We have been given that a company makes wax candles in the shape of a solid sphere. Each candle has a diameter of 15 cm. We are asked to find the number of candles that company can make from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.

To solve our given problem, we will divide total volume of wax by volume of one candle.

Volume of each candle will be equal to volume of sphere.

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ , where r represents radius of sphere.

We know that radius is half the diameter, so radius of each candle will be $\frac{15}{2}=7.5$ cm.

$\text{Volume of one candle}=\frac{4}{3}\cdot 3.14\cdot (7.5\text{ cm})^3$

$\text{Volume of one candle}=\frac{4}{3}\cdot 3.14\cdot 421.875\text{ cm}^3$

$\text{Volume of one candle}=1766.25\text{ cm}^3$

Now we will divide 70,650 cubic cm of wax by volume of one candle.

$\text{Number of candles}=\frac{70,650\text{ cm}^3}{1766.25\text{ cm}^3}$

$\text{Number of candles}=\frac{70,650}{1766.25}$

$\text{Number of candles}=40$

Therefore, 40 candles can be made from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.

Past studies indicate that about 60 percent of the trees in a forested region are classified as softwood. A botanist studying th

Answer:

1. If it is true that 60 percent of the trees in a forested region are classified as softwood, 0.015 is the probability of obtaining a population proportion greater than 0.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The historical information indicates that 60% of the forest trees are classified as softwood.

A botanist thinks that the proportion might be greater than 60%, so he tested his belief obtaining:

H₀: p = 0.60

H₁: p > 0.60

p-value: 0.015

You need to interpret this p-value. Little reminder:

The p-value is defined as the probability corresponding to the calculated statistic if possible under the null hypothesis. It represents the % of size n samples from a population with proportion p=p₀, which will produce a measure that provides evidence as (or stronger) than the current sample that p is not equal to p₀.

The correct answer is:

1. If it is true that 60 percent of the trees in a forested region are classified as softwood, 0.015 is the probability of obtaining a population proportion greater than 0.6.

I hope this helps!

(3x³ + 2x - 3) - (4x³ - x² + x) please just give the answer

natka813 [3]

Answer:

- x³ + x² + x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x³ + 2x - 3) - (4x³ - x² + x)

3x³ + 2x - 3 - 4x³ + x² - x

3x³ - 4x³ + x² - x + 2x - 3

- x³ + x² + x - 3
