Tublu buys a cylindrical water tank of height 1.4m and diameter 1.1 to catch rainwater off his roof.he has a full 2 liters tin of paint in his store and decides to paint the tank (not the base) If he uses 25ml to cover 1m^2 will he have enough paint to cover the tank with one layer of paint
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The lateral area of a cylinder is ...
LA = πdh
Putting in the given numbers, we find the area to be ...
LA = π(1.1 m)(1.4 m) ≈ 4.838 m²
At 25 mL per m², the amount of paint Tublu needs is ...
(4.838 m²)(25 mL/m²) = 120.95 mL
2 liters is 2000 mL, so Tublu easily has enough paint for one layer.
___
The amount he has is enough for more than 16 coats of paint, so he could paint inside and out with the paint he has.
Answer:
he should.
Step-by-step explanation:
Of 1000 randomly selected cases of lung cancer, 823 resulted in death within 10 years.
a. Calculate a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the death rate from lung cancer.
b. Using the point estimate of p obtained from the preliminary sample, what sample size is needed to be 95% confident that the error in estimating the true value of p is less than 0.03?
c. How large must the sample be if you wish to be at least 95% confident that the error in estimating p is less than 0.03, regardless of the true value of p?
Answer:
a) [tex]0.823 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{1000}}=0.799[/tex]
[tex]0.823 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{1000}}=0.847[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.799;0.847)
b) [tex]n=\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.96})^2}=621.79[/tex]
And rounded up we have that n=622
c) [tex]n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.96})^2}=1067.11[/tex]
And rounded up we have that n=1068
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a
[tex]\hat p=\frac{823}{1000}=0.823[/tex]
In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by [tex]\alpha=1-0.95=0.05[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.025[/tex]. And the critical value would be given by:
[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96[/tex]
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
[tex]\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]
If we replace the values obtained we got:
[tex]0.823 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{1000}}=0.799[/tex]
[tex]0.823 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{1000}}=0.847[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.799;0.847)
Part b
The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:
[tex] ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex] (a)
And on this case we have that [tex]ME =\pm 0.03[/tex] and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
[tex]n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}[/tex] (b)
And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:
[tex]n=\frac{0.823(1-0.823)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.96})^2}=621.79[/tex]
And rounded up we have that n=622
Part c
[tex]n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.03}{1.96})^2}=1067.11[/tex]
And rounded up we have that n=1068
The monthly starting salaries of students who receive an MBA degree have a standard deviation of $110. What size sample should be selected to obtain a 0.95 probability of estimating the mean monthly income within $20 or less
Answer:
116.21Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula for calculating margin error to tackle the question.
Margin error = [tex]\frac{Z \sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
Z is the value at 95% confidence
[tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation
n is the sample size to be estimated
Since the mean monthly income is within $20 or less, our margin error will be $20
Given [tex]\sigma[/tex] = $110, Z value at 95% confidence = 1.96 we can calculate the sample side n.
Making n the subject of the formula from the equation above;
[tex]M.E = \frac{Z \sigma}{\sqrt{n} }\\\\\sqrt{n} = \frac{Z \sigma}{M.E } \\\\[/tex]
[tex]n = (\frac{Z \sigma}{M.E })^{2}[/tex]
Substituting the give value into the resulting expression;
[tex]n = (\frac{1.96 * 110}{20})^{2}\\\\n = (\frac{215.6}{20}) ^2\\\\n = 10.78^2\\\\n = 116.21[/tex]
This shows that the sample size that should be selected to obtain a 0.95 probability of estimating the mean monthly income within $20 or less is approximately 116.21

The manufacturer of a certain brand of hot dogs claims that the mean fat content per hot dog is 20 grams. Suppose the standard deviation of the population of these hot dogs is 1.9 grams. A sample of these hot dogs is tested, and the mean fat content per hot dog of this sample is found to be 20.5 grams. Find the probability that the sample mean is at least 20.5 when the sample size is 35.
Answer:
[tex]z=\frac{20.5-20}{\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{35}}}= 1.557[/tex]
And using the normal standard distribution and the complement rule we got:
[tex]P(z>1.557) =1-P(z<1.557) = 1-0.940 = 0.06[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we define our random variable X as "fat content per hot dog" and we know the following parameters:
[tex]\mu = 20, \sigma =1.9[/tex]
We select a sample of n=35 and we want to find the following probability:
[tex] P(\bar X>20.5)[/tex]
For this case since the sample size is >30 we can use the central limit theorem and we use the z score formula given by:
[tex]z=\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
Replacing we got:
[tex]z=\frac{20.5-20}{\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{35}}}= 1.557[/tex]
And using the normal standard distribution and the complement rule we got:
[tex]P(z>1.557) =1-P(z<1.557) = 1-0.940 = 0.06[/tex]

