Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: The volume of the grain silo can be found by adding the volumes of all the solids of which it is composed (a cylinder and two cones). The silo is made up of a cylinder (with height 10 feet and base radius 5 feet) and two cones (each with height 5 ft and base radius 5 ft). The formulas given at the beginning of the SAT Math section:

Volume of a Cone:

V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h

Volume of a Cylinder:

V=\pi r^2h

can be used to determine the total volume of the silo. Since the two cones have identical dimensions, the total volume, in cubic feet, of the silo is given by

V_{silo} =\pi (5^2)(10)+(2)(\frac{1}{3})\pi (5^2)(5)=(\frac{4}{3})(250)\pi

which is approximately equal to 1,047.2 cubic feet.

<u>The final answer is D.</u>

Answer:

Probability of having student's score between 505 and 515 is 0.36

Given that z-scores are rounded to two decimals using Standard Normal Distribution Table

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know from normal distribution: z(x) = (x - Mu)/SD

where x = targeted value; Mu = Mean of Normal Distribution; SD = Standard Deviation of Normal Distribution

Therefore using given data: Mu (Mean) = 510, SD = 10.4 we have z(x) by using z(x) = (x - Mu)/SD as under:

In our case, we have x = 505 & 515

Approach 1 using Standard Normal Distribution Table:

z for x=505: z(505) = (505-510)/10.4 gives us z(505) = -0.48

z for x=515: z(515) = (515-510)/10.4 gives us z(515) = 0.48

Afterwards using Normal Distribution Tables and rounding the values to two decimals we find the probabilities as under:

P(505) using z(505) = 0.32

Similarly we have:

P(515) using z(515) = 0.68

Now we may find the probability of student's score between 505 and 515 using:

P(505 < x < 515) = P(515)-P(505) = 0.68 - 0.32 = 0.36

PS: The standard normal distribution table is being attached for reference.

Approach 2 using Excel or Google Sheets:

P(x) = norm.dist(x,Mean,SD,Commutative)

P(505) = norm.dist(505,510,10.4,1)

P(515) = norm.dist(515,510,10.4,1)

Probability of student's score between 505 and 515= P(515) - P(505) = 0.36
