Suppose human weights are normally distributed with mean 175 and standard deviation 36 pounds. A helicopter is evacuating people

from a building surrounded by zombies, and this helicopter can fit 9 people and with a maximum weight of 1800 pounds, i.e., an average of 200 pounds per person. If 9 people are randomly chosen to be loaded on this helicopter, what is the probability that it can safely lift off (i.e., the average weight of a person in the helicopter is less than 200)? Keep answers in decimal form and round to THREE decimal places.

Answer:

0.9812

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that human weights are normally distributed with mean 175 and standard deviation 36 pounds

For a sample of 9 people std error of sample would be

\frac{36}{\sqrt{9} } =12

Thus we find that sample mean is N(175, 12)

The plane will lift safely if sample average <200 pounds

i.e. Probability that it can safely lift off (i.e., the average weight of a person in the helicopter is less than 200)

= P(\bar x

~0.981

The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current x xx (in amperes) is modeled by P ( x ) = −
marysya [2.9K]

Given:

The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current x (in amperes) is modeled by

P(x)=-15x(x-8)

To find:

The current which will produce the maximum power.

Solution:

We have,

P(x)=-15x(x-8)

P(x)=-15x^2+120x

Differentiate with respect to x.

P'(x)=-15(2x)+120(1)

P'(x)=-30x+120      ...(i)

To find the extreme point equate P'(x)=0.

-30x+120=0

-30x=-120

Divide both sides by -30.

x=4

Differentiate (i) with respect to x.

P'(x)=-30(1)+(0)

P'(x)=-30 (Maximum)

It means, the given function is maximum at x=4.

Therefore, the current of 4 amperes will produce the maximum power.

Explain how knowing 1+7 helps you find the sum for7+1
ss7ja [257]
1+7 and 7+1 are the same equations. The numbers are just switched around .
Example:
1+2=3
2+1+3

<span>They add up to the same answer no matter where they are placed, therefore knowing 1+7 helps you find the sum of 7+1 (again, because they are the same)  </span>

Robby had 4 4/9 bags of pet food.All of the bags held the same amount of food when they were full.Of Robby's 4 4/9 bags of pet f
Tpy6a [65]

Answer: 1.8 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, given that robby have 4 4/9 bags of pet food, 2/5 were dog food

2/5 of 4 4/9 = dog foods

Convert 4 4/9 to proper fraction= 40/9

2/5 of 40/9 means 2/5 × 40/9

= 16/9

= 1.78 or 1.8

I hope this helps, please mark as brainliest answer.

Which best describes the transformation that occurs from the graph of f(x) = x2 to g(x) = (x – 2)2 + 3?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

A. right 2, up 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that,

The function f(x) = x^2 is transformed to g(x) =(x- 2)^2+3.

We see that,

The function f(x) is translated 2 units to the right and 3 units upwards to obtain the function g(x).

So, the correct transformation is 'right 2, up 3'.

Hence, option A is correct.
