Answer:

64 unit cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Elena has 80 unit cubes and needs to construct the largest possible cube, where each unit cube measures 1 unit per side.

To find the largest cube volume close to 80, consider:

$1^{3} = 1$

$2^{3} = 8$

$3^{3} = 27\\$

$4^{3} = 64$

$5^{3} = 125$

A cube with 4 units per side has a volume of 64, while one with 5 units per side has a volume of 125.

Since Elena only has 80 cubes, she can build a cube 4 units on each side, yielding 64 cubic units in volume, leaving 16 cubes unused.

Answer:

The total expected value and standard deviation of your winnings are -$0.081 and $3, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

In European roulette, a wheel with 37 slots is spun: 18 are red, 18 are black, and 1 is green.

Bettors can wager on either red or black. Winning on their chosen color means they double their bet, while losing means they forfeit their stake.

Define the probability for the ball landing in a red slot = $\frac{18}{37}$

The probability of it landing in a black slot = $\frac{18}{37}$

The probability for landing in the green slot = $\frac{1}{37}$

Since bets are only placed on red or black,

The winning probability = $\frac{18}{37}$

and losing probability = $\frac{18}{37}+\frac{1}{37}$

= $\frac{19}{37}$

If a gambler wins, they receive $3, and if they lose, it amounts to -$3.

The expected value of the total winnings is hence;

E(X) = $\sum X \times P(X)$

= $\$3 \times \frac{18}{37} + (-\$3 \times \frac{19}{37})$

= $\$3 \times (-\frac{1}{37})$ = -$0.081

Furthermore, the standard deviation of the total winnings is given by;

S.D.(X) = $\sqrt{(\sum X^{2} \times P(X))-(\sum X \times P(X))^{2} }$

<pTherefore, $E(X^{2})=\sum X^{2} \times P(X)$

= $\$3^{2} \times \frac{18}{37} + (-\$3^{2} \times \frac{19}{37})$

= $\$9 \times (\frac{18}{37}+\frac{19}{37})$ = $9

Thus, S.D.(X) = $\sqrt{\$9-(-\$0.081)^{2} }$

= $\sqrt{8.993}$ = $2.99 ≈ $3

Consequently, the anticipated value and standard deviation of your total winnings are -$0.081 and $3, respectively.

babunello [3666]

Quadratic equations find their application in various real-world scenarios such as: sports, bridges, projectile motion, the curvature of bananas, and so on.

Here are three images representing real-world instances of quadratics:

Example 1: A cyclist travels along a parabolic trajectory to leap over obstacles.

Example 2: A person throws a basketball towards the hoop, moving in a gently upward path described by a quadratic curve.

Example 3: A football player kicks the ball upward, which follows a quadratic path as it travels a distance.

A company buys pens at the rate of $7.50 per box for the first 10 boxes, $5.50 per box for the next 10 boxes, and $4.50 per box

tester [3938]

Let's start by calculating the cost of the first 10 boxes, which totals $75, and the next 10 boxes cost $55.

Together, these 20 boxes amount to $130 spent. With $18 remaining, you can purchase 4 more boxes since 18 divided by 4.5 equals 4.

Therefore, the maximum number of boxes you can buy with $148 is 24.

Response:1 and 2

Step-by-step Explanation:

Provided data

Volume required $V=220\ in.^3$

For the initial cylinder

$r=3\ in.$

$h=4\ in.$

$V=\pi r^2h$

$V_1=\pi (3)^2(4)$

$V_1=113.11\ in^3$

For the second cylinder

$r=4\ in.$

$h=4\ in.$

$V=\pi r^2h$

$V_2=\pi (4)^2(4)$

$V_2=201.08\ in^3$

For the third cylinder

$r=9\ in.$

$h=9\ in.$

$V=\pi r^2h$

$V_3=\pi (9)^2(9)$

$V_3=2290.51\ in^3$

For the fourth cylinder

$r=4\ in.$

$h=9\ in.$

$V=\pi r^2h$

$V_4=\pi (4)^2(9)$

$V_4=452.448\ in^3$

Thus, cylinders $1$ and $2$ meet the requirement as they remain under $220\ in.^3$
