We would be using conversion rates and dimensional analysis to solve this question.

The average weight of the chimpanzee in pounds is 114.73 lb

Step 1: 1 kg = 1000 g

Convert 52 kg to grams

1 kg = 1000g

52 kg = ?

Cross Multiply

52 kg x 1000g / 1 kg

= 52,000g

Step 2: Convert from grams to ounce

1 gram = 0.0353 ounce

52,000 g = ?

Cross Multiply

52,000g x 0.0353

= 1,835.60 ounces

Step 3: Convert from 0unces to pounds

16 oz = 1 lb

1835.6 = ?

Cross Multiply

1835.6 oz x 1 lb / 16

= 114.73 lb

Step 4: Using Dimensional analysis:

52 kg x  1000g/1 kg  x  0.0353 oz/ 1 gram  x  1 lb/16 0z  

= 114.73 lb

Therefore, the average weight of the chimpanzee in pounds is 114.73 lb.

Answer:

The distance between the art gallery and the office supply store is 42 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the segment that joins the office store with the art gallery, has a length that equal the distance between the art gallery and the bank, plus the distance between the bank and the office supply store. That is;

32.1 mi + 9.9 mi = 42 mi

A woman takes 121212 equal-sized steps. She walks a total of 10 \text { yards}10 yards10, start text, space, y, a, r, d, s, end
kramer

Answer:

30 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

She takes 12 equal sized steps and they all add up to 10 yards.

The length of each step (in yards) is:

10 / 12 = 5/6 yards

The question requires the answer in inches, therefore, we must convert this to inches:

1 yard = 36 inches

5/6 yards = 5/6 * 36 = 30 inches

Each step is 30 inches long.

Although cities encourage carpooling to reduce traffic congestion, most vehicles carry only one person. For example, 64% of vehi
ira [324]

Answer:

a) 0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

b) 0.996 is the probability that more than half of the vehicles  carry just one person.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

A) Binomial distribution

We treat vehicle on road with one passenger as a success.

P(success) = 64% = 0.64

Then the number of vehicles follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

We have to evaluate:

P(x \geq 6) = P(x =6) +...+ P(x = 10) \\= \binom{10}{6}(0.64)^6(1-0.64)^4 +...+ \binom{10}{10}(0.64)^{10}(1-0.79)^0\\=0.7291

0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

B) By normal approximation

Sample size, n = 92

p = 0.64

\mu = np = 92(0.64) = 58.88

\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{92(0.64)(1-0.64)} = 4.60

We have to evaluate the probability that more than 47 cars carry just one person.

P(x \geq 47)

After continuity correction, we will evaluate

P( x \geq 46.5) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{46.5 - 58.88}{4.60}) = P(z > -2.6913)

= 1 - P(z \leq -2.6913)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 46.5) = 1 - 0.004 = 0.996 = 99.6\%

0.996 is the probability that more than half out of 92 vehicles carry just one person.

Which inequality is true when x = 4?
elena-s [515]

Answer:

x + 5 < 3

Step-by-step explanation:

One inequality could be x > 3. So when x = 4 this is true because 4 is greater than 3.
