A hypothesis test 2007-04-09
Katrina pose la question :
I have already tried to do this problem but im having a very had time with it. Can you please help me.

Glamour Magazine sponsored a survey of 2500 prospective brides and found that 60% of them spent less than $750 on their wedding gown. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that less than 62% of brides spend less than $750 on their wedding gown. How are the results affected if it is learned that the responses were obtained from magazine readers who decided to respond to the survey through an Internet Web site?

Surface area of a sphere 2007-04-08
maria pose la question :
I've read your solution to the problem of how to derive the formula of the surface area of the sphere. But i've got a question that initially you demenstrate the area is apprximately equal to that of the lateral area of the cylinder. Afterwards you simply say that the two areas are exactly equal. I'm very confused, how you connect your two statements together. Can you explain to me how they are exactly equal? Your quick reply would be appreciated. Thanks for your help!

find the volume of the solid formed when region bounded by y=x/3, y=2 and the y-axis. it is revolved about the x-axis.

the assignment was to use both the washer method and the shell method but when i solved for the volume, i got different answers. i think my shell method is wrong because i know i'm having difficulties with using "dy" instead of "dx" here's my work so far:

An arched opening for a large doorway 2007-04-08
Richard pose la question :
I am trying to build an arched opening for a large doorway...I know the vertical sides of the opening to be 8'-9" from the floor to the lowest point of the arch on each side...I know it is 15 1/2" from the center horizontal point to the top of the arc...I know the vertical sides are 11'-11" apart...what I need to know is the radius to create the proper arc. Can you help?

Find the volume of the solid 2007-04-07
tricia pose la question :
a solid is constructed so that it has a circular base of radius r centimeters and every plane section perpendicular to a certain diameter of the base is a square, with a side of the square being a chord of the circle. find the volume of the solid at first i thought the length of a side of the square would be r, but that isn't awlays be true- only when the chord is in the center. so how can i solve this without any values? i dont understand the relationship between the chord and radius, except that the radius intercepts the chord at the midpoint. i know i hav to take the integral to get the volume, but how do i even find the area of one of the squares? please help, thanks, tricia
