Bundles of wood |
2007-11-19 |
|
From Darcy:
When you purchase a "bundle" of wood at the store, it is marked .75 cubic feet. What is the formula for figuring out that measurement for cubic feet and what fraction of a true cord of wood (128 cubic feet) is it. I would appreciate the formula so I can build a spreadsheet to help my secretaries and myself be in compliance to the law when selling firewood. Thanks.

Confidence level |
2007-11-19 |
|
From Fara:
It is common for public opinion polls to have a " confidence level" of 95%, meaning
that there is a 0.95 probability that the poll results are accurate within the claimed margins of error.
If six different organizations conduct independent polls, what is the probability that all
six of them are accurate within the claimed margins of error? Does the results suggest that
with a confidence level of 95%, we can expect that almost all polls will be within the claimed
margin of error?

Cubic feet and gallons |
2007-11-19 |
|
From Leonard:
Every conversion I find to convert a cubic foot to a gallon is in liquid.
Question, how would 1 cubic foot convert to gallons in dry measurement?
Example say you have 1 Gallon of packing peanuts how many cubic feet would that be?
I can do this and have done it for the heck of it, I took a box 12x12x12 inches, which is a cubic foot,
filled it with packing peanuts the tried to fill a 1 Gallon container, that amount almost fills a 1 gallon
bucket twice.
I even ask a math teacher and was told that 1 cubic foot equaled 7.481 gallons,
then I said that is liquid, teacher ansered yes, then i ask what about dry and got
a response of I do not know.

La somme de deux fonctions |
2007-11-19 |
|
From maud:
Consigne : Ecrire la fonction f comme somme de deux fonctions u et v définies sur I. Donner le sens de variation de u et de v sur I. En déduire le sens de variation de la fonction f sur l'intervalle I indiqué.
f(x)=-2x+(1sur x)
I=]0;+infini[
Correction : Sens de variation de f sur I=]0;+infini[
On a f(x)=u(x) + v(x), avec {u(x) = -2x et v(x) = 1sur x
La fonction u est strictement décroissante sur R, donc sur I ( droite avec coefficient directeur -2 négatif).
La fonction v qui est la fonction inverse est stricyement décroissante sur [0;+infini[.
Donc, la fonction f = u+v est strictement décroissante sur [0;+infini[.
Ma question : Pourquoi la fonction v et la fonction f ne sont pas définies sur le même intervalle que la fonction u c'est-à-dire sur l'intervalle I indiqué ?

Elimination of mayan prisoners |
2007-11-19 |

From Jim:
An evil Mayan emperor decides to make an example of 1,000 prisoners. He stands them in a circle with numbers one to a thousand marked on their shirts. He then starts counting: "one in, two, in three out" The third man is immediately executed. This continues round and round and round the circle. While the number in the circle shrinks, every third prisoner is pushed out and executed. And it continues even when there are only two prisoners left alive. What number is on the last prisoner's shirt?
