Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us assign a variable x, for the (blank) in the problem.

Next, converting the question into a math equation, we get:

125% * x = 85.

Solving for x, we get:

1.25x = 85

x = 68.

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

No, the cone will not hold all of the ice cream.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

" According to the Joy Cone Company, their waffle cones have a diameter of 2 5/8 inches and a height of 6 inches.

If you place one scoops of ice cream (in the shape of a sphere) with a diameter of 2 7/8 inches would let it melt.

Now, to explain mathematically will the cone hold all of the ice cream.

Taking the value of π = 3.14.

So, to get the volume of waffle cone we put formula:

Height (h) = 6 inches.

Diameter = $2\frac{5}{8}=\frac{21}{8}\ inches.$

Thus radius (r) = Diameter ÷ 2 = $\frac{\frac{21}{8}}{2} =\frac{21}{16} \ inches.$

$Volume=\pi r^2\frac{h}{3}$

$Volume=3.14\times \frac{21}{16} \times \frac{21}{16} \times \frac{6}{3}$

$Volume=3.14\times 1.31\times 1.31\times 2$

$Volume=10.78\ inches^3.$

The volume of waffle cone = 10.78 inches³.

Now, to get the volume of scoop which is in the shape of sphere we put formula:

Diameter = $2\frac{7}{8} =\frac{23}{8} \ inches.$

Thus radius (r) = Diameter ÷ 2 $=\frac{\frac{23}{8}}{2} =\frac{23}{16} \ inches.$

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14\times \frac{23}{16} \times \frac{23}{16} \times \frac{23}{16}$

$Volume=1.33\times 3.14\times 1.44\times 1.44\times 1.44$

$Volume=12.47\ inches^3.$

The volume of one scoop of ice cream = 12.47 inches³.

So, as the volume of scoop of ice cream is more than the volume of cone.

Thus, if placing one scoop of ice cream in the cone and let it melt, the cone will not hold all of the ice cream.

Therefore, no the cone will not hold all of the ice cream.

A game consists of rolling a colored die with three red sides, two green sides, and one blue side. A roll of a red loses. A roll

Pavel [41]

The expected value of the game is $2.00.

To Find: The fair price to pay to play the game of rolling a colored die with three red sides, two green sides, and one blue side

Now the question arises how to find the Fair Price

We are told that in the game of rolling the colored die;

A roll of a red loses.

A roll of blue pays 5.00 and A roll of green pays 2.00.

Now, the best game to get the fairest price is to play; RRRGGB i.e (RED, RED, RED, GREEN, GREEN,BLUE)

Fair price = 2(3/6) + 6(1/6) + 0(2/6)

Fair price = $2

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{1.64(14.7)}{3})^2 =64.57 \approx 65$

So the answer for this case would be n=65 rounded up to the nearest integer

And the sample size would decrease by 160-65=95 subjects

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

ME represent the margin of error

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

2) Solution to the problem

Since the new Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$
