In a port, the median weight of a container is 4,700 lbs, with a standard deviation of 500 pounds. 14% of the containers weigh m

ore than 5,900 pounds.
Why can't this data be represented by a normal distribution?

Because the containers are too heavy.
Because the standard deviation is too small.
Because the standard deviation is too big.
Because we don't know the number of containers.

A normal distribution is most effective when dealing with a substantial sample size. Without knowing how many containers there are, it's challenging to determine if it’s suitable for modeling the container weights.

AREA, PERIMETER & VOLUME QUESTION
Inessa [8989]
1. Selected Case B. 2. 9 cm³. 3. 20 cm. 4. 4.5 m³. Explanation: In question 1, we need to fit a drum with a volume of 14,000 cm³. The volume of a cylinder can be calculated via the formula πr²h. For Case A, with r = 100 mm (10 cm) and h = 300 mm (30 cm), the total volume is approximately 9424.78 cm³, insufficient for the given drum. Case B, with r = 200 mm (20 cm) and h = 30 cm, gives a volume of approximately 37699.11 cm³. Case C with r = 32 cm and h = 250 mm (25 cm) results in a volume of about 80424.77 cm³. The smallest volume among Cases B and C is Case B at 37699.11 cm³, thus it is the correct choice. For question 2, the dimensions of the speaker are Length = 45 cm = 0.45 m, Width = 0.4 m, Height = 50 cm = 0.5 m, leading to a volume of 0.09 m³ or 9 cm³. Question 3 involves a speaker with a volume of 30,000 cm³ with Length = 30 cm = 0.45 m and Height = 500 mm = 50 cm, requiring to find its Width: 30,000 = 30 × W × 50, hence W = 20 cm. For question 4, with dimensions of Base = 2 m, Length = 3 m, Height =1.5 m, the volume of the prism is calculated as 4.5 m³.

The mayor of a town receives 75% of the votes in a town election. If 680 people voted, how many votes did the mayor receive? 360
zzz [9066]
First, you need to convert everything to a single unit. For this example, I'll use fractions.
75% = 3/4

680/1 * 3/4

Cross Multiply

2040/4

Reduce

510

The mayor garnered 510 votes.

What is the product? StartFraction 3 k Over k + 1 EndFraction times StartFraction k squared minus 1 Over 3 k cubed EndFraction S
PIT_PIT [9101]

Answer:

StartFraction negative 1 Over k cubed EndFraction

Detailed breakdown:

3k / (k + 1) × (k² - 1) / 3k³

= 3k(k² - 1) / (k + 1)(3k³)

= 3k³ - 3k / 3k⁴ + 3k³

= -3k / 3k⁴

= -1/k³

StartFraction k + 1 Over k squared EndFraction

(k + 1) / k²

StartFraction k minus 1 Over k squared EndFraction

(k - 1)/k²

StartFraction negative 1 Over k cubed EndFraction

= -1/k³

StartFraction 1 Over k EndFraction

= 1/k

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah's reasoning reflects an adherence to Pitfalls 5 and 6.

Association in statistics does not equate to causation; there must be a robust basis for claiming cause and effect. Even if such evidence were presented, it is erroneous to extend group results to individuals.
