Answer:

The desired radius is r = 7.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere of radius r is V = (4/3)πr³. A hemisphere is half a full sphere, so the formula for the volume of a hemisphere of radius r is (4/3)(1/2)πr³, or (2/3)πr³.

We know that the volume of the hemisphere is 885 in³:

885 in³ = (2/3)πr³ and need to solve this first for r³ and then for r.

This is equivalent to:

885 in³ = (2π/3)r³.

We can now isolate r³ by multiplying both sides of this equation by (3 / [2π]):

(3 / [2π])(885 in³) = (3 / [2π])(2π/3)r³ = r³

Then r³ = 422.556 in³

Finally, we find the desired hemisphere radius by taking the cube root of both sides of the above equation:

r = ∛(422.556 in³) = 7.5 in (which is to the nearest tenth of an inch)

The desired radius is r = 7.5 inches

g The downtime per day for a computing facility has mean 4 hours and standard deviation 0.9 hour. What assumptions must be true

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

To obtain a valid approximation for probabilities about the average daily downtime, either the underlying distribution(of the downtime per day for a computing facility) must be normal, or the sample size must be of 30 or more.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$
