Including the bus driver, there are 15 people on a bus. During the bus ride, each person produces 750 BTUs (British Thermal Unit

s). The interior of the bus measures 38 feet by 8.5 feet by 6.25 feet. How many BTUs per cubic foot are produced?

This is the concept of applications of volume. We are required to calculate BTUs per cubic foot. This will be given by the formula:
(BTU)/volume
Total BTU=15*750=11,250
(assuming the bus is a perfect cuboid) volume of the bus will be;
volume=length*width*height
=38*8.5*6.25
=2018.75 ft^2
Thus the BTUs per foot will be:
11250/2018.75
5.57 BTUs/ft

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Mean is 3.05

Standard deviation is 1.69.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are foreign, or they are not. This means that we can solve this problem using concepts of the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The probability of x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

In this problem, we have a sample of 50 students, so n = 50. The proportion of all UNC students that are foreign students is 0.061, so p = 0.061.

The mean is given by the following formula:

E(X) = np = 50*0.061 = 3.05

The standard deviation is given by the following formula:

\sigma = \sqrt{n*p*(1-p)} = \sqrt{50*0.061*(1-0.061))} = 1.69
