Halloween Candy Halloween is Kelly's favorite holiday of the year! Based on experience, Kelly knows that on average, each house

gives him about 4 candies with a standard deviation of 1.5 candies. Each year Kelly visits 35 random houses in his neighborhood. Let X be the total number of candies Kelly will receive from his visits. Last Halloween, Kelly got 122 candies. Approximate the probability that the total number of candies Kelly will receive this year is smaller than last year.

Using the <u>normal distribution and the central limit theorem</u>, it is found that there is an approximately 0% probability that the total number of candies Kelly will receive this year is smaller than last year.

Normal Probability Distribution

In a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

  • It 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, which is the percentile of X.
  • By the Central Limit Theorem, for n instances of a normal variable, the mean is n\mu while the standard deviation is s = \sigma\sqrt{n}.

In this problem:

  • Mean of 4 candies, hence \mu = 4.
  • Standard deviation of 1.5 candies, hence \sigma = 1.5.
  • She visited 35 houses, hence n = 35, \mu = 35(4) = 140, s = 1.5\sqrt{4} = 3

The probability is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 122</u>, hence:

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{122 - 140}{3}

Z = -6

Z = -6 has a p-value of 0.

Approximately 0% probability that the total number of candies Kelly will receive this year is smaller than last year.

What is the area of the figure:
Luba_88 [7]

For this case we have that the area of the triangle is given by:

A = \frac {b * h} {2}

Where:

b: It's the base

h: It's the height

We have to:

cos (45) = \frac {b} {24}\\b = 24 * cos (45)\\b = \frac {\sqrt {2}} {2} * 24\\b = 12 \sqrt {2}

The atura will be given by:

sin (45) = \frac {h} {24}\\h = 24 * sin (45)\\h = \frac {\sqrt {2}} {2} * 24\\h = 12 \sqrt {2}

So, the area is:

A = \frac {12 \sqrt {2} * 12 \sqrt {2}} {2}\\A=\frac{(12\sqrt{2})^2}{2}\\A = 144

Answer:

144

Find the surface area of each figure.
timurjin [86]

Answer:

For a cylinder of radius R and height H, the surface area is given by:

A = 4*pi*R^2 + H*(2*pi*R)

Where pi = 3.14

We can just use that formula for each one of the given cylinders.

1) We can see that the diameter is 10 yd, and the radius is half of the diameter, then the radius is:

R = 10yd/2 = 5yd

And the height is 3yd, then H = 3yd

Replacing these in the area equation, we get:

A = 4*3.14*(5 yd)^2 + 3yd*(2*3.14*5yd) = 408.2 yd^2

2) Here we can see that the diameter is 24 cm, then the radius is:

R = 24cm/2 = 12cm

And the height is H = 10cm

Then the area is:

A = 4*3.14*(12 cm)^2 + 10cm*(2*3.14*12cm) = 2,562.24 cm^2

3) In this case we have a radius equal to 12 cm, and a height equal to 7 cm, then the area is:

A = 4*3.14*(12 cm)^2 + 7cm*(2*3.14*12cm) = 2,336.16cm^2

4) Here is hard to see the measures, I think that here we have:

diameter = 8m

Then R = 8m/2 = 4m

And the height is also 8m, H = 8m

Then the area is:

A = 4*3.14*(4 m)^2 + 8 m*(2*3.14*4m) =401.92 m^2
