Answer:

13 pounds of grass.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need 20 pounds of grass seed to plant inside the baseball diamond.

The Baseball Diamond is a square of side = 90 ft

The Softball Diamond is a square of side = 60 ft

The ratio of the size of the Baseball Diamond to that of Softball Diamond is:

90: 60 = 3:2

If 3 represents 20 pounds, then 2 represents;

$\frac{2}{3}$ × 20 = 13.33333333 pounds = 13 pounds (rounded to nearest pound)

Gianna is going to throw a ball from the top floor of her middle school. When she throws the ball from 32feet above the ground,

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

There are two times for the ball to reach a height of 64 feet:

1 second after thrown ⇒ the ball moves upward

2 seconds after thrown ⇒ the ball moves downward

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the function to solve the problem

- h(t) models the height of the ball above the ground as a function

of the time t

- h(t) = -16t² + 48t + 32

- Where h(t) is the height of the ball from the ground after t seconds

- The ball is thrown upward with initial velocity 48 feet/second

- The ball is thrown from height 32 feet above the ground

- The acceleration of the gravity is -32 feet/sec²

- To find the time when the height of the ball is above the ground

by 64 feet substitute h by 64

∵ h(t) = -16t² + 48t + 32

∵ h = 64

∴ 64 = -16t² + 48t + 32 ⇒ subtract 64 from both sides

∴ 0 = -16t² + 48t - 32 ⇒ multiply the both sides by -1

∴ 16t² - 48t + 32 = 0 ⇒ divide both sides by 16 because all terms have

16 as a common factor

∴ t² - 3t + 2 = 0 ⇒ factorize it

∴ (t - 2)(t - 1) = 0

- Equate each bracket by zero to find t

∴ t - 2 = 0 ⇒ add 2 to both sides

∴ t = 2

- OR

∴ t - 1 = 0 ⇒ add 1 to both sides

∴ t = 1

- That means the ball will be at height 64 feet after 1 second when it

moves up and again at height 64 feet after 2 seconds when it

moves down

* There are two times for the ball to reach a height of 64 feet

1 second after thrown ⇒ the ball moves upward

2 seconds after thrown ⇒ the ball moves downward

The mean yearly rainfall in Sydney, Australia, is about 134 mm and the standard deviation is about 66 mm ("Annual maximums of,"

svetlana [45]

Answer:

At least 202.44 mm in the top 15%.

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:

$\mu = 134, \sigma = 66$

How many yearly mm of rainfall would there be in the top 15%?

At least X mm.

X is the 100-15 = 85th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.85. So X when Z = 1.037.

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

$1.037 = \frac{X - 134}{66}$

$X - 134 = 66*1.037$

$X = 202.44$

At least 202.44 mm in the top 15%.
