If represented in a stem-and-leaf plot, what would be the stem of the number 1457?

Margaret wants to cover a footrest in the shape of a rectangular prism with cotton fabric. The footrest is 18 in. 12 in. 10 in.

Answer:

No, she cannot completely cover the footrest.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find the total surface area of the prism to be covered using the cotton cloth

the total surface area of the prism is

A = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw,

l is the length of the prism = 18 in,

w= width of the prism = 12 in,

h is the height of the prism = 10 in

hence $A = 2(12 \times 18 ) + 2(18 \times 10) + 2(10 \times 12)=1032in^{2}$

We need to convert the area of the fabric to be in the same unit as that of the prism

Area of cotton fabric = $1 yd^{2}= 1296 in ^{2}$

since the surface area of the foot rest is more than the area of fabric she has, she cannot completely cover the footrest

The physical plant at the main campus of a large state university receives daily requests to replace fluorescent light bulbs. Th

ankoles [38]

We have been given that the distribution of the number of daily requests is bell-shaped and has a mean of 38 and a standard deviation of 6. We are asked to find the approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 38 and 56.

First of all, we will find z-score corresponding to 38 and 56.

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$z=\frac{38-38}{6}=\frac{0}{6}=0$

Now we will find z-score corresponding to 56.

$z=\frac{56-38}{6}=\frac{18}{6}=3$

We know that according to Empirical rule approximately 68% data lies with-in standard deviation of mean, approximately 95% data lies within 2 standard deviation of mean and approximately 99.7% data lies within 3 standard deviation of mean that is $-3\sigma\text{ to }3\sigma$ .
