Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, the empirical rule states that for a normally distributed random variable,

  • 68.27% of the data lies within one standard deviation of the mean.

  • 95.45% of the data lies within two standard deviations of the mean.

  • 99.73% of the data lies within three standard deviations of the mean.

In mathematical notation, as shown in the figure below (for a standard normal distribution), the empirical rule is described as

                             \Phi(\mu \ - \ \sigma \ \leq X \ \leq \mu \ + \ \sigma) \ = \ 0.6827 \qquad (4 \ \text{s.f.}) \\ \\ \\ \Phi(\mu \ - \ 2\sigma \ \leq X \ \leq \mu \ + \ 2\sigma) \ = \ 0.9545 \qquad (4 \ \text{s.f.}) \\ \\ \\ \Phi}(\mu \ - \ 3\sigma \ \leq X \ \leq \mu \ + \ 3\sigma) \ = \ 0.9973 \qquad (4 \ \text{s.f.})

where the symbol \Phi (the uppercase greek alphabet phi) is the cumulative density function of the normal distribution, \mu is the mean and \sigma is the standard deviation of the normal distribution defined as N(\mu, \ \sigma).

According to the empirical rule stated above, the interval that contains the prices of 99.7% of college textbooks for a normal distribution N(113, \ 12),

                \Phi(113 \ - \ 3 \ \times \ 12 \ \leq \ X \ \leq \ 113 \ + \ 3 \ \times \ 12) \ = \ 0.9973 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1.75cm} \Phi(113 \ - \ 36 \ \leq \ X \ \leq \ 113 \ + \ 36) \ = \ 0.9973 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{3.95cm} \Phi(77 \ \leq \ X \ \leq \ 149) \ = \ 0.9973

Therefore, the price of 99.7% of college textbooks falls inclusively between $77 and $149.

The answer of the larger circle = 254.34
Formula = radius*radius*π

The answer of the smaller circle = 113.04

254.34 - 113.04 = 141.3

Hope this helped☺☺

Answer:

\displaystyle   {r}^{}  = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

remember that,

\displaystyle V _{ \rm sphere} =  \frac{4}{3} \pi {r}^{3}

given that,

  • V=288π

thus substitute:

\displaystyle   \frac{4}{3} \pi {r}^{3}  = 288\pi

divide both sides by 4/3π:

\displaystyle   {r}^{3}  = 216

cubic root both sides:

\displaystyle   {r}^{}  = 6

and we are done!
