The question posted is simply asking you to convert the measurement given above. We just need the conversion factors to obtain the correct measurements. We do as follows:

7 meters ( 39 in / 1 m ) = 273 inches tall

273 inches ( 1ft / 12 in ) = 22.75 ft tall

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Find the cube root of 8x7x9x49x3

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

=42

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression 8×7×9×49×3 can be written in its simplest factor form as follows.

8=2³

49=7²

9=3²

Thus the expression becomes:2³×7×3²×7²×3

Combine the indices to the same base.

2³×3³×7³

Finding the cube root involves dividing the index by three.

Thus ∛(2³×3³×7³)= 2×3×7

=42

A machinist must cut 12 strips of metal that are each 3 ft 3 7/8 in. long. What is the total length needed in inches?

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: 478 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: 3 ft 3 7/8 in. is 39 7/8 in. 39x12=468. 7/8x12=84/8 or 10 1/2. 468+10 1/2=478 1/2.

If a1 = 6 and an = 3 + 2(an-1), then a2 equals<br><br> no links

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a1 = 6

an = 3 + 2(an-1),

Substitute n = 2 into the formula

a2 = 3 + 2(a1)

a2 = 3 + 2(6)

a2 = 3+12

a2 = 15

Hence the second term of the sequence is 15

According to a Yale program on climate change communication survey, 71% of Americans think global warming is happening.† (a) For

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

a) 0.2741 = 27.41% probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring

b) 0.7611 = 76.11% probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

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.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$p = 0.71$

(a) For a sample of 16 Americans, what is the probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring?

Here $n = 16$ , we want $P(X \geq 13)$ . So

$P(X \geq 13) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 13) = C_{16,13}.(0.71)^{13}.(0.29)^{3} = 0.1591$

$P(X = 14) = C_{16,14}.(0.71)^{14}.(0.29)^{2} = 0.0835$

$P(X = 15) = C_{16,15}.(0.71)^{15}.(0.29)^{1} = 0.0273$

$P(X = 16) = C_{16,16}.(0.71)^{16}.(0.29)^{0} = 0.0042$

$P(X \geq 13) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) = 0.1591 + 0.0835 + 0.0273 + 0.0042 = 0.2741$

0.2741 = 27.41% probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring

(b) For a sample of 160 Americans, what is the probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring?

Now $n = 160$ . So

$\mu = E(X) = np = 160*0.71 = 113.6$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{160*0.71*0.29} = 5.74$

Using continuity correction, this is $P(X \geq 110 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 109.5)$ , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 109.5. So

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

$Z = \frac{109.5 - 113.6}{5.74}$

$Z = -0.71$

$Z = -0.71$ has a pvalue of 0.2389

1 - 0.2389 = 0.7611

0.7611 = 76.11% probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring
