The probability that a fruit picked at random weighs between 443 grams and 492 grams is approximately 0.3695 or 36.95%.

To find the probability that a fruit picked at random weighs between 443 grams and 492 grams, we need to standardize these values using the formula:

z = (x - μ) / σ

where x is the weight of the fruit, μ is the mean weight (438 grams), σ is the standard deviation (17 grams), and z is the standardized score.

For the lower end of the range (443 grams), we have:

z = [tex]\frac{(443 - 438)}{17} = 0.29[/tex]

For the upper end of the range (492 grams), we have:

z = [tex]\frac{(492 - 438)}{17} = 3.18[/tex]

Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, we can find the probability that a standardized score falls between these values.

The probability of a z-score between 0.29 and 3.18 is approximately 0.3695.

If the approximate areas of Colorado and Hawaii are listed as Colorado: 2.7 x 105 square kilometers. The amount  larger is Colorado is: 2.417 x 10^5.

The first step is to divide the area of Hawaii by the area of Colorado and before we do that we must ensure that both of these figures have the same exponent.

So,

2.7 x 10^5 square km - 2.83 x 10^4 square km

2.83 x 10^4 = 0.283 x 10^5

Hence,

2.7 x 10^5 - 0.283 x 10^5

= 2.417 x 10^5

Therefore  Colorado is 2.417 x 10^5 square kilometers larger than Hawaii.

If A and B are mutually exclusive, then the correct answer is c. P(A ∩ B) = 0. This is because mutually exclusive events cannot occur at the same time, meaning the intersection of the events is empty. Therefore, the probability of A and B occurring together is zero.

To explain further, if A represents the event of flipping heads on a coin and B represents the event of flipping tails on the same coin, then these events are mutually exclusive because both cannot occur at the same time. The probability of flipping heads or tails on a coin is 1, but the probability of flipping heads and tails simultaneously is 0. Therefore, P(A ∩ B) = 0.

It is important to note that if A and B are mutually exclusive, then P(A) + P(B) = 1, which is answer choice d. This is because one of the events must occur, but not both. Therefore, the total probability of either A or B occurring is 1. However, this does not directly answer the question about the probability of the intersection of A and B.

Overall, when working with mutually exclusive events, it is important to recognize that they cannot occur at the same time and therefore have no intersection, which makes the probability of A and B occurring together equal to 0.

If A and B are mutually exclusive events, this signifies that they cannot both happen simultaneously. Therefore, the probability of both events occurring, expressed as P(A ∩ B), is equal to 0.

If A and B are mutually exclusive, it means that events A and B cannot occur at the same time. In terms of probability, we express this statement as: the probability that both A and B occur, denoted by P(A ∩ B), is equal to 0. Hence the correct answer is: c. P(A ∩ B) = 0.

This is fundamental in the study of probability and is crucial for understanding more complex concepts such as conditional probability and independence of events.

It's important to note that answers a, b and d are incorrect. Answer a, P(A) + P(B) = 0, implies that neither event can happen which contradicts the definition of mutually exclusive events. Answer b, P(A ∩ B) = 1, implies that A and B must always occur together, which is the exact opposite of what mutual exclusivity means. Answer d, P(A) + P(B) = 1, would be correct if A and B were exhaustive events, which means that either event A or event B is certain to occur.

The measure of the missing angle which is named ∠PQR = 84°

The first step to solving the problem is to identify the nature of the triangle.

Note that the information states that:

Side PQ and QR are equal,
This means that it is an isosceles triangle because only isosceles triangles have two equal sides.

Another property of isosceles triangles that will help determine the m∠PQR is that the angles at the base of those equal sides are always equal.

Since that is true, then,

∠PQR = 180 - (QPR x 2 )

The left side of Green's theorem for this vector field and rectangular path is 32.28 ay.

To evaluate the left side of Green's theorem, we need to compute the line integral of the vector field F along the boundary of the region enclosed by the rectangular path C.

First, let's parameterize the rectangular path C as follows:

r(t) = (x(t), y(t)), where 2.8 ≤ x ≤ 8 and 2.1 ≤ y ≤ 7.5.

The boundary of the rectangular path C is composed of four line segments:

From (2.8, 2.1) to (8, 2.1): r(t) = (t, 2.1), where 2.8 ≤ t ≤ 8.

From (8, 2.1) to (8, 7.5): r(t) = (8, t), where 2.1 ≤ t ≤ 7.5.

From (8, 7.5) to (2.8, 7.5): r(t) = (t, 7.5), where 8 ≤ t ≤ 2.8 (note the reverse order).

From (2.8, 7.5) to (2.8, 2.1): r(t) = (2.8, t), where 7.5 ≥ t ≥ 2.1 (note the reverse order).

We can now evaluate the line integral of F along each of these line segments using the parameterization r(t) and the definition of the line integral:

∫_C F · dr = ∫_(C1) F · dr + ∫_(C2) F · dr + ∫_(C3) F · dr + ∫_(C4) F · dr,

where the dot product F · dr is given by:

F · dr = (x dx + y dy) · (dx ax + dy ay) = x dx^2 + y dy^2.

Let's evaluate each of the line integrals separately:

∫_(C1) F · dr = ∫_(2.8)^8 (t ax + 2.1 ay) · dt = (8 - 2.8) ax + 2.1 (0) ay = 5.2 ax

∫_(C2) F · dr = ∫_(2.1)^7.5 (8 ax + t ay) · dt = 8 (7.5 - 2.1) ay + 8 (0) ax = 46 ay

∫_(C3) F · dr = ∫_(8)^2.8 (t ax + 7.5 ay) · (-dt) = (8 - 2.8) ax + 7.5 (0) ay = -5.2 ax

∫_(C4) F · dr = ∫_(7.5)^2.1 (2.8 ax + t ay) · (-dt) = 2.8 (2.1 - 7.5) ay + 2.8 (0) ax = -13.72 ay

Therefore, the line integral of F along the boundary of the rectangular path C is:

∫_C F · dr = ∫_(C1) F · dr + ∫_(C2) F · dr + ∫_(C3) F · dr + ∫_(C4) F · dr = 5.2 ax + 46 ay - 5.2 ax - 13.72 ay = 32.28 ay.

