Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Properties of a Liquid

A liquid is a state of matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. This means it does not have a definite shape but maintains a consistent volume.

Step 2: Analyze Each Option
  • Option A: Definite shape and volume - This describes a solid, not a liquid.
  • Option B: Indefinite shape and volume - This describes a gas, not a liquid.
  • Option C: Indefinite shape but definite volume - This correctly describes a liquid.
  • Option D: Definite shape but indefinite volume - This does not describe any common state of matter.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{C}}\)

An elevator has a placard stating that the maximum capacity is 3500 lb-25 passengers. So, 25 adult male passengers can have a mean weight of up to 3500 / 25=140 pounds. Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 185 lb and a standard deviation of 40 lb. a. Find the probability that 1 randomly selected adult male has a weight greater than 140 lb. b. Find the probability that a sample of 25 randomly selected adult males has a mean weight greater than 140 lb. c. What do you conclude about the safety of this elevator? a. The probability that 1 randomly selected adult male has a weight greater than 140 lb is 0.8697. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. The probability that a sample of 25 randomly selected adult males has a mean weight greater than 140 lb is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
