Answers

Answer 1

Given:

A rectangle has a width that is 5 feet less than the length. The area of the rectangle is 126 square feet

[tex]\\[/tex]

❍Let's assume, Length of rectangle x feet and width of the rectangle x - 5 feet respectively.

[tex]\\[/tex]

To calculate the dimensions of the rectangle we will use the formula of Area of rectangle:

[tex]\\[/tex]

[tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: { \underline{ \boxed{ \pmb{ \frak{ Area_{(rectangle)} = Length \times width }}}}} \\ \\ [/tex]

[tex]\\[/tex]

[tex] \underline {\sf{Substituting \: the \: values~ in~ above~formula: }} \\ [/tex]

[tex]\\[/tex]

[tex] : \implies \sf \:x \times (x - 5) = 126 \\ \\ \\ : \implies \sf \:x^2 - 5x = 126 \\ \\ \\ : \implies \sf \:x^2 - 5x - 126 = 0 \\ \\ \\ : \implies \sf \:x^2 - 14x - 9x - 126 = 0 \\ \\ \\ : \implies \sf \:x (x - 14) - 9 (x + 14) = 0 \\ \\ \\ : \implies \sf \:(x - 14)(x - 9) = 0 \\ \\ \\ : \implies { \boxed { \purple{\pmb { \: x = 14 \: \: or \: \: x = -9}}} } \\ \\ \\ [/tex]

We know that side can't be negative. So, x = 14 feet

Hence,

Width of rectangle = x - 5 = 9 feetLength of rectangle = x = 14 feet

[tex]\\[/tex]

[tex] \\ { \underline{ \pmb{ \frak{\therefore Dimensions \: of \: rectangle \: are \: 9~ feet \: and \: 14 ~feet \: }}}}[/tex]

Answer 2

Given that, width of the rectangle is 5 feet less than the length and area of the rectangle is 126 sq. feet, and we are told to find the dimensions i.e the length and width of the rectangle.

As we know that the area of a rectangle is length times it's width, so if we assume our length to be x, so our width is just going to be (x - 5) , and putting it in the area formule we can thus obtain;

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf x(x-5)=126}[/tex]

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf x^{2}-5x-126=0}[/tex]

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf x^{2}-14x+9x-126=0}[/tex]

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf x(x-14)+9(x-14)=0}[/tex]

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf (x-14)(x+9)=0}[/tex]

So, here either (x - 14) = 0 or (x + 9) = 0, when you equate both, you will get x = 14 or -9 but as x ≠ -9, so x = 14, and then x - 5 = 14 - 5 = 9

Hence, the required length and width are 14 feet and 9 feet respectively

Answer:

  (x, y, z) ≈ (30.375, 12.369, 13.915)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make use of the fact that all of these right triangles are similar. That mean the ratio of the hypotenuse to the long side is the same for each of them.

  27/24 = x/27

  x = 27²/24 = 30.375 . . . . . . multiply by 27

__

Likewise, the ratio of short side to long side is the same for each:

  y/24 = (30.375 -24)/y

  y² = 24(6.375)

  y = √153 ≈ 12.369

__

And the ratio of short side to hypotenuse is the same:

  z/30.375 = 6.375/z

  z² = 30.375×6.375 = 193.640625

needless to say that the conversion from miles to kilometers uses a constant value, and therefore, they're directly proportional.

now, I could write the direct proportional relation blah blah but there's no need, we can simply squeeze it out of the table by simply checking how many kilometers there are in 1 mile.

well, we know that 11.0 miles give us 17.699 km, ok hmmm if we divide 17.699 ÷ 11 = 1.609.

if we do the same on table for 26 and 41.834, so 41.834 ÷ 26 = 1.609, and the next pair 54.706 ÷ 34 = 1.609, the value of 1.609 is consistent or constant, or namely that there are 1.609 kilometers in 1 mile.

Let x be a random variable with uniform distribution on (100,200). Find the probability that x assumes a value

Answers

if your saying (100,200) on a graph then c will be 100 because first veritable is always going to be x

The probability that x assumes a value less than three standard deviations from the mean is 1.

What is uniform distribution?

The continuous uniform distribution, sometimes known as the rectangle distribution, is a family of symmetric probability distributions in probability theory and statistics.

We have:

x be a random variable with uniform distribution on (100,200).

It is required to find the probability that x assumes a value less than three standard deviations from the mean.

From the empirical rule, the data falls within three standard deviations of the mean in 99.7% of cases.

99.7% data from the (100, 200) is up to 199.7

Total number of favourable outcomes = 99.7

The probability that x assumes a value less than three standard deviations from the mean:

= 99.7/(200-100)

= 0.997 ≈ 1

Thus, the probability that x assumes a value less than three standard deviations from the mean is 1.

Business Weekly conducted a survey of recent graduates from the top MBA programs. On the basis of the survey, assume that 60% of the recent graduates annual salary exceeds $40000. Suppose you take a simple random sample of 51 recent graduates. Note: round all z scores to decimal places and all other numbers to 4 decimal places. Find the probability that less than 70% of the 51 recent graduates have an annual salary exceeding $40000

Answers

Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that there is a 0.9279 = 92.79% probability that less than 70% of the 51 recent graduates have an annual salary exceeding $40000.

Normal Probability Distribution

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.By the Central Limit Theorem, for a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of sample proportion is approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}}[/tex], as long as [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and [tex]n(1 - p) \geq 10[/tex].

In this problem, we have that:

60% of the recent graduates annual salary exceeds $40000, hence p = 0.6.A sample of 51 is taken, hence n = 51.

The mean and the standard error are given by:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.6[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.6(0.4)}{51}} = 0.0686[/tex]

The probability that less than 70% of the 51 recent graduates have an annual salary exceeding $40000 is the p-value of Z when X = 0.7, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.7 - 0.6}{0.0686}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.46[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.46[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9279.

0.9279 = 92.79% probability that less than 70% of the 51 recent graduates have an annual salary exceeding $40000.
