What is 19/4 as a mixed number?
Bumek [7]
We have to divide using long division.
  __4
4| 19
   16
     3

The divisor becomes the denominator, the remainder becomes the numerator, and the quotient becomes the whole number.

So we have:

\sf4\dfrac{3}{4}

Suppose the following are the city driving gas mileages of a selection of sport utility vehicles (SUVs). 19, 20, 19, 20, 18, 21,
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of the gas mileages is 317÷16=19.8125

317 is the sum total of all the figures and 16 is the number of figures in the distribution

Standard deviation is the square root of the variance and the variance is the mean of all squared deviations

The 16 squared deviations are

7.9102(×2) + 3.2852(×2) + 0.6602(×3) + 0.0352(×4) + 1.4102(×3) + 10.1602 + 17.5352 = 56.4382

56.4382÷16 = 3.5274

This is the Variance. The standard deviation is herefore √3.5274 =1.878 ~ 1.88 (to 2 decimal places)

(B) Chebyshev's inequality predicts that 75% of the selection will fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean

2×1.88=3.76

19.8125-3.76 = 16.05

19.8125+3.76= 23.57

The gas mileages are between 16.05 and 23.57

(C) the actual % of SUV models of the sample that fall in the above range is (15/16 × 100) = 93.75%

(D) the empirical rule gives the more accurate prediction

As part of a new advertising campaign, a beverage company wants to increase the dimensions of their cans by a multiple of 1.12.
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The new can can hold upto volume of 476.69 cubic centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of the can = d = 6 cm

Radius of the can = r = 0.5d = 0.5 × 6 cm = 3 cm

Height of the can = h = 12 cm

Company wants to increase the dimensions of their cans by a multiple of 1.12. So, the new dimension will be:

r'= 3 cm × 1.12 = 3.36 cm

h' = 12 cm × 1.12 =13.44 cm

Volume of the = can = V

Volume of a cylinder = \pi r^2h

V=\pi r'^2h'

=3.14\times (3.36 cm)^2\times 13.44 cm=476.6808 cm^3\approx 476.68 cm^3

The new can can hold upto volume of 476.69 cubic centimeters.

A ramp leading to the freeway overpass is 200 feet long and rises 37 feet. what is the measure of the angle formed between the r
julsineya [31]
The ramp,the rise and the base, when illustrated, will form a right triangle. The hypotenuse is the ramp which measures 200 ft long. The rise is the vertical height which measures 37 feet. As you can see in the picture, the arc drawn below the ramp to the horizontal line directing to the freeways is the unknown angle that we have to find.

First, we find the angle made between the ramp and the rise (dashed line). Let's denote this is angle α. We make use trigonometric functions like cosine. Cosine of an angle is equal to the ratio of its adjacent side to the hypotenuse. In equation form:

cos α = 37/200, where α is the angle of inclination of the ramp
cos α = 0.185
α =cos^-1(0.185)
α = 79.34°

Next, let's denote the unknown angle as angle β. When you add the right angle and angle α, the sum would be angle β. Therefore,

β = 90° + 79.34°
β = 169.34°