A triangle on a coordinate plane is translated according to the rule T-3,5(x, y). Which is another way to write this rule?
(x, y) - (x - 3, y + 5)
(x, y) - (x-3, y-5)
(x,y) - (x + 3, y-5)
(x, y) = (x + 3, y + 5)
Explanation:
The notation [tex]T_{-3,5}(x,y)[/tex] or means to move any point (x,y) along the vector <-3,5>. Put another way, it says to shift (x,y) three units to the left and five units up. The x portion deals with left or right shifting, the y portion deals with up or down shifting. Since the x portion is negative, we go in the negative direction on the x axis. Y being positive means we move up rather than down.
This all means we end up with the translation rule [tex](x,y) \to (x-3,y+5)[/tex]
The route used by a certain motorist in commuting to work contains two intersections with traffic signals. The probability that he must stop at the first signal is 0.36, the analogous probability for the second signal is 0.51, and the probability that he must stop at least one of the two signals is 0.67.What is theprobability that he must stop.
a) At both signals?
b) At the first signal but not at the second one?
c) At exactly on signal?
Answer:
a) P(X∩Y) = 0.2
b) [tex]P_1[/tex] = 0.16
c) P = 0.47
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call X the event that the motorist must stop at the first signal and Y the event that the motorist must stop at the second signal.
So, P(X) = 0.36, P(Y) = 0.51 and P(X∪Y) = 0.67
Then, the probability P(X∩Y) that the motorist must stop at both signal can be calculated as:
P(X∩Y) = P(X) + P(Y) - P(X∪Y)
P(X∩Y) = 0.36 + 0.51 - 0.67
P(X∩Y) = 0.2
On the other hand, the probability [tex]P_1[/tex] that he must stop at the first signal but not at the second one can be calculated as:
[tex]P_1[/tex] = P(X) - P(X∩Y)
[tex]P_1[/tex] = 0.36 - 0.2 = 0.16
At the same way, the probability [tex]P_2[/tex] that he must stop at the second signal but not at the first one can be calculated as:
[tex]P_2[/tex] = P(Y) - P(X∩Y)
[tex]P_2[/tex] = 0.51 - 0.2 = 0.31
So, the probability that he must stop at exactly one signal is:
[tex]P = P_1+P_2\\P=0.16+0.31\\P=0.47[/tex]

