The dimensions of the bulletin board is 2 ft and 9 ft.

Let the width of board = x

Then, the length of board = 7+x

Area of board = 18 ft²

Area of rectangle = L×W

so, (7+x) × x = 18 ft²

7x + x² = 18 ft²

7x + x² + 18 = 0

x² + 9x -2x -18 = 0

x(x+9) -2(x+9) = 0

(x+9) (x-2) = 0

x+9 =0, x -2 = 0

Dimension can not be in negative number, so

x = 2, Width = 2 ft

Length = 2+7 = 9 ft

Hence, the dimensions of board will be:

The width of board = 2 ft

And, the length of bard = 9 ft.

Simplify.

x = -892

The mean time it takes to walk to the bus stop is 8 minutes (with a standard deviation of 2 minutes) and the mean time it takes

kifflom [539]

We have been given for a normal distribution the mean time it takes to walk to the bus stop is 8 minutes with a standard deviation of 2 minutes. And the mean time it takes for the bus to get to school is 20 minutes with a standard deviation of 4 minutes.

(a) Average time that it would take reach school can be obtained by adding the average times.

8+20 = 28 minutes.

(b) Standard deviation of the trip to school can be found as:

$\sigma =\sqrt{2^{2}+4^{2}}=\sqrt{4+16}=\sqrt{20}=4.47$
