Answer:

1131 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an unloaded truck and trailer, with the driver aboard, weighs 30,000 pounds. When fully loaded, the truck holds 26 pallets of cargo, and each of the 18 tires of the fully loaded semi-truck bears approximately 3,300 pounds.

First of all, we will find weight of 18 tires by multiplying 18 by 3,300 as:

$\text{Weight of tires of the fully loaded semi-truck}=18\times 3,300$

$\text{Weight of tires of the fully loaded semi-truck}=59,400$

The weight of 26 pallets would be weight of 18 tires minus weight of unloaded truck.

$\text{Weight of 26 pallets of cargo}=59,400-30,000$

$\text{Weight of 26 pallets of cargo}=29,400$

Now, we will divide 29,400 by 26 to find average weight of one pallet of cargo.

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}=\frac{29,400}{26}$

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}=1130.769230769$

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}\approx 1131$

Therefore, the average weight of one pallet of cargo is approximately 1131 pounds.

kow [346]

Given:

$\dfrac{dr}{dt}=1.4\text{ in/s}$

$\dfrac{dh}{dt}=-2.1\text{ in/s}$

To find:

The rate of change in volume at $r=120\text{ in. and }175\text{ in.}$

Solution:

We know that, volume of a cone is

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

Differentiate with respect to t.

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi\times \left[(r^2\dfrac{dh}{dt}) + h(2r\dfrac{dr}{dt})\right]$

Substitute the given values.

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times \left[(120)^2(-2.1) +175(2)(120)(1.4)\right]$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{22}{21}\times \left[-30240+58800\right]$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{22}{21}\times 28560$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}=29920$

Therefore, the volume of decreased by 29920 cubic inches per second.

The fraction of defective integrated circuits produced in a photolithography process is being studied. A random sample of 300 ci

Olenka [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is

(0.0128, 0.0532)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence interval $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

Z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$

For this problem, we have that:

In a random sample of 300 circuits, 10 are defective. This means that $n = 300$ and $\pi = \frac{10}{300} = 0.033$

Calculate a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the fraction of defective circuits produced by this particular tool.

So $\alpha$ = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{300}} = 0.033 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.033*0.967}{300}} = 0.0128$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{300}} = 0.033 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.033*0.967}{300}} = 0.0532$

The correct answer is

(0.0128, 0.0532)

On an algebra test, the highest grade was 42 points higher than the lowest grade. The sum of the two grades was 138. Find the lo

miv72 [106K]

you could use this equation to help you solve it;

x + (x + 42) = 138

the first step is to combine like terms;

2x = 138 -42

2x = 96

X = 96/2

X = 48

we already solved for x now substitute it in the equation I gave you.

48 + (48 + 42) = 138

48 + 90 = 138

hope it helped...if you have any concerns just let me know:)
