The length of a log of wood is 90 in. How many cuts do you need to make to obtain

1 answer:

6 0

The greatest number of pieces will be 12 where each piece will have a different length and the length of each piece is a whole number, in inches and the remaining piece length will be 12 in(90 - 78).

<h3>What is a sequence?</h3>

It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.

The total length of the wood = 90 in

We have to cut it into the greatest number of pieces, where each piece will have a different length and the length of each piece is a whole number, in inches.

We can cut it like:

1 in, 2 in, 3 in, 4 in, and so on

The above shows the arithmetic sequence,

The sum of the n natural number is given by:

$\rm S_n = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}$

$\rm 90 = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}$

After solving, we will get a quadratic equation:

n² + n -180 = 0

After solving, we will get:

n = 12.92 and n = -13.92(term can not be negative)

n = 12 (taking whole number)

Thus, the greatest number of pieces will be 12 where each piece will have a different length and the length of each piece is a whole number, in inches and the remaining piece length will be 12 in(90 - 78).

Calculating the degrees of freedom, the sample variance, and the estimated standard error for evaluations using the t statistic

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

a) For the first part we have a sample of n =10 and we want to find the degrees of freedom, and we can use the following formula:

$df = n-1= 10-1=9$

d.9

b) $s^2 = \frac{SS}{n-1}= \frac{600}{41-1}= 15$

a.15

c) For this case we have the sample size n = 25 and the sample variance is $s^2 =400$ , the standard error can founded with this formula:

$SE = \frac{s^2}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{400}{\sqrt{25}}= 80$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For the first part we have a sample of n =10 and we want to find the degrees of freedom, and we can use the following formula:

$df = n-1= 10-1=9$

d.9

Part b

From a sample we know that n=41 and SS= 600, where SS represent the sum of quares given by:

$SS = \sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2$

And the sample variance for this case can be calculated from this formula:

$s^2 = \frac{SS}{n-1}= \frac{600}{41-1}= 15$

a.15

Part c

For this case we have the sample size n = 25 and the sample variance is $s^2 =400$ , the standard error can founded with this formula:

$SE = \frac{s^2}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{400}{\sqrt{25}}= 80$

Given:

The vertices of the rectangle ABCD are A(0,1), B(2,4), C(6,0), D(4,-3).

To find:

The area of the rectangle.

Solution:

Distance formula:

$D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Using the distance formula, we get

$AB=\sqrt{(2-0)^2+(4-1)^2}$

$AB=\sqrt{(2)^2+(3)^2}$

$AB=\sqrt{4+9}$

$AB=\sqrt{13}$

Similarly,

$BC=\sqrt{(6-2)^2+(0-4)^2}$

$BC=\sqrt{(4)^2+(-4)^2}$

$BC=\sqrt{16+16}$

$BC=\sqrt{32}$

$BC=4\sqrt{2}$

Now, the length of the rectangle is $AB=\sqrt{13}$ and the width of the rectangle is $BC=4\sqrt{2}$ . So, the area of the rectangle is:

$A=length \times width$

$A=\sqrt{13}\times 4\sqrt{2}$

$A=4\sqrt{26}$

$A\approx 20$

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 20 square units.
