Two cones are similar. The surface area of the larger cone is 65π square inches. The surface area of the smaller cone is 41.6π s

devlian [24]

Answer:

8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cone (without the base) is given by:

Surface area = pi*r*s

Where r is the base radius and s is the slant height.

The smaller cone has a surface area of 41.6pi in2 and a radius of 6.4 inches, so the slant height is:

41.6pi = pi*r*s

41.6 = 6.4s

s = 6.5 in

If the cones are similar, the radius and the slant height increase in the same proportion, so we have that:

r'/s' = r/s = 6.4/6.5

s' = r'*6.5/6.4

So for the larger cone, we have:

65pi = pi*r'*s'

65 = r'*r'*6.5/6.4

r'^2 = 64

r' = 8 inches

The percentage of body fat of a random sample of 36 men aged 20 to 29 found a sample mean of 14.42. Find a 95% confidence interv

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

$14.42-1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=12.150$

$14.42+ 1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=16.690$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (12.150;16.690)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=14.42$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=6.95$ represent the population standard deviation

n=36 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$14.42-1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=12.150$

$14.42+ 1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=16.690$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (12.150;16.690)

what do i write for this " Write a problem that requires adding 1 to the quotient when interpreting the remainder."

Mariana [72]

You should write a ( real world situation ) question that can only have whole numbers as a solution because you would divide and then you can not have a fraction left over so instead you add one. For instance there are 132 students going on a field trip. 20 students can fit on each bus. how many buses are needed? 7 because when you divide 132 by 20 you get 6 remainder 12. You can not just make 12 students walk to the location so you would add an extra bus.

If y = 3x and 2x – 4y = 3, then x=

lozanna [386]

Answer:

x = -0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can substitute y in 2x – 4y = 3, to solve for x.

How to solve for x:

2x - 4(3x) = 3 (Simplify)

2x - 12x = 3 (Simplify)

-10x = 3 (Divide by -10)

x = -0.3
