During the 2009-2010 basketball season, the number of points scored in each game by the boston celtics was approximately normally distributed with a mean of 99.2 points and a standard deviation of 10.5 pthe mean number of points scored by los angeles lakers was 101.7. in what proportion of their games did the celtics score more than the lakers' mean score?

To solve this problem, we use the z statistic.  The z formula is:

z = (x – u) / s

where x is lakers score = 101.7, u is Celtics score = 99.2, s is standard dev = 10.5

z = (101.7 – 99.2) / 10.5 = 0.24

using the normal distribution table at z = 0.24, the P value is:

P (z = 0.24) = 0.5984 = 59.84%

answer: ratio of volume of cone (with 3 times the height and equal diameter) to volume of cylinder is 2 to 1. the value of π is not used.

step-by-step explanation:

radius is diameter/2 = 4.

area of circle is π r^2.

volume of cylinder is height × area of base = hπr^2 = 3(4^2) π = 48π cubic inches.

not knowing the formula for volume of cone, i calculate it using calculus (which is for calculating things).

volume of cone is integral 0 to h area(y) dy. area(y) is π r(y)^2. r(y) runs r to zero as y runs zero to h, r(0) = r, r(h) = 0.

r(y) = r - r/h y

area(y) = π (r - r/h y)^2 = π (r^2 - 2r^2y/h + r^2y^2/h^2) = π r^2(1-2y/h+y^2/h^2)

antiderivative area(y) = π r^2 (y-y^2/h+y^3/(3h^2))

integral 0 to h = π r^2(h-h^2/h+h^3/(3h^2) - (0)) = π r^2(h - h + h/3) = π r^2(h/3) = π/3 r^2 h

volume of this cone is π/3(4^2)18 cubic inches.

= 6 16 π = 96π cubic inches.

cone has twice the volume, 96/48.

cone height is 6 times the cylinder.

ratio of volume formula: π r^2 cancels.

cone over cylinder ratio is 6h/3 to h, 2 to 1.