Identify the correct HYPOTHESIS used in a hypothesis test of the following claim and sample data: Claim: "The average annual household income in Warren County is $47,500." A random sample of 86 households from this county is obtained, and they have an average annual income of $48,061 with a standard deviation of $2,351. Test the claim at the 0.02 significance level.
Answer:
We accept H₀
Step-by-step explanation:
Population mean μ₀ = 47500
Population standard deviation unknown
Sample size n = 86 degree of freedom df = 86 - 1 df = 85
Sample mean μ = 48061
Sample standard deviation 2,351
The claim implies a two tail test with t-studend distributon
Null Hypothesis H₀ μ = μ₀
Alternative Hypothesis Hₐ μ ≠ μ₀
Confidence Interval mean α = 0,02 and α/2 = 0,01
With α/2 and df = 85, from t-table we find t(c) critical value
t(c) = 2,3710
We compute t(s) as
t(s) = ( μ - μ₀ ) / s /√n
t(s) = ( 48061 - 47500 )/ 2351/√86
t(s) = 561 * 9,273 / 2351
t(s) = 2,212
Now we compare t(s) and t(c)
t(s) < t(c) 2,212 < 2,371
Then we are in the acceptance region. We accept H₀
Suppose that we don't have a formula for g(x) but we know that g(3) = −1 and g'(x) = x2 + 7 for all x.
(a) Use a linear approximation to estimate g(2.95) and g(3.05).
g(2.95) =
g(3.05) =
(b) Are your estimates in part (a) too large or too small? Explain.
A) The slopes of the tangent lines are positive and the tangents are getting steeper, so the tangent lines lie below the curve. Thus, the estimates are too small.
B) The slopes of the tangent lines are positive but the tangents are becoming less steep, so the tangent lines lie below the curve. Thus, the estimates are too small.
C) The slopes of the tangent lines are positive and the tangents are getting steeper, so the tangent lines lie above the curve. Thus, the estimates are too large.
D) The slopes of the tangent lines are positive but the tangents are becoming less steep, so the tangent lines lie above the curve. Thus, the estimates are too large.
Answer:
g(2.95) ≈ -1.8; g(3.05) ≈ -0.2A) tangents are increasing in slope, so the tangent is below the curve, and estimates are too small.Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The linear approximation of g(x) at x=b will be ...
g(x) ≈ g'(b)(x -b) +g(b)
Using the given relations, this is ...
g'(3) = 3² +7 = 16
g(x) ≈ 16(x -3) -1
Then the points of interest are ...
g(2.95) ≈ 16(2.95 -3) -1 = -1.8
g(3.05) ≈ 16(3.05 -3) -1 = -0.2
__
(b) At x=3, the slope of the curve is increasing, so the tangent lies below the curve. The estimates are too small. (Matches description A.)

As an example, 15,000 Men 18-34 watched program X at 7-8 pm on Monday night. 32,000 Men 18-34 had their TV on during the same time period. There are 200,000 Men 18-34 in the television households in the market. What would be the rating for Men 18-34 for program X? Group of answer choices 47 rating points 7.5 rating points 16 rating points 23.5 rating points
Answer:
7.5 rating points
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the rating for Men 18-34 for program X is shown below:
Given that
Number of men 18 -34 watched a program X = 15,000 = X
Number of men 18 - 34 watched in a same time = 32,000
And, the total households in the market = 200,000 = Y
So, the rating for men 18-34 for program x is
[tex]= \frac{X}{Y}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{15,000}{200,000}[/tex]
= 7.5 rating points
We simply applied the above formula

If we express $2x^2 + 6x + 11$ in the form $a(x - h)^2 + k$, then what is $h$? (ignore the $)
Answer:
h = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Given
y = 2x² + 6x + 11 ( factor out 2 from the first 2 terms )
= 2(x² + 3x) + 11
Using the method of completing the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² + 3x
y = 2(x² + 2([tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] )x + [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] ) + 11
= 2(x + [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] )² - [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] + 11
= 2(x + [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] )² + [tex]\frac{13}{2}[/tex] ← in vertex form
with h = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

