Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a rectangle is

length × width = 300 ft²

length = width + 5

(width + 5) × width = 300

width² + 5×width = 300

width² + 5×width - 300 = 0

the general solution to such a quadratic equation is

width = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = 5

c = -300

width = (-5 ± sqrt(5² - 4×1×-300))/(2×1) =

= (-5 ± sqrt(25 + 1200))/2 =

= (-5 ± sqrt(1225))/2 = (-5 ± 35)/2

width1 = (-5 + 35)/2 = 30/2 = 15 ft

width2 = (-5 - 35)/2 = -40/2 = -20 ft

negative lengths for an actual object don't make sense, so width = 15 ft is our solution.

length = width + 5 = 15 + 5 = 20 ft

Answer:

width=x

length=5x

area= 300ft2

area=lxb

300=5x(x)

300=5x^2

x^2=60

x=7.74

7.74(5)=38.7

dimensions are 38.7ft by 7.74 ft

Solve for x and y<br> -2x-y=-9<br> 5x-2y=-9
Lisa [10]

we use equation 1 first.
-2x -y = -9 

 -y = -9 + 2x

y = 9 -2x

We substitute value of y in equation 2

5x - 2 (9 - 2x) = -9

5x -18 - 4x = -9

5x - 4x = -9 + 18

x = 18 -9

x = 9

We now find the value of y

-2x -y = -9

-2 (9) - y = -9

-18 - y = -9

-y = -9 + 18

y = 9 - 18

y = -9

Consider the accompanying data on flexural strength (MPa) for concrete beams of a certain type.
Leona [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is X: flexural strength of concrete beams.

Data:

7.3 6.8 8.6 9.7 11.6 9.7 6.8 7.7 11.8 7.4 8.1 8.7 6.3 7.9 7.0 7.9 7.8 6.5 6.3 7.0 7.5 7.7 7.2 11.3 9.0 10.7 5.1

a.

The point estimate of the mean value is the sample mean. You calculate it using the following formula:

X[bar]= ∑X/n= 219.40/27= 8.1259≅ 8.13

b)x

b.

The point estimate that divides the sample in 50%-50% is the measure of central tendency called Median(Me).

To reach the median you have to calculate it's position (PosMe)

For uneven samples PosMe= (n+1)/2= (27+1)/2= 14 ⇒ This means that the Median is the 14th observation of the data set.

So next is to order the data from lower to heighest and identify the value in the 14th position:

5,1 ; 6,3; 6,3; 6,5 ; 6,8; 6,8; 7; 7; 7,2; 7,3; 7,4 ; 7,5 ; 7,7 ; 7,7 ; 7,8 ; 7,9 ; 7,9 ; 8,1 ; 8,6 ; 8,7 ; 9 ; 9,7 ; 9,7 ; 10,7 ; 11,3 ; 11,6 ; 11,8

Me= 7.7

d) x tilde

c.

The point estimate of the population standard deviation is the sample standard deviation. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so the first step is to calculate the sample variance:

S^2= \frac{1}{n-1}*[sumX^2-\frac{(sumX)^2}{n} ]

∑X²= 1858.92

S^2= \frac{1}{26}*[1858.92-\frac{219.40^2}{27} ] = 2.926

S= √2.926= 1.71

The standard deviation is a measurement of variability, it shows how to disperse the data is concerning the sample mean.

d. This estimate describes the spread of the data.

I hope it helps!
