Answer:

C 47.12 L

Step-by-step explanation:

1 gallon = 3.8 liters

12.4 gallons = x

Cross Multiply

= 12.4 × 3.8

47.12 liters

Option C is correct

the volume of a cone is 36π cubic units. What is the volume of a cylinder that has the same base area and the same height?

ExtremeBDS [4]

V_cone = 1/3 pi * r^2 * h
V_cylinder = pi*r^2*h

If you multiply the cone's volume by 3 then you get the cylinder's volume. They become the same formula
3 V_cone = pi r^2 h
Since the cone's volume is 36pi They cylinder's volume is 3*36pi = 108 pi

State A and state B are among the states with the most remaining drive in movie screens. State A has 4 more screens than state B

mojhsa [17]

State A has 25 drive-in movie screens and State B has 21. You find this by guess-and-checking different numbers that you could add together to get 46. You want to do numbers that are relatively close, as a difference in 4 is not much at all. You can divide 46 by 2 and then play around from there.

The scores on the GMAT entrance exam at an MBA program in the Central Valley of California are normally distributed with a mean

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

58.32% probability that a randomly selected application will report a GMAT score of less than 600

93.51% probability that a sample of 50 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600

98.38% probability that a sample of 100 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 591, \sigma = 42$

What is the probability that a randomly selected application will report a GMAT score of less than 600?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 600. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{600 - 591}{42}$

$Z = 0.21$

$Z = 0.21$ has a pvalue of 0.5832

58.32% probability that a randomly selected application will report a GMAT score of less than 600

What is the probability that a sample of 50 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600?

Now we have $n = 50, s = \frac{42}{\sqrt{50}} = 5.94$

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 600. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{600 - 591}{5.94}$

$Z = 1.515$

$Z = 1.515$ has a pvalue of 0.9351

93.51% probability that a sample of 50 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600

What is the probability that a sample of 100 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600?

Now we have $n = 50, s = \frac{42}{\sqrt{100}} = 4.2$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{600 - 591}{4.2}$

$Z = 2.14$

$Z = 2.14$ has a pvalue of 0.9838

98.38% probability that a sample of 100 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600
