A study was designed to investigate the effects of two variables​(1) a​ student's level of mathematical anxiety and​ (2) teachin

g methodon a​ student's achievement in a mathematics course. Students who had a low level of mathematical anxiety were taught using the traditional expository method. These students obtained a mean score of 440 with a standard deviation of on a standardized test. Assuming no information concerning the shape of the distribution is​ known, what percentage of the students scored between 360 and 520 ​?

Using Chebyshev's Theorem, considering a standard deviation of 40, we have that at least 75% of the students scored between 360 and 520.

<h3>What does Chebyshev’s Theorem state?</h3>

When we have no information about the population distribution, Chebyshev's Theorem is used. It states that:

  • At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
  • At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
  • An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by 100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}}).

In this problem, considering a standard deviation of 40, we have that:

440 - 2 x 40 = 360.

440 + 2 x 30 = 520.

Within 2 standard deviations of the mean, no information about the distribution, hence, at least 75% of the students scored between 360 and 520.

in 2009 a total of R36 000 was invested in two accounts. One account earned 7% annual interest and the other earned 9% .The tota
Akimi4 [234]

a = amount invested at 7%

b = amount invested at 9%

we know the amount invested was ₹36000, thus we know that whatever "a" and "b" are, a + b = 36000.  We can also say that

\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{7\% of a}}{\left( \cfrac{7}{100} \right)a}\implies 0.07a~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{9\% of b}}{\left( \cfrac{7}{100} \right)b}\implies 0.09b

since we know the interest earned from the invested was ₹2920, then we say that 0.07a + 0.09b = 2920.

\begin{cases} a + b = 36000\\\\ 0.07a+0.09b=2920 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{using the 1st equation}}{a + b = 36000\implies \underline{b = 36000-a}}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 2nd equation}}{0.07a~~ + ~~0.09(\underline{36000-a})~~ = ~~2920} \\\\\\ 0.07a+3240-0.09a=2920\implies 3240-0.02a=2920\implies -0.02a=-320 \\\\\\ a=\cfrac{-320}{-0.02}\implies \boxed{a=16000}~\hfill \boxed{\stackrel{36000~~ - ~~16000}{20000=b}}

Using differential calculus, maximize the volume of a box made of cardboard (top is open) as shown in Figure A. 15, subject to t
lana [24]

The maximum volume of the box is 40√(10/27) cu in.

Here we see that volume is to be maximized

The surface area of the box is 40 sq in

Since the top lid is open, the surface area will be

lb + 2lh + 2bh = 40

Now, the length is equal to the breadth.

Let them be x in

Hence,

x² + 2xh + 2xh = 40

or, 4xh = 40 - x²

or, h = 10/x - x/4

Let f(x) = volume of the box

= lbh

Hence,

f(x) = x²(10/x - x/4)

= 10x - x³/4

differentiating with respect to x and equating it to 0 gives us

f'(x) = 10 - 3x²/4 = 0

or, 3x²/4 = 10

or, x² = 40/3

Hence x will be equal to 2√(10/3)

Now to check whether this value of x will give us the max volume, we will find

f"(2√(10/3))

f"(x) = -3x/2

hence,

f"(2√(10/3)) = -3√(10/3)

Since the above value is negative, volume is maximum for x = 2√(10/3)

Hence volume

= 10 X 2√(10/3)  -  [2√(10/3)]³/4

= 2√(10/3) [10 - 10/3]

= 2√(10/3) X 20/3

= 40√(10/27) cu in

Answer:

(2) 2,640 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to assume that in this question, you are walking 1 full circle around the reservoir. That would mean you need to calculate the circumference of the circular reservoir.

The circumference formula is:

C = ⫪d

C stands for Circumference

d stands for diameter

I will use 22/7 instead of pi, so the formula looks more like this:

C = (22/7)(d)

The diameter is 840 feet, so we will substitute the variable d with 840:

C = (22/7)(840)

You can plug this part into the calculator, but by hand, it'll look something like this:

(22/7)*840 = (22*840)/7

18,480/7 = 2.640

Hope it helps (●'◡'●)
