box = 4·x² - 130·x + 1000

The height of the box = x

The volume of the box = (4·x² - 130·x + 1000) × x = 4·x³ - 130·x² + 1000·x

The volume of the box in terms of x, V = 4·x³ - 130·x² + 1000·x

c. At the extremum point, dV/dx = 12·x² - 260·x + 1000 = 0

x = (260 ± √((-260)² - 4 × 12 × 1000))/(2 × 12)

x = (260 ± 140)/(24)

x = 5 or x = 16.\bar 6

At x = 5, the volume of the box is V = 4×5³ - 130×5² + 1000×5 = 2250

The volume of the box is V = 2250 cm³

At x = 16.67, the volume is 4×16.67³ - 130×16.67² + 1000×16.67 = -925.\overline {925}cm³

Therefore, the value of x that would maximize the volume of the box is x = 5 cm

d. The largest volume of the box is 4×(5 cm)³ - 130×(5 cm)² + 1000×(5 cm) = 2250 cm³.

The standard IQ test has a mean of 97 and a standard deviation of 17. We want to be
densk [106]

Let's call our estimate x. It will be the average of n IQ scores. Our average won't usually exactly equal the mean 97.  But if we repeated averages over different sets of tests, the mean of our estimate the average would be the same as the mean of a single test,

μ = 97

Variances add, so the standard deviations add in quadrature, like the Pythagorean Theorem in n dimensions.  This means the standard deviation of the average x is

σ = 17/√n

We want to be 95% certain

97 - 5 ≤ x ≤ 97 + 5

By the 68-95-99.7 rule, 95% certain means within two standard deviations. That means we're 95% sure that

μ - 2σ ≤ x ≤ μ + 2σ

Comparing to what we want, that's means we have to solve

2σ = 5

2 (17/√n) = 5

√n = 2 (17/5)

n = (34/5)² = 46.24

We better round up.

Answer: We need a sample size of 47 to be 95% certain of being within 5 points of the mean