In an aquarium, there are 7 large fish and 6 small fish. Half of the small fish are red.
One fish is selected at random. Find the probability that it is a small, red fish.
Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
Answer:
3/13
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a total of 13 fish (6+ 7 = 13). There are 3 small, red fish. (1/2 · 6 = 3). Put the number of small, red fish over the total number of fish because the small, red fish is being selected from the entire tank of fish. 3/13 cannot be simplified any further.
Simplfy the following expressions:
Answer:
1st one = d y^27
2nd one = b 2x^9
Step-by-step explanation:
1st one: since the power is being raised to the power of 3 you multiply the numbers
2nd one: the powers aren't being raised so you add the powers together.
12x^13y^10/6X^4y^10
then dividing for exponents is subtracting them so
2x^9 since y gets canceled out
Which of the following points is NOT a solution of the inequality y ≥ Ixl + 3?
A. (-3, 0)
B. (-3, 6)
C. (0, 4)
Hey there!
To solve this, we need to plug each of our answer options into the inequality and see if it is true. Which ever one doesn't make the inequality true when plugged in is the answer.
OPTION A
(x,y)=(-3,0)
We plug our values into the inequality.
0≥ I-3I+3
You may have noticed the bars surrounding the negative three.. If you didn't know, this is called absolute value. Absolute value is how far the number is from 0 on the number line. -7 is 7 away from 0 on a number line, so the absolute value of -7 is 7. The absolute value of 7 is 7. The absolute value of 0 is 0. Absolute value is signified by these bars. Le'ts finish evaluating.
0≥6
As you can see, zero is not greater than or equal to six. So, option A is false.
Since A is not a solution, we already know that that is the answer, so we don't even need to check B and C. But, we can still evaluate them if you want.
OPTION B
6≥I-3I+3
6≥6
This is true.
OPTION C
4≥I0I+3
4≥3
This is also true.
Therefore, the answer is A. (-3,0)
Have a wonderful day!
A production facility employs 20 workers on the day shift, 15 workers on the swing shift, and 10 workers on the graveyard shift. A quality control consultant is to select 7 of these workers for in-depth interviews. Suppose the selection is made in such a way that any particular group of 7 workers has the same chance of being selected as does any other group (drawing 7 slips without replacement from among 45).
1. How many selections result in all 7 workers coming from the day shift?
2. What is the probability that all 7 selected workers will be from the day shift?
3. What is the probability that all 7 selected workers will be from the same shift?
4. What is the probability that at least two different shifts will be represented among the selected workers?
5. What is the probability that at least one of the shifts will be un-represented in that sample of workers?
Answer:
1. 77520
2. [tex]P_1[/tex] = 0.0017
3. [tex]P_2[/tex] = 0.0019
4. [tex]P_3[/tex] = 0.9981
5. [tex]P_4[/tex] = 0.2036
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of ways or combinations in which we can select x elements from a group of n can be calculated as:
[tex]nCx = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
So, there are 77520 selections that result in all 7 workers coming from the day shift. It is calculated as:
[tex]20C7 = \frac{20!}{7!(20-7)!}=77520[/tex]
At the same way, the total number of selections of 7 workers from the 45 is 45C7, so the probability that all 7 selected workers will be from the day shift is:
[tex]P_1=\frac{20C7}{45C7} =0.0017[/tex]
The probability that all 7 selected workers will be from the same shift is calculated as:
[tex]P_2=\frac{20C7+15C7+10C7}{45C7} =0.0019[/tex]
Because the consultant can select all workers from the day shift (20C7) or can select all workers from the swing shift (15C7) or can select all workers from the graveyard shift (10C7).
On the other hand, the probability that at least two different shifts will be represented among the selected workers is the complement of the probability that all 7 selected workers will be from the same shift. So it is calculated as:
[tex]P_3 = 1- P_2=1 - 0.0019 = 0.9981[/tex]
Finally, the probability that at least one of the shifts will be un-represented in that sample of workers is:
[tex]P_4=\frac{25C7+30C7+35C7}{45C7} =0.2036[/tex]
Where 25C7 is the number of ways to select all 7 workers from swing or graveyard shift, 30C7 is the number of ways to select all 7 workers from day or graveyard shift and 35C7 is the number of ways to selects all 7 workers from day shift and swing shift.

The equation is solved and the perfect squares are removed from the square root and A = b²√( 30b )
What is an Equation?
Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.
It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.
Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.
Given data ,
Let the equation be represented as A
Now , the value of A is
Substituting the values in the equation , we get
A = √( 30b⁵ )
On simplifying the equation , we get
We can simplify the given expression by breaking down the number inside the square root into its prime factors:
30b⁵ = 2 x 3 x 5 x b⁵
Since we are looking to remove all perfect squares, we can remove the factors of 2 and 3, which are the only perfect squares present in the prime factorization of 30. This leaves us with:
30b⁵ = 2 x 3 x 5 x b⁵
= 2 x 3 x 5 x b⁴ x b
= 30b⁴ x b
Therefore, we can simplify the original expression as:
√(30b⁵) = √(30b⁴ x b) = √(30b⁴) x √b
A = b²√30 x √b
Hence , the expression √(30b⁵) simplifies to A = b²√30 x √b

5 ft
Answer:
Height of the building is 40 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure attached,
Height of the person DE = 5 feet
Let height of the building BC = h feet
Since, ΔABC ~ ΔADE,
Their corresponding sides will be proportional,
[tex]\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AD}{AB}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{h}=\frac{13}{104}[/tex]
h = [tex]\frac{104\times 5}{13}[/tex]
h = 40 feet
Therefore, height of the building is 40 feet.
