Raul received a score of 80 on a history test for which the class mean was 70 with standard deviation 10. He received a score of 75 on a biology test for which the class mean was 70 with standard deviation 2.5. On which test did he do better relative to the rest of the class?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Raul performed better in the biology test

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

History

[tex]Score = 80[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 70[/tex]

[tex]Standard\ Deviation = 10[/tex]

Biology

[tex]Score = 75[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 70[/tex]

[tex]Standard\ Deviation = 2.5[/tex]

Required

Where did he perform better relative to other students

To do this, we simply calculate the z score in both tests and make comparison.

z score is calculated as thus;

[tex]z = \frac{x - Mean}{SD}[/tex]

For history;

[tex]z = \frac{80 - 70}{10}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{10}{10}[/tex]

[tex]z = 1[/tex]

For biology;

[tex]z = \frac{75 - 70}{2.5}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{5}{2.5}[/tex]

[tex]z = 2[/tex]

Since the z score in the biology test is greater than that of the history test, then he performed better in the biology test

. A right cylindrical drum is to hold 7.35 cubic feet of liquid. Find the dimensions (radius of the base and height) of the drum which would minimize the surface area. What is the minimum surface area

Answers

Answer:

[tex]r=1.05\ \text{ft}[/tex]

[tex]h=2.12\ \text{ft}[/tex]

[tex]20.91\ \text{ft}^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

r = Radius

h = Height

Volume of cylinder = [tex]7.35\ \text{ft}^3[/tex]

[tex]V=\pi r^2h\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{V}{\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{7.35}{\pi r^2}[/tex]

Surface area is given by

[tex]A=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh\\\Rightarrow A=2\pi r^2+2\pi r\dfrac{7.35}{\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow A=2\pi r^2+\dfrac{14.7}{r}[/tex]

Differentiating with respect to radius we get

[tex]\dfrac{dA}{dr}=4\pi r-\dfrac{14.7}{r^2}[/tex]

Equating with zero we get

[tex]0=4\pi r-\dfrac{14.7}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow 4\pi r=\dfrac{14.7}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow r^3=\dfrac{14.7}{4\pi}\\\Rightarrow r=(\dfrac{14.7}{4\pi})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=1.05[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{d^2A}{dr^2}=4\pi-2\times \dfrac{14.7}{r^3}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d^2A}{dr^2}=4\pi+2\times \dfrac{14.7}{1.05^3}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d^2A}{dr^2}=37.96>0[/tex]

So, the value of the function is minimum at [tex]r=1.05[/tex]

[tex]h=\dfrac{7.35}{\pi r^2}=\dfrac{7.35}{\pi 1.05^2}\\\Rightarrow h=2.12[/tex]

So, the radius and height which would minimize the surface area is 1.05 feet and 2.12 feet respectively.

Surface area

[tex]A=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh\\\Rightarrow A=2\pi \times 1.05^2+2\pi 1.05\times 2.12\\\Rightarrow A=20.91\ \text{ft}^3[/tex]

The minimum surface area is [tex]20.91\ \text{ft}^3[/tex].

What is the value of x?


Enter your answer in the box.

x =

Answers

x=12 because say if we choose the base line as our example then the baseline for the small triangle is 7 and the baseline for the bigger triangle is 28. To get from 7 to 28 you have to times by 4 , so the triangle has been enlarged by 4. If we get the side where it says 25 (for the smaller triangle) we can times it by 4 to get 100. Our equation is now 100=6x+28. To work this equation out you do -28 for both sides which equals to 72=6x.
Then we divide by 6 on both sides to get our answer as 12=x

A triangular plot of land has sides of lengths 420 feet, 330 feet, and 180 feet. Approximate the smallest angle between the sides. The choices are rounded to the nearest degree.
A. 30 degree
B. 27 degree
C. 22 degree
D. 24 degree

Answers

Answer:

D. 24 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides of the triangle are

a = 330 ft

b = 180 ft

c = 420 ft

From cosine rule we have

[tex]\angle A=\cos^{-1}(\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc})\\ =\cos^{-1}(\dfrac{180^2+420^2-330^2}{2\times180\times 420})\\ =48.65^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\angle B=\cos^{-1}(\dfrac{a^2+c^2-b^2}{2ac})\\ =\cos^{-1}(\dfrac{330^2+420^2-180^2}{2\times 330\times 420})\\ =24.17^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\angle C=\cos^{-1}(\dfrac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab})\\ =\cos^{-1}(\dfrac{330^2+180^2-420^2}{2\times 330\times 180})\\ =107.19^{\circ}[/tex]

The smallest angle in the triangle is [tex]\angle B=24.17^{\circ}[/tex].

r(x) = 2x²+2
Find the following.

Х
(q or)(-1) = 0

?

Answers

Answer:

(r o q)(-1) = 20

(q o r)(-1) = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]q(x) = -2x + 1[/tex]

[tex]r(x) = 2x^2 + 2[/tex]

Solving (a): (r o q)(-1)

In function:

(r o q)(x) = r(q(x))

So, first we calculate q(-1)

[tex]q(x) = -2x + 1[/tex]

[tex]q(-1) = -2(-1) + 1[/tex]

[tex]q(-1) = 2 + 1[/tex]

[tex]q(-1) = 3[/tex]

Next, we calculate r(q(-1))

Substitute 3 for q(-1)in r(q(-1))

r(q(-1)) = r(3)

This gives:

[tex]r(x) = 2x^2 + 2[/tex]

[tex]r(3) = 2(3)^2 + 2[/tex]

[tex]r(-1) = 2*9 + 2[/tex]

[tex]r(-1) = 20[/tex]

Hence:

(r o q)(-1) = 20

Solving (b): (q o r)(-1)

So, first we calculate r(-1)

[tex]r(x) = 2x^2 + 2[/tex]

[tex]r(-1) = 2(-1)^2 + 2[/tex]

[tex]r(-1) = 2*1 + 2[/tex]

[tex]r(-1) = 6\\[/tex]

Next, we calculate r(q(-1))

Substitute 6 for r(-1)in q(r(-1))

q(r(-1)) = q(6)

[tex]q(x) = -2x + 1[/tex]

[tex]q(6) = -2(6) + 1[/tex]

[tex]q(6) =- 12 + 1[/tex]

[tex]q(6) = -11[/tex]

Hence:

(q o r)(-1) = -11
