Answer:

6.913 cubic-meters/second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of pyramid is.

$v = \frac{s^2 h}{3} $$

and

$\frac{dv}{dt}=35cubic meters/sec.$

we essentially need to compute derivative at h = 3.

but firs we need to write s in terms of h only, to do that we use the fact that ration of side to height of a pyramid is always constant, which means.

$\frac{S}{h} = \frac{6}{8}= \frac{3}{4}$

solving for s and substituting in Volume function gives.

$v =\frac{3h^{3} }{16}$

and taking derivative with respect to time gives.

$$\frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{9h^2}{16}\frac{dh}{dt}$

but we have been given that piece of information so.

$35 = \frac{9h^2}{16}\frac{dh}{dt}$

at h = 3 in above we have finally.

$\frac{dh}{dt} = 6.913.$

Suppose that we want to investigate whether curfews correlate with differences in grades for students in middle school. We selec

Anton [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Given the variables

X: Curfew of middle school students (Categorized Yes/No)

Y: Average grade of middle school students. (Categorized: A, B, C, and D)

The objective is to test if there is an association between both variables, you have to conduct a Chi-Square test of independence.

In the null hypothesis, you state that both variables are independent vs. the alternative hypothesis that the variables are dependent.

The hypotheses for this test are:

H₀: Pij= Pi. * P.j i= (1)Yes, (2)No; j= (1)A, (2)B, (3)C, (4)D

H₁: Te variables are not independent.

α: 0.05

$X^2= sum\frac{(O_{ij}-E_{ij})^2}{E_{ij}} ~~X_{(r-1)*(c-1)}$

Where

Oij is the observed frequency for the i-row and j-column

Eij is the expected frequency for the i-row and j-column

r= number of categories in the rows

c= number of categories in the columns

$X^2_{H_0}= 1.4796703$

p-value: 0.687

The p-value is greater than the significance level, so the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis. So using a 5% significance level, you can conclude that having a curfew and the average grades of middle schoolers are two independent variables.

The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variable x with a mean of 8.3 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.3

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

a) There is a 74.22% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes.

b) There is a 1-0.0548 = 0.9452 = 94.52% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes.

c) There is a 68.74% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variable x with a mean of 8.3 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.3 minutes. This means that $\mu = 8.3, \sigma = 3.3$ .

(a) What is the probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes?

We are working with a sample mean of 37 jets. So we have that:

$s = \frac{3.3}{\sqrt{37}} = 0.5425$

Total time of 320 minutes for 37 jets, so

$X = \frac{320}{37} = 8.65$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when $X = 8.65$ . So

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

$Z = \frac{8.65 - 8.3}{0.5425}$

$Z = 0.65$

$Z = 0.65$ has a pvalue of 0.7422. This means that there is a 74.22% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes.

(b) What is the probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes?

Total time of 275 minutes for 37 jets, so

$X = \frac{275}{37} = 7.43$

This probability is subtracted by the pvalue of Z when $X = 7.43$

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

$Z = \frac{7.43 - 8.3}{0.5425}$

$Z = -1.60$

$Z = -1.60$ has a pvalue of 0.0548.

There is a 1-0.0548 = 0.9452 = 94.52% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes.

(c) What is the probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes?

Total time of 320 minutes for 37 jets, so

$X = \frac{320}{37} = 8.65$

Total time of 275 minutes for 37 jets, so

$X = \frac{275}{37} = 7.43$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when $X = 8.65$ subtracted by the pvalue of Z when $X = 7.43$ .

So:

From a), we have that for $X = 8.65$ , we have $Z = 0.65$ , that has a pvalue of 0.7422.

From b), we have that for $X = 7.43$ , we have $Z = -1.60$ , that has a pvalue of 0.0548.

So there is a 0.7422 - 0.0548 = 0.6874 = 68.74% probability that for 37 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes.

A rectangular field is enclosed by 360 feet of fencing. What is the length, in feet, of the field if it’s length is 6 feet more

Orlov [11]

Answer:

The Field's length is 93ft

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2L+2w

360=2(w+6)+2w

360=2w+12+2w

360=4w+12

348=4w

348/4=w

87=w

L=w+6

L=87+6

L=93
