Answer:

1.25 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of trail. We have been given that after Paul hiked \frac{5}{6} of a mile, he was \frac{5}{6} of the way along the trail.  

Let need to find x such that \frac{2}{3} of x equals \frac{5}{6}.  

\frac{2}{3} x=\frac{5}{6}

x=\frac{5}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}

x=\frac{5}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}  

x=\frac{5}{2\times 2}

x=\frac{5}{4}  

x=1\frac{1}{4}=1.25  

Therefore, the trail is 1.25 miles long.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

a) 2.84% probability that he is late for his first lecture.

b) 5.112 days

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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 question, we have that:

\mu = 16, \sigma = 2.1

a. Find the probability that he is late for his first lecture.

This is the probability that he takes more than 20 minutes to walk, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{20 - 16}{2.1}

Z = 1.905

Z = 1.905 has a pvalue of 0.9716

1 - 0.9716 = 0.0284

2.84% probability that he is late for his first lecture.

b. Find the number of days per year he is likely to be late for his first lecture.

Each day, 2.84% probability that he is late for his first lecture.

Out of 180

0.0284*180 = 5.112 days

Find the average value of the function f(x, y, z) = 5x2z 5y2z over the region enclosed by the paraboloid z = 4 − x2 − y2 and the
S_A_V [24]
The paraboloid meets the x-y plane when x²+y²=9. A circle of radius 3, centre origin. 

<span>Use cylindrical coordinates (r,θ,z) so paraboloid becomes z = 9−r² and f = 5r²z. </span>

<span>If F is the mean of f over the region R then F ∫ (R)dV = ∫ (R)fdV </span>

<span>∫ (R)dV = ∫∫∫ [θ=0,2π, r=0,3, z=0,9−r²] rdrdθdz </span>

<span>= ∫∫ [θ=0,2π, r=0,3] r(9−r²)drdθ = ∫ [θ=0,2π] { (9/2)3² − (1/4)3⁴} dθ = 81π/2 </span>


<span>∫ (R)fdV = ∫∫∫ [θ=0,2π, r=0,3, z=0,9−r²] 5r²z.rdrdθdz </span>

<span>= 5∫∫ [θ=0,2π, r=0,3] ½r³{ (9−r²)² − 0 } drdθ </span>

<span>= (5/2)∫∫ [θ=0,2π, r=0,3] { 81r³ − 18r⁵ + r⁷} drdθ </span>

<span>= (5/2)∫ [θ=0,2π] { (81/4)3⁴− (3)3⁶+ (1/8)3⁸} dθ = 10935π/8 </span>

<span>∴ F = 10935π/8 ÷ 81π/2 = 135/4</span>
