This illustrates a normal distribution, with an average weight of 14 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.7 ounces.
14.7 is calculated as 14 + 0.7 = Average + 1 Standard Deviation.
Therefore, the percentage of cans weighing over 14.7 ounces is:
100% - ( 50 % + 34 % ) = 100% - 84% = 16%
This results in 16 out of 100 cans: 16/100 * 100 = 16.
Final answer: 16 cans.

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a sample of 100 cans of peas showed an average weight of 14 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.7 ounces.

Thus, \mu = 14

\sigma = 0.7

Formula: z =\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Given we need to find the number of cans exceeding 14.7 ounces

So, x = 14.7

z =\frac{14.7-14}{0.7}

z =1

Utilizing the z table

P(z>1)=1-P(z<1)=1-0.8413=0.1587

In a sample of 100 cans

Thus, the count of cans weighing over 14.7 ounces = 0.1587\times 100

                                                                            = 15.87

Consequently, the number of cans weighing more than 14.7 ounces is 16.

zzz [11864]
Regarding the logarithmic equation, option c is correct: x=6 is a valid solution, while x=-6 is considered an extraneous solution. Explanation: The equation requires dividing both sides by 2, simplifying further until each step can be logically followed based on logarithmic definitions, from which we affirm that both sides equal when substituting back the values, confirming that x=6 is the true solution.

a golfer needs to hit a ball a distance of 500 feet, but there is a 60-foot tall tree that is 100 feet in front of the point whe
Svet_ta [12294]
We can formulate the trajectory of the parabola using the vertex form equation: y = a (x – h)^2 + k. The coordinates for the vertex are at h and k, representing the peak height, thus h = 250 and k = 120. Consequently, the equation becomes y = a (x – 250)^2 + 120. At the starting point where x = 0 and y = 0, we find a: 0 = a (0 – 250)^2 + 120, which simplifies to 0 = a (62,500) + 120, leading to a = -0.00192. The complete equation is y = -0.00192 (x – 250)^2 + 120. To determine y when x = 400, we substitute: y = -0.00192 (400 - 250)^2 + 120, yielding y = 76.8 ft. Hence, the ball clears the tree by 76.8 ft – 60 ft = 16.8 ft.

Find the value of x in the isosceles triangle shown below.
Leona [12131]

Solution:

x=8

Detailed explanation:

This isosceles triangle consists of two right triangles with sides equal to 8,\sqrt{80}, and y

Considering we possess two sides of a right triangle, determining the third side can be achieved using the Pythagorean Theorem

(\sqrt{80} )^2=8^2+y^2\\\\80=64+y^2\\\\y^2=16\\\\y=4

Because it is an isosceles triangle, these two right triangles are the same, thus x=2y

Hence, x=2(4)=8

As part of Kayla's exercise program, she either runs 6 miles/day or rides her bike 10 miles/day. Her new goal is to cover a mini
lawyer [12118]
To find out the number of days, we should create equations based on the values provided. The total distance Kayla aims to travel combines both her running distance and her biking distance.

200 miles = (6 miles/day)x + (10 miles/day)y

where x signifies the days she spent running and y represents the days bike riding.

If the minimum biking days are set to be 15, indicated by y = 15, we have:

200 miles = (6 miles/day)x + (10 miles/day)(15 days)

Solving for x gives:
200 = 6x + 150
50 = 6x
x = 8.3333 days

Total days = 15 days biking + 8.3333 days running = 23.3333 days, approximately making it 24 days.

Consider the vibrating system described by the initial value problem. (A computer algebra system is recommended.) u'' + u = 8 co
PIT_PIT [11932]

Answer:

u(t)  = -(3 + w^2 ) cos t /(1- w^2)cos t + 7 sin t + 8 cos wt /(1- w^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The characteristic equation is k² + 1 = 0, which leads to k² = -1, resulting in k = ±i.

The roots are k = i or -i.

The general solution takes the form  u(x)=C₁cosx+C₂sinx.

Applying the method of undetermined coefficients, we have

Uc(t) = Pcos wt  + Qsin wt

Calculating the derivatives gives us Uc’(t) = -Pwsin wt  + Qwcos wt

And differentiating again yields Uc’’(t) = -Pw^2cos wt  - Qw^2sin wt

With the equation U’’ + u = 8cos wt, we substitute:

-Pw^2cos wt  - Qw^2sin wt + Pcos wt  + Qsin wt = 8cos wt.

This simplifies to (-Pw^2 + P) cos wt   + (-Qw^2 + Q) sin wt = 8cos wt.

From -Pw^2 + P = 8, we find P= 8  /(1- w^2).

From -Qw^2 + Q = 8, we can conclude Q = 0.

Thus, Uc(t) = Pcos wt  + Qsin wt = 8 cos wt /(1- w^2).

Combining gives us U(t) = uh(t ) + Uc(t)

     = C1cos t + c2 sin t + 8 cos wt /(1- w^2).

Initial conditions yield:

U(0) = C1cos(0) + c2 sin (0) + 8 cos (0) /(1- w^2)

Which leads us to C1 + 8 /(1- w^2) = 5

So C1 = 5 - 8 /(1- w^2) = -(3 + w^2 ) /(1- w^2).

Next, taking the derivative:

U’(t) = -C1 sin t + c2 cos t - 8 w sin wt /(1- w^2).

Evaluating at t = 0 gives us:

U’(0) = -C1 sin (0) + c2 cos (0) - 8 w sin (0) /(1- w^2) = 7.

Thus, c2 = 7.

  u(t)  = -(3 + w^2 ) cos t /(1- w^2)cos t + 7 sin t + 8 cos wt /(1- w^2)