So the left side of Green's theorem for this vector field and rectangular path is 32.28 ay.

To determine the partial fraction expansion for a rational function, we need to express it as a sum of simpler fractions. However, the general process for finding the partial fraction expansion of a rational function is as follows:

1. Factor the denominator of the rational function into linear and/or quadratic factors.
2. Write the rational function as a sum of fractions, one for each factor of the denominator. For each linear factor, use a constant numerator. For each quadratic factor, use a linear numerator.
3. Solve for the constants using algebraic manipulation and equating the numerators of the partial fractions with the original numerator of the rational function.
4. Write the partial fraction expansion as the sum of the fractions found in step 2 with the constants found in step 3.

For example, if the rational function is (3x^2 + 5x + 2)/(x^2 + 4x + 3), we would first factor the denominator as (x + 3)(x + 1). Then we would write the partial fraction expansion as:

(3x^2 + 5x + 2)/(x^2 + 4x + 3) = A/(x + 3) + B/(x + 1)

To solve for A and B, we would equate the numerators:

3x^2 + 5x + 2 = A(x + 1) + B(x + 3)

Expanding and equating coefficients, we get:

3 = B + A
5 = 3B + A

Solving for A and B, we get:

A = 1
B = 2

Therefore, the partial fraction expansion of (3x^2 + 5x + 2)/(x^2 + 4x + 3) is:

(3x^2 + 5x + 2)/(x^2 + 4x + 3) = 1/(x + 3) + 2/(x + 1)

The dimensions of the box that minimize the amount of material used are a base side length of 25 cm and a height of 25 cm.

Let x be the side length of the square base and h be the height of the box. Since the box has a square base, the volume of the box is V = x²h. We want to minimize the amount of material used, which is given by the surface area of the box, A = x² + 4xh.

Using the volume constraint, we can solve for h in terms of x: h = V / x² = 62,500 / x². Substituting this into the expression for A, we get A = x² + 4x(62,500 / x²) = x² + 250,000 / x.

To minimize A, we take its derivative with respect to x and set it equal to zero: dA/dx = 2x - 250,000 / x² = 0. Solving for x, we get x = 25 cm. Substituting this back into the expression for h, we get h = 25 cm.

It will take God approximately 32 days to use up all the gas in his tanker and need a refill.

If God filled his gas tanker with 19/5/9 tank of gas and uses 1 5/6 gallons of gas each day, we can calculate how many days it will take for him to need a refill.

First, we need to convert the mixed number 19/5/9 to an improper fraction:

19/5/9 = (19 * 9 + 5) / 9 = 176/9

So God has 176/9 tanks of gas in his tanker.

Next, we can calculate how much gas God uses each day:

1 5/6 = (6 * 1 + 5) / 6 = 11/6

So God uses 11/6 gallons of gas each day.

To find out how many days it will take for God to need a refill, we can divide the amount of gas in his tanker by the amount of gas he uses each day:

(176/9) / (11/6) = (176/9) * (6/11) = 32

2. Using the tangent function, we can write the following equations:

```

tan(38) = x/700

tan(26) = y/1050

```

3. Solve the first equation for x:

```

x = 700tan(38)

```

4. Substitute this value of x into the second equation:

```

y/1050 = tan(26)

y = 1050tan(26)

```

5. Subtract the two equations to find the difference between the heights of the two balloons:

```

y - x = 1050tan(26) - 700tan(38)

```

6. Evaluate this expression using a calculator and round your answer to the nearest tenth:

```

y - x = 266.51 meters

```

Therefore, the balloon on the right is 266.51 meters higher than the balloon on the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove that the product of two odd integers is odd, we can follow these steps and justifications:

1. Let x and y be two odd integers.
(We start by assuming x and y are odd integers.)

2. x = 2a + 1 and y = 2b + 1, where a and b are integers.
(Since x and y are odd, they can be expressed in this form, as the sum of an even integer (2a or 2b) and 1.)

3. Find the product of x and y: xy = (2a + 1)(2b + 1).
(To show that their product is odd, we multiply x and y.)

4. Expand the product: xy = 4ab + 2a + 2b + 1.
(Using the distributive property to multiply and simplify.)

5. Factor out a 2: xy = 2(2ab + a + b) + 1.
(We factor out a 2 from the even terms to emphasize the structure of the expression.)

6. Let c = 2ab + a + b, where c is an integer.
(We introduce a new variable, c, to represent the sum of the even terms.)

7. Therefore, xy = 2c + 1, where c is an integer.
(Substituting c back into the expression for xy.)

8. The product xy is an odd integer.
(Since xy is in the form of an even integer (2c) plus 1, it is an odd integer.)

In conclusion, the product of two odd integers (x and y) is also an odd integer, as we have proven through these steps and justifications.

The present age of the Father is 35 and the age of the Son is 15 years after solving the given problem.

By examining the given problem we can solve it in the following way:

Present age:

Let x = Son's present age

x + 20 = Father's present age

5 years ago:

x - 5 = Son's age 5 years ago

x + 20 -5 = father's age 5 years ago

Father's age 5 years ago = 3( Son's age 5 years ago )

x + 20 - 5 = 3 (x - 5)

x + 15 = 3x - 15

2x = 30

x = 15

x = 15, Son's present age

x + 20 = 35 = father's present age.
