Answered

explosive devices used in mining operations produce nearly circular craters when detonated. the radii of these craters are exponentially distributed with mean 10 feet. find the mean and variance of the areas produced by these explosive devices.



Answer :

The mean and the variance of the areas produced by these explosive devices is 314

Variance:

In statistics, variance refers a measure of dispersion that takes into account the spread of all data points in a data set.

Given,

Here explosive devices used in mining operations produce nearly circular craters when detonated. the radii of these craters are exponentially distributed with mean 10 feet.

Now, we need to find the mean and variance of the areas produced by these explosive devices.

In order to find the means and variance we have to use the formula ,

A = πr²

Here the value of r is 10,

Then the value of A is calculated as,

=> A =  π(10)²

=> A =  π x 100

We know that the value of  π = 3.14, then the value of A is,

=> A = 3.14 x 100

=> A = 314.
