A carpenter has two pieces of wood. He wants to find the density of each piece.
laila [671]

Answer:

The wood from the birch tree has a greater density than the wood that came from the cypress tree.

Step-by-step explanation:

Density formula: mass/volume

2 times 4 times 3=24 meters for the volume

Birch tree: 16/24 is the density

3 times 5 times 2=30 meters for the volume

Cypress tree: 15.3/30 is the density

If we convert the densities of each piece of wood to decimal it will be easier to determine which has a greater density.

So birch tree: 0.6 repeating is the density

Cypress tree: 0.51 is the density

Therefore the wood that came from the birch tree has a greater density than the wood that came from the cypress tree.

Hope I helped, have a nice day :)

A rectangular storage container with an open top is to have avolume
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Dimensions of the container:

x = 3 m

y = 6 m

h = 1.1 m

C(min) = 270 $

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of storage container

V = 20 m³

Let  "y" be the length    and  "x" the width   then y = 2*x

V = x*y*h    ⇒  V = 2*x²*h      ⇒   20 = 2*x²+h      ⇒  h  =  10/ x²

Costs:

Total cost = cost of base  ( 5*2*x² )  + cost of side with base x  ( 2*9*x*h) +

cost of side witn base y =2x   (2*9*2x*h)

C(t)  = 10*x²  +  18*x*h  +  36*x*h

C(x)  = 10x²  + 54*x*10/x²      ⇒  C(x)  10*x²   +  540 /x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

C´(x)  =  20*x  -  540/x²

C´(x)  =  0        ⇒  20*x  -  540/x²  =  0   ⇒  2x  - 54/x²   = 0

2x³ - 54  = 0

x³  = 27       x  =  3 m

Then  y  =  2*x    ⇒ y = 2*3   y = 6     and  h  =  10 / x²       h  = 1.1 m

And the minimum cost is

C (min)  =  10*x²  +  540/x     ⇒      C (min)  =  90 + 180

C(min) = 270 $

In a large population, about 10% of people do not like the taste of cilantro, an herb used in cooking. A researcher takes a rand
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

0.0019390

Step-by-step explanation:

10% of people do not like the taste of cilantro

A researcher takes a random sample of 15 people and surveys whether they like cilantro

Use the binomial distribution to compute the probability that exactly 6 of the people in the sample do not like cilantro.

Probability of success = 0.10 = p

Probability of failure = 0.9 =q

n = 15

r = 6

Formula : P(X=r)=^nC_rp^r q^{n-r}

P(X=6)=^{15}C_6 (0.1)^6 (0.9)^{15-6}

P(X=6)=\frac{15!}{6!(15-6)!} (0.1)^6 (0.9)^{15-6}

P(X=6)=0.0019390

Hence  the probability that exactly 6 of the people in the sample do not like cilantro is 0.0019390
