Answers

Answer 1

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A gymnasium floor is being covered by square shock-absorbing tiles.

The old gym floor required 864 square tiles. The new tiles are 2 inches larger in length and width than the old tiles. The new flooring will require only 600 tiles. What is the length of a side of one of the new shock-absorbing tiles  

Answer:

Length of the side of one of the new shock-absorbing tiles is 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Since both the area for old tiles and new tiles are the same;

so Area of old tiles = Area of new tiles,

given that; The old gym floor required 864 square tiles and new flooring will require only 600 tiles as new tiles are 2 inches larger in length and width than the old tiles.

Now let the length of the sides of the square tiles be x

Area of a square = length × length = x × x = x²

So, Area of Old tiles = 864 × x² = 864x²

Area of New tiles = 600( x + 2 )²

= 600( x² + 4x + 4 )

= 600x² + 2400x + 2400

Now, Area of old tiles = Area of new tiles

864x² - 600x² - 2400x - 2400 = 0

264x² - 2400x - 2400 = 0

we find x

Using; x = [-b ±√( b² - 4ac )] / 2a

x = [-( -2400) ±√( (-2400)² - (4 × 264 × -2400 )] / 2( 264 )

x = [ 2400 ±√( 5760000 + 2534400) ] / 528

x = [ 2400 ±√8294400 ] / 528

x = [ 2400 ±2880 ] / 528

x = [ 2400 - 2880 ] / 528  or  [ 2400 + 2880 ] / 528

x = [ -480 / 528 ] or  [ 5280 / 528 ]

x = [ -0.909 ] or  [ 10 ]

the length of the sides of the square tiles cannot be Negative

Hence, x = 10

Therefore, the length of a side of one of the new shock-absorbing tiles will be;

⇒ x + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12 inches

Length of the side of one of the new shock-absorbing tiles is 12 inches

Find the area of a triangle with a base of 4 meters and a height of 14 meters.

Answers

Answer:

28 meters²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = 1/2(base x height).

It is given that:

base = 4 meters

height = 14 meters

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding terms:

Area of the triangle = 1/2(4 * 14)

Area of the triangle = (4 * 14)/2

Area of the triangle = 56/2

Area of the triangle = 28 meters²

Answer:

The answer is 28 meters^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the area of the triangle, start by using the area of a triangle formula, which is A= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] bh.

Next, plug in the information from the question into the formula. The formula will look like A= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](4)(14).

Then, solve the equation, and the final answer will be 28 meters^2.

The trapezoid was translated Right 6 ,down 5

An experimenter is studying the effects of temperature, pressure, and type of catalyst on yield from a certain chemical reaction. She considers 6 different temperatures, 5 different pressures, and 4 different catalysts are under consideration.

a. If any particular experimental run involves the use of a single temperature, pressure, and catalyst, how many experimental runs are possible?
b. How many experimental runs are there that involve use of the lowest temperature and two lowest pressures?
c. Suppose that five different experimental runs are to be made on the first day of experimentation. If the five are randomly selected from among all the possibilities, so that any group of five has the same probability of selection, what is the probability that a different catalyst is used on each run?

Answers

Answer:

a) 120 possible experimental runs

b) 8 possible experimental runs

c) 0

Step-by-step explanation:

a. For the experiment, there are 6 different temperatures (T), 5 different pressures (P), and 4 different catalysts (C). We can find the total number of combinations using the product rule.

N = T × P × C

N = 6 × 5 × 4 = 120

b) If we use only the lowest temperature, we have T = 1, and if we use the two lowest pressures, we have P = 2. We can find the total number of combinations using the product rule.

N = T × P × C

N = 1 × 2 × 4 = 8

c) If we perform 5 experimental runs with 4 possible catalysts, it is not possible to use a different catalyst each time. At least, 1 catalyst must be repeated twice. Then, the event "a different catalyst is used on each run" has a probability of 0.

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 24 years, its mass decreases by
half. Given that the initial mass of a sample of Element X is 70 grams, how long
would it be until the mass of the sample reached 61 grams, to the nearest tenth of a
year?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We get to use the simple version of the half life equation:

[tex]N=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{H}[/tex] where N is the amount of radioactive element left after a specific number of years,

N0 is the initial amount of the element,

t is the number of years (our unknown), and

H is the Half life of the element. For us,

N is 61

N0 is 70,

t is unknown,

H is 24 years. Filling in:

[tex]61=70(.5)^{\frac{t}{24}[/tex]. We begin by dividing both sides by 70 to get:

[tex].8714285=(.5)^{\frac{t}{24}[/tex] and then take the natural log of both sides:

[tex]ln(.8714285=ln(.5)^{\frac{t}{24}[/tex] which allows us to bring down the exponent to the front on the right side:

[tex]ln(.8714285)=\frac{t}{24}ln(.5)[/tex]. We divide both sides by ln(.5) to get:

[tex].1985457976=\frac{t}{24}[/tex] and then multiply both sides by 24 to get:

t = 4.8 years

Fill in the blanks. Suppose the probability at a light bulb factory of a bulb being defective is 0.11. If a shipment of 133 bulbs is sent out, the number of defective bulbs in the shipment should be around __________, give or take __________. Assume each bulb is independent.

Answers

Answer:

The number of defective bulbs in the shipment should be around 15, give or take 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each bulb, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a bulb being defective is independent of any other bulb. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Suppose the probability at a light bulb factory of a bulb being defective is 0.11

This means that [tex]p = 0.11[/tex]

Shipment of 133 bulbs:

This means that [tex]n = 133[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]E(X) = np = 133*0.11 = 14.63[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{133*0.11*0.89} = 3.61[/tex]

Rounding to the nearest integers:

The number of defective bulbs in the shipment should be around 15, give or take 4.

Answers

Answer: The probability that a value is less than 36.8 is 0.9993.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that normally distributed.

Given: [tex]\mu=32,\sigma=1.5[/tex]

The probability that a value is less than 36.8 = [tex]P(X<36.8)[/tex]

[tex]=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{36.8-32}{1.5})\\\\=P(Z<3.2)\ \ \ [Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\=0.9993[/tex][Using P-value calculator]

Therefore, The probability that a value is less than 36.8 is 0.9993.
