Answer:
Length = 27 metres
Width = 9 metres
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the width to be x.
Then the length will be 3x.
The perimeter is 66m when the width is increased by 1m and the length is decreased by 4m.
So the dimensions will become:
Length=3x-4
Width=x+1
Now solve for the variable x using the formula for perimeter of a rectangle:
P = 2(l+b)
66 = 2(3x-4+x+1) (Divide both sides by 2 and simplify the parentheses)
33 = 4x-3 (Add 3 to both sides)
36 = 4x (Divide both sides by 4)
x = 9
Now plug-in the value of x into the original dimensions which were:
Length=3x
Width=x
So the dimensions are:
Length = 27 metres
Width = 9 metres
Answer:
1. P(P) = 8/20 = 0.4
2. P(G) = 12/20 = 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Number of green marbles G = 12
Number of purple marbles P = 8
Total T = 12+8 = 20
The probability that you choose a purple marble P(P) is;
P(P) = number of purple marbles/total number of marbles
P(P) = P/T = 8/20 = 0.4
P(P) = 0.4
The probability that you choose a Green marble P(G) is;
P(G) = number of Green marbles/total number of marbles
P(G) = G/T = 12/20 = 0.6
P(G) = 0.6
Yes 2/4 is less than 2/3 :) I hope this helps
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Poisson Distribution;
Average rent in a week = 2.3
Required
Determine the probability of renting no more than 1 apartment
A Poisson distribution is given as;

Where y represents λ (average)
y = 2.3
<em>Probability of renting no more than 1 apartment = Probability of renting no apartment + Probability of renting 1 apartment</em>
<em />
Using probability notations;

Solving for P(X = 0) [substitute 0 for x and 2.3 for y]




Solving for P(X = 1) [substitute 1 for x and 2.3 for y]









Hence, the required probability is 0.331
Exact form: x= NEGATIVE 6/7
