1 foot = 12 inches

(1 foot)^3 = (12 inches)^3

1 cubic foot = (12^3) cubic inches

1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches, will be used as a conversion factor

--------------

Find the volume of the pool. Assume it is a rectangular prism.

Volume = length*width*height

Volume = 32*16*8

Volume = 4096 cubic feet

Multiply by 1728, which was the conversion factor found earlier, to convert from cubic feet to cubic inches.

4096 cubic feet = (4096*1728) cubic inches = 7077888 cubic inches

--------------

Now use the fact that 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches to convert from cubic inches to gallons

7077888 cubic inches = (7077888 cubic inches)*(1 gallon/231 cubic inches) = 7077888/231 = 30640.2078 gallons which is approximate

--------------

If x is the amount of time in minutes, then 8x gallons of water have been added after x minutes. Set this equal to 30640.2078 and solve for x

8x = 30640.2078

x = 30640.2078/8

x = 3830.02598

Divide this by 60 to convert to hours

3830.02598/60 = 63.8337663

<h3>It takes approximately 63.8 hours to fill the pool</h3>

This is approximately 63.8/24 = 2.625 days

Devon and his friends bought strawberry wafers for $3 per packet and chocolate wafers for $1 per packet at a carnival. They spen
Irina-Kira [14]
Hi there!

PART A:
The system of equations we would use would be:
x + y = 22 (amount of items)
3x + 1y = 30 (cost)

Variables:
x = the amount of strawberry wafers bought at the price of $3
y = the amount of chocolate wafers bought at the price of $1

PART B:
To solve, we'll use substitution because we can easily isolate a variable using the first equation.

Work:
x + y = 22 (first equation)
y = 22 - x (isolating a variable)
3x + 1y = 30 (second equation)
3x + (22 - x) = 30 (substituting into the second equation)
2x + 22 = 30 (simplifying)
2x = 8 (subtracting)
x = 4 strawberry wafers
4 + y = 22 (substituting x into the first equation to solve for y)
y = 18 chocolate wafers

ANSWER:
They bought 4 strawberry wafers and 18 chocolate wafers.

Hope this helps!! :)

A fleet of vehicles is comprised of 60 vans, 20 limos, and X sedans. If 10% of all vehicles are limos, how many sedans are in th
xz_007 [3.2K]
10% of all the cars is 20 limos.

20 * 10 = 200 cars total.

limos + vans + sedans = total cars
200 cars total - 20 limos - 60 vans = x sedans

x = 120 sedans

Let X denote the number of bars of service on your cell phone whenever you are at an intersection with the following probabiliti
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Given the variable

X: number of bars of service on your cell phone.

The posible values of this variable are {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

a. F(X) is the cummulative distribution function P(X≤x₀) you can calculate it by adding all the point probabilities for each value:

X: 0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5

P(X): 0.15; 0.25; 0.25; 0.15; 0.1; 0.1

F(X): 0.15; 0.4; 0.65; 0.8; 0.9; 1

The maximum cumulative probability of any F(X) is 1, knowing this, you can calculate the probability of X=5 as: 1 - F(4)= 1 - 0.9= 0.1

b.

The mean of the sample is:

E(X)= ∑Xi*Pi= (0*0.15)+(1*0.25)+(2*0.25)+(3*0.15)+(4*0.1)+(5*0.1)

E(X)= 2.1

V(X)= E(X²)-(E(X))²

V(X)= ∑Xi²*Pi- (∑Xi*Pi)²= 6.7- (2.1)²= 2.29

∑Xi²*Pi= (0²*0.15)+(1²*0.25)+(2²*0.25)+(3²*0.15)+(4²*0.1)+(5²*0.1)= 6.7

c.

P(X<2)

You can read this expression as the probability of having less than 2 bars of service. This means you can have either one or zero service bars, you can rewrite it as:

P(X<2)= P(X≤1)= F(1)= 0.4

d.

P(X≤3.5)

This expression means "the probability of having at most (or less or equal to) 3.5 service bars", this variable doesn't have the value 3.5 in its definition range so you have to look for the accumulated probability until the lesser whole number. This expression includes the probabilities of X=0, X=1, X=2, and X=3, you can express it as the accumulated probability until 3, F(3):

P(X≤3.5)= P(X≤3)= F(3)= 0.80

I hope it helps!

The quality control manager at a light bulb factory needs to estimate the mean life of a batch (population) of light bulbs. We a
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

<em>a)95%  confidence intervals for the population mean of light bulbs in this batch</em>

(325.5 ,374.5)

b)

<em>The calculated value Z = 4 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance</em>

<em>Null hypothesis is rejected </em>

<em>The manufacturer has not right to take the average life of the light bulbs is 400 hours.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sample size n = 64

Given  mean of the sample x⁻ = 350

Standard deviation of the Population σ = 100 hours

The tabulated value Z₀.₉₅ = 1.96

<em>95%  confidence intervals for the population mean of light bulbs in this batch</em>

<em></em>(x^{-} - Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } \frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } , x^{-} + Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } )<em></em>

<em></em>(350 - 1.96\frac{100}{\sqrt{64} } , 350 + 1.96\frac{100}{\sqrt{64} } )<em></em>

(350 -24.5, 350 +24.5)

(325.5 ,374.5)

b)

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:-

Given mean of the Population μ = 400

Given sample size n = 64

Given  mean of the sample x⁻ = 350

Standard deviation of the Population σ = 100 hours

<u><em>Null hypothesis</em></u> : H₀:The manufacturer has right to take the average life of the light bulbs is 400 hours.

μ = 400

<u><em>Alternative Hypothesis: H₁:</em></u> μ ≠400

<u><em>The test statistic </em></u>

Z = \frac{x^{-}-mean }{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }

Z = \frac{350 -400}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{64} } }

|Z| = |-4|

The tabulated value   Z₀.₉₅ = 1.96

The calculated value Z = 4 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance

Null hypothesis is rejected.

<u><em>Conclusion:</em></u>-

The manufacturer has not right to take the average life of the light bulbs is 400 hours.
