1. The formula for calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, is:

 P=2L+2W

 P is the perimeter of the rectangle (P=320 feet).
 L is the lenght of the rectangle.
 W is the width of the rectangle.

 2. The problem says that the length of the rectangle is three times the width, so you have:
</span>
 L=3W

 3. When you substitute L=3W and P=320, into P=2L+2W, you obtain:

 P=2L+2W
 320=2(3W)+2W
 320=6W+2W
 8W=320
 W=320/8
 W=40 feet

 4. The barn forms one end of the rectangle. Therefore the linear feet of fence (x) is:

 x=P-W
 x=320 feet-40 feet
 x=280 feet
<span>
 How many linear feet of fence must he buy?
</span>
 The answer is: 280 feet

Explain the difference between observed frequency and expected frequency as it relates to Chi-Square test.
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A Chi-square test is used to test the test of independence between rows and columns, contingency tables. It is a test related to frequencies. The observed frequency is a given statistical frequency known as the actual frequency,  the expected frequency is known as the theoretical frequency is derived from the study by using the sum total of the row and total in the column divided by their corresponding sample size.

A rain gutter is made from sheets of aluminum that are 16 inches wide by turning up the edges to form right angles. Determine th
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Depth of the rain gutter is 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s assume ‘x’ is the depth of the rain gutter

Then the width of the rain gutter can be written as 16 - 2x

Cross sectional area

A = depth x width

Substitute values

A = x*(16 - 2x)

A = 16x – 2x^2

Now according to axis of symmetry for maximum area x = -b/2a

x = -16/2*(-2)

x = 4 inches depth of rain gutter, substitute the value of x to get

Width of rain gutter 16 – 2(4) = 8 inches

Area of the rain gutter for maximum water flow

A = 4 * 8

A = 32 square inch.
