A rectangle has height and width changing in such a way that the area remains constant 2 square feet. At the instant the height

is 2 feet, the height is changing at a rate of 6 feet/minute. Find the rate of change of the width (in feet/min) at that instant.

Answer:

\frac{1}{3} ft/min indicates the rate at which the width changes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Provided -

The area always maintains a consistent value of 2 square feet.

Height of the rectangle = 2 feet

Rate of height change = 6 feet per minute

Since the area is consistent

2 sq ft = (2 * 6) ft/min * 1 * x ft/min

x = \frac{1}{3} ft/min

babunello [11817]

Answer: 26.3 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The two-standard deviations rule for outliers states that any value lying outside two standard deviations from the average is considered an outlier.

Given that the Mean is 23.5 millimeters (mm) and the standard deviation is 1.4 mm

The maximum thickness that should be reviewed = mean + 2 (standard deviation)

= 23.5 + 2(1.4)

= 23.5 + 2.8

= 26.3 mm

therefore, the maximum thickness warranting machine configuration review by the statistician = 26.3 mm.

Orange M&M’s: The M&M’s web site says that 20% of milk chocolate M&M’s are orange. Let’s assume this is true and set
Zina [12379]

Answer:

The answer is option (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represent the count of orange milk chocolate M&M’s.

The proportion of orange milk chocolate M&M’s is defined as p = 0.20.

In a small bag containing milk chocolate M&M’s, n is established at 55.The occurrence of an orange milk chocolate M&M is independent of the remaining candies.

The random variable X conforms to a Binomial distribution characterized by parameters n = 55 and p = 0.20.

Calculating the average number of orange milk chocolate M&M’s in a package of 55 candies proceeds as follows:

E(X)=np

It is noted that in a randomly selected pack of milk chocolate M&M's there were 14 orange M&M's, indicating that the ratio of orange milk chocolate M&M's in that selection was 25.5%.

This ratio is not unexpected.

This is due to the expected count of orange milk chocolate M&M’s in a 55 candy bag being estimated at 11. Therefore, encountering 14 orange milk chocolate M&M’s does not seem unusual.

Unusual instances typically have exceedingly low probabilities, specifically below 0.05.

To calculate the probability of having P (X ≥ 14), follow the subsequent calculation:

P(X\geq 14)=\sum\limits^{55}_{x=14}{{55\choose x}0.20^{x}(1-0.20)^{55-x}}

The likelihood of obtaining 14 or more orange candies in a milk chocolate M&M’s bag is 0.1968.

This probability is considerably higher than 0.05.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Mrs Atkins is going to choose two students from her class to take part in a competition.
babunello [11817]

Given:
Total girls in class = 16.
Total boys in class = 14.
To determine:
The various combinations for selecting one girl and one boy.
Solution:
We have,
Total girls = 16
Total boys = 14
Thus,
The total combinations for selecting one girl from 16 girls = 16.
The total combinations for selecting one boy from 14 boys = 14.
Now, the various ways to select one girl and one boy amount to:
Therefore, the total number of combinations is 224.
