A truck is being filled with cube-shaped packages that have side lengths of 1/4 foot. The part of the truck that is being filled

n200080 [17]

Answer:

24000 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Side lengths of cube = $\frac{1}{4} \ foot$

The part of the truck that is being filled is in the shape of a rectangular prism with dimensions of 8 ft x 6 1/4 ft x 7 1/2 ft.

Question asked:

What is the greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck?

Solution:

First of all we will find volume of cube, then volume of rectangular prism and then simply divide the volume of prism by volume of cube to find the greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck.

$Volume\ of\ cube =a^{3}$

$=\frac{1}{4} \times\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4} =\frac{1}{64} \ cubic \ foot$

Length = 8 foot, Breadth = $6\frac{1}{4} =\frac{25}{4} \ foot$ , Height = $7\frac{1}{2} =\frac{15}{2} \ foot$

$Volume\ of\ rectangular\ prism =length\times breadth\times height$

$=8\times\frac{25}{4} \times\frac{15}{2} \\=\frac{3000}{8} =375\ cubic\ foot$

The greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck = Volume of prism divided by volume of cube

The greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck = $\frac{375}{\frac{1}{64} } =375\times64=24000\ pieces\ of\ cube$

Thus, the greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck is 24000 pieces.

Suppose the lifetime of a cell phone battery is normally distributed with a mean of 36 months and a standard deviation of 2 mont

solong [7]

Answer:

They should guarantee the lifetime of their batteries for 32 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 36 months and a standard deviation of 2 months.

This means that $\mu = 36, \sigma = 2$

If the company wants to replace no more than 2% of all batteries, for how many months should they guarantee the lifetime of their batteries?

The guarantee should be the 2th percentile of lengths, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.02. So X when Z = -2.054.

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

$-2.054 = \frac{X - 36}{2}$

$X - 36 = -2.054*2$

$X = 31.89$

Rounding to the closest month, 32.

They should guarantee the lifetime of their batteries for 32 months.

therefore, if an item has been discounted by 40%, the discounte is that 40%, what is 40% of the price "p"? (40/100) * p or 0.4p.
