Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
The complete exercise is attached.</h3>
You can observe in the picture attached that the box is a rectangular prism.
The volume of a rectangular prism can be found with this formula:

Where "l" is the length, "w" is the width and "h" is the height.
You know that the lenght of each side of those cubes is 1 centimeter. Therefore, you can multiply the number of cubes on each side of the box by 1 centimeter in order to find the lenght, the width and the height of the box:
Now you can substitute the lenght, the width and the height of the box into the formula shown at the beginning of the explanation:

Finally, evaluating, you get that the volume of the box is:

2.8y + 6 + 0.2y = 5y – 14
Simplify the left side:
3y +6 = 5y-14
Subtract 3y from both sides:
6 = 2y -14
Add 14 to each side:
2y =20
Divide both sides by 2:
y = 20 / 2
y = 10
Let x = the length of the rectangle
Let w= the width
Two sections are required, hence 2w of fence required
2x+3w=500
this can be written as:
3w=1500-2x
w=(1500-2x)/3
Area=x*w
replacing w with our expression:
A=x(1500-2x)/3
A=(500x-2x^2)/3
This is a quadratic equation, if we find the axis of symmetry we will know what value of x gives maximum area:
Axis of symmetry: x=-b/2a
From our equation we get:
a=-2/3; b=1500/3
thus
x=(1500/3)/(-(-2/3))
x=750
thus the maximum area will be given by length of 750
Answer:
9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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.
In this problem, we have that:

What is the probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated?
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16. So



has a pvalue of 0.9082
1 - 0.9082 = 0.0918
9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated
