You want to buy a special handcrafted square box. Since each box is uniquely handcrafted and you did not bring you ruler, you are not sure of the exact dimensions. Let X be the length of one of the sides, and assume that X is uniformly distributed between 15 and 18 inches. a) What is the expected volume of the box that you buy

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Uniform Distribution X

X: 15 to 18

Required

Determine the expected volume

Since, X is uniformly distributed; We have to first determine the expected value of X as follows;

Where b = 18 and a = 15

Since the box is a square box, the volume is as follows;

Hence, the expected volume is 4492.125 unit³

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1
