A child's tent can be modeled as a pyramid with a square base whose sides measure 60 inches and whose height measures 84 inches.

What is the volume of the tent, to the nearest cubic foot?

Answer: 58 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The sides of the square base of the pyramid (s)= 60 inches

In foot , the sides of the square base of the pyramid (s)= $\dfrac{60}{12}=5\ ft$

The height of the pyramid = 84 inches

In feet, height of the pyramid = $\dfrac{84}{12}=7\ ft$

We know that the volume of a square pyramid is given by ;-

$\text{Volume}=\dfrac{1}{3}s^2h\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Volume}=\dfrac{1}{3}(5)^2(7)\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Volume}=58.3333333\approx58\ ft^3$

Hence, the volume of the tent =58 cubic feet

Answer:

The volume of the tent is $100,800\ in^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the square pyramid (child's tent) is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}b^{2}h$

we have

$b=60\ in$

$h=84\ in$

substitute

$V=\frac{1}{3}(60^{2})(84)=100,800\ in^{3}$

Maria looked at the architectural plan of a room with four walls in which the walls meet each other at right angles. The length

babymother [125]

Using the Pythagorean theorm,
a^2 + b^2 = C^2, where a nd b are the side lengths and c is the hypotenuse ( diagonal line)

If it was a square both sides would be the same length so we would have:
13^2 +13^2 = c^2
169 + 169 = c^2
338 = c^2

c = SQRT(338) = 18.38

18.38 is larger than the 15.26 given in the problem , so the room is not a square.

Customers arrive at a movie theater at the advertised movie time only to find that they have to sit through several previews and

Answer:

Using a 90% confidence level

A. A sample size of 68 should be used.

B. A sample size of 98 should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think there was a small typing mistake and the confidence level was left out. I will use a 90% confidence level.

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.05 = 0.95$ , so $z = 1.645$

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

A. If we want to estimate the population mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 72 seconds, what sample size should be used?

We have the standard deviation in minutes, so the margin of error should be in minutes.

72 seconds is 72/60 = 1.2 minutes.

So we need a sample size of n, and n is found when M = 1.2. We have that $\sigma = 6$ . So

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$1.2 = 1.645*\frac{6}{\sqrt{n}}$

$1.2\sqrt{n} = 6*1.645$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{6*1.645}{1.2}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{6*1.645}{1.2})^{2}$

$n = 67.65$

Rounding up.

A sample size of 68 should be used.

B. If we want to estimate the population mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 1 minute, what sample size should be used?

Same logic as above, just use M = 1.

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$1 = 1.645*\frac{6}{\sqrt{n}}$

$\sqrt{n} = 6*1.645$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (6*1.645)^2$

$n = 97.42$

Rounding up

A sample size of 98 should be used.
