Answer:

12 trips

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Dimension of cone shapef pile of earth;

height h = 12 ft = 4 yards

diameter d = 30 ft = 10 yards

radius r = d/2 = 10/2 = 5 yards

The volume of a cone V;

V = (1/3)πr^2 h

Substituting the given values;

V = (1/3) ×π × 5^2 × 4 cubic yards

V = 104.72 cubic yards

Given that a dump truck have a capacity of 9 cubic yards.

Vc = 9 cubic yards

Number of trips it will take is;

N = Volume of earth pile/truck capacity

N = V/Vc

Substituting the values;

N = 104.72/9

N = 11.64

N ≈ 12 trips

Therefore, the truck will make 12 trips

How do you find the area of a regular polygon?

weqwewe [10]

Each of the triangles are equal in base length, height, and area. Remember the formula for the area of a triangle. The area of any triangle is 1/2 times the length of the base (which, in the polygon, is the length of a side) multiplied by the height (which is the same as the apothem in regular polygon)

A box contains 3 green marbles, 5 blue marbles, and 7 red marbles. Three marbles are selected at random from the box, one at a t

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The probability is $P(K) = \frac{ 28 }{195}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of green marbles is $n_g = 3$

The number of red marbles is $n_b = 5$

The number of red marbles is $n_r = 7$

Generally the total number of marbles is mathematically represented as

$n_t = n_r + n_g + n_ b$

$n_t = 7 + 3 + 5$

$n_t = 5$

Generally total number of marbles that are not red is

$n_k = n_g + n_ b$

=> $n_k = 3 + 5$

=> $n_k = 8$

The probability of the first ball not being red is mathematically represented as

$P(r') = \frac{n_k}{n_t}$

=> $P(r') = \frac{ 8}{15}$

The probability of the second ball not being red is mathematically represented as

$P(r'') = \frac{n_k - 1}{n_t -1}$

=> $P(r'') = \frac{ 8 -1 }{15-1}$ (the subtraction is because the marbles where selected without replacement )

=> $P(r'') = \frac{ 7 }{14}$

The probability that the first two balls is not red is mathematically represented as

$P(R) = P(r') * P(r'')$

=> $P(R) = \frac{ 8}{15} * \frac{ 7 }{14}$

=> $P(R) = \frac{ 8 }{30}$

The probability of the third ball being red is mathematically represented as

$P(r) = \frac{n_r}{ n_t -2}$ (the subtraction is because the marbles where selected without replacement )

$P(r) = \frac{7}{ 15 -2}$

=> $P(r) = \frac{7}{ 13}$

Generally the probability of the first two marble not being red and the third marble being red is mathematically represented as

$P(K) = P(R) * P(r)$

$P(K) = \frac{ 8 }{30} * \frac{7}{ 13}$

=> $P(K) = \frac{ 28 }{195}$

The lengths of salamanders have a normal distribution with mean 15cm, and standard deviation 2cm. What length of salamander woul

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

16.68 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean , m = 15

Standard deviation, s = 2

Length of salamander that would Place it at 80% of salamander length :

P(Z ≤ x) = 0.8

Zscore equivalent to 0.8 = 0.842

Using the relation :

Zscore = (x - m) /s

0.842 = (x - 15) / 2

1.684 = x - 15

Add 15 to both sides

1.684 + 15 = x - 15 + 15

16.684 = x

Hence, x = 16.68 cm
