4 books make 1 foot since there are 12 inches in a foot so 4 * 5 is 20

There are 20 books in the stack

there are 12 inches in a foot and 3 times 4 is 12 5 feet times 4 is 20 your answer is 20 books

Of 560 samples of seafood purchased from various kinds of food stores in different regions of a country and genetically compared
frutty [35]

Answer:

a) (0.5256,0.5944)  

c) Criticism is invalid

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 560

Proportion of mislabeled = 56%

\hat{p} = 0.56

a) 90% Confidence interval:

\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 1.64

Putting the values, we get:

0.56\pm 1.64(\sqrt{\dfrac{0.56(1-0.56)}{560}}) = 0.56\pm 0.0344\\\\=(0.5256,0.5944)

b) Interpretation of confidence interval:

We are 90% confident that the true proportion of all seafood in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified is between 0.5256 and 0.5944 that is 52.56% and 59.44%.

c) Validity of criticism

Conditions for validity:

np > 10\\n(1-p)>10

Verification:

560\times 0.56 = 313.6>10\\560(1-0.56) = 246.4>10

Both the conditions are satisfied. This, the criticism is invalid.

At a desert resort, the temperature at 7 a.m. was 3°C. The temperature increased by an average of 3.4°C each hour until it reach
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: It will take 8 hours to reach this temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: At a desert resort, the temperature at 7 a.m. was 3°C.

The temperature increased by an average of 3.4°C each hour until it reached 30.2°C.

Let x be the number of hours taken to reach 30.2°C..

As per given ,

Initial temperature +(average increase in temperature) (Number of hours) = 30.2

⇒3+3.4x=30.2

⇒3.4x=30.2-3

⇒3.4x=27.2

⇒ x=8    [Divide both sides by 3.4]

Hence, it will take 8 hours to reach this temperature.

Excel:In cell B13, create a formula using the VLOOKUP function that looks up the value from cell A11 in the range A5:B7, returns
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

=Vlookup'B13' A11' 7'false

Press enter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vlookup is a technique in excel which enables users to search for criterion values. It is vertical lookup function in excel which return a value from a different column. The formula for Vlookup function is:

=Vlookup'select cell you want to look up in' select cell you want to lookup from' select column index number' true/false.

where true is approximate match and false is exact match.

In a local ice sculpture contest, one group sculpted a block into a rectangular based pyramid. The dimensions of the base were 3
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

1. The amount of ice needed = 18 m²

2. The amount of fabric needed to manufacture the umbrella is 0.76 m²

3. The height of the cone, is 3.75 cm

4. The dimensions of the deck are;

Width = 28/3 m, breadth = 28/3 m

The area be 87.11 m²

5.   The dimensions of the optimal design for setting the storage area at the corner, we have;

Width = 10m

Breadth = 10 m

The dimensions of the optimal design for setting the storage area at the back of their building are;

Width = 7·√2 m

Breadth = 7·√2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The amount of ice needed is given by the volume, V, of the pyramid given by V = 1/3 × Base area × Height

The base area = Base width × Base breadth = 3 × 5 = 15 m²

The pyramid height = 3.6 m

The volume of the pyramid = 1/3*15*3.6 = 18 m²

The amount of ice needed = 18 m²

2. The surface area of the umbrella = The surface area of a cone (without the base)

The surface area of a cone (without the base) = π×r×l

Where:

r = The radius of the cone = 0.4 m

l = The slant height = √(h² + r²)

h = The height of the cone = 0.45 m

l = √(0.45² + 0.4²) = 0.6021 m

The surface area = π×0.4×0.6021 = 0.76 m²

The surface area of a cone (without the base) = 0.76 m²

The surface area of the umbrella = 0.76 m²

The amount of fabric needed to manufacture the umbrella = The surface area of the umbrella = 0.76 m²

3. The volume, V, of the cone = 1/3×Base area, A, ×Height, h

The volume of the cone V = 150 cm³

The base area of the cone A = 120 cm²

Therefore we have;

V = 1/3×A×h

The height of the cone, h = 3×V/A = 3*150/120 = 3.75 cm

4. Given that the deck will have railings on three sides, we have;

Maximum dimension = The dimension of a square as it is the product of two  equal maximum obtainable numbers

Therefore, since the deck will have only three sides, we have that the length of each side are equal and the fourth side can accommodate any dimension of the other sides giving the maximum dimension of each side as 28/3

The dimensions of the deck are width = 28/3 m, breadth = 28/3 m

The area will then be 28/3×28/3 = 784/9 = 87\frac{1}{9} =87.11 m²

5. The optimal design for setting the storage area at the corner of their property with four sides is having the dimensions to be that of of a square with equal sides of 10 m each as follows;

Width = 10m

Breadth = 10 m

The optimal design to have the storage area at the back of their building having a fence on only three sides, is given as follows;

Storage area specified = 98 m²

For optimal use of fencing, we have optimal side size of fencing = s = Side length of a square

s² = 98 m²

Therefore, s = √98 = 7·√2 m

Which gives the width = 7·√2 m and the breadth = 7·√2 m.
