In this instance the distance will be the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle.
x = 300/sin30 = 600

They are 600 ft away from each other

the brain volumes ​(​) of 50 brains vary from a low of to a high of . use the range rule of thumb to estimate the standard devia
Sloan [31]

The estimated standard deviation from the range rule is 145.5 cm3.As it is 29.8 cm3 smaller than the exact standard deviation, we consider that the estimation is not accurate enough.

Generally, brain volumes which are smaller than 921.1 cm3 can be considered significantly low and bigger than 1417.5 cm3 can be considered significantly high. Hence, brain volume of 1457.5 cm3 is bigger than the expected maximum, so it can be considered significantly high.

The calculation goes like this,

According to the range rule, the standard deviation and range, or the distance between the maximum and smallest value, are roughly inversely proportional:

s=R/4

If we have a sample of 50 brains volumes, and they range from 910 cm3 to 1492 cm3, we can estimate the standard deviation as:

s=max-min/4

s=1492-910/4=582/4=145.5

The exact standard deviation is 175.3 cm3.The difference is 175.3-145.5=29.8 cm3, so the estimation is not accurate enough.

The range rule of thumb states that we should anticipate a maximum value that is approximately two standard deviations above the mean and a lowest value that is approximately two standard deviations below the mean. The expected ranges are as follows given our mean volume of 1169.3 cm3 and standard deviation of 124.1 cm3:

Min= M-2s=1169.3-2*124.1=921.1

Max=M+2s=1169.3+2*124.1=1417.5

The brain capacity of 1457.5 cm3 can be regarded as significantly high because it is higher than the predicted maximum.

A punch glass is in the shape of a hemisphere with a radius of 5 cm. If the punch is being poured into the glass so that the cha
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

28.27 cm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Though Process:

  • The punch glass (call it bowl to have a shape in mind) is in the shape of a hemisphere
  • the radius r=5cm
  • Punch is being poured into the bowl
  • The height at which the punch is increasing in the bowl is \frac{dh}{dt} = 1.5
  • the exposed area is a circle, (since the bowl is a hemisphere)
  • the radius of this circle can be written as 'a'
  • what is being asked is the rate of change of the exposed area when the height h = 2 cm
  • the rate of change of exposed area can be written as \frac{dA}{dt}.
  • since the exposed area is changing with respect to the height of punch. We can use the chain rule: \frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{dA}{dh} . \frac{dh}{dt}
  • and since A = \pi a^2 the chain rule above can simplified to \frac{da}{dt} = \frac{da}{dh} . \frac{dh}{dt} -- we can call this Eq(1)

Solution:

the area of the exposed circle is

A =\pi a^2

the rate of change of this area can be, (using chain rule)

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2 \pi a \frac{da}{dt} we can call this Eq(2)

what we are really concerned about is how a changes as the punch is being poured into the bowl i.e \frac{da}{dh}

So we need another formula: Using the property of hemispheres and pythagoras theorem, we can use:

r = \frac{a^2 + h^2}{2h}

and rearrage the formula so that a is the subject:

a^2 = 2rh - h^2

now we can derivate a with respect to h to get \frac{da}{dh}

2a \frac{da}{dh} = 2r - 2h

simplify

\frac{da}{dh} = \frac{r-h}{a}

we can put this in Eq(1) in place of \frac{da}{dh}

\frac{da}{dt} = \frac{r-h}{a} . \frac{dh}{dt}

and since we know \frac{dh}{dt} = 1.5

\frac{da}{dt} = \frac{(r-h)(1.5)}{a}

and now we use substitute this \frac{da}{dt}. in Eq(2)

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2 \pi a \frac{(r-h)(1.5)}{a}

simplify,

\frac{dA}{dt} = 3 \pi (r-h)

This is the rate of change of area, this is being asked in the quesiton!

Finally, we can put our known values:

r = 5cm

h = 2cm from the question

\frac{dA}{dt} = 3 \pi (5-2)

\frac{dA}{dt} = 9 \pi cm/s// or//\frac{dA}{dt} = 28.27 cm/s
