Given:
plot of land doubles in size.
original plot area 200 by 300 meters

Area = 200m * 300m
A = 60,000 m²  original plot area

60,000m
² x 2 = 120,000 m²

(200m + x)(300m + x) = 120,000 m²

60,000m² + 200m*x + 300m * x + x² = 120,000 m²

x² + 500x + 60,000 = 120,000
x² + 500x + 60,000 - 120,000 = 0
x² + 500x - 60,000 = 0

x = -b <u>+</u> (√b² - 4ac)/2a 

a = 1 ; b = 500 ; c = -60,000

x = -500 + (√500² - 4(1)(-60,000)) / 2(1)
x = (-500 + (√250,000 + 240,000)) / 2 
x = (-500 + 700)/ 2
x = 200 / 2
x = 100 meters

(200 + x)(300 + x) = 120,000
(200 + 100)(300 + 100) = 120,000
300 * 400 = 120,000
120,000 = 120,000

Suppose that only 65% of all drivers in a certain state wear a seat belt. a random sample of 80 drivers is selected. what is the
jonny [76]

Answer:

Pr(X >42) = Pr( Z > -2.344)

                = Pr( Z< 2.344) = 0.9905

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario presented can be modeled by a binomial model;

The probability of success is, p = 0.65

There are n = 80 independent trials

Let X denote the number of drivers that wear a seat belt, then we are to find the probability that X is greater than 42;

Pr(X > 42)

In this case we can use the normal approximation to the binomial model;

mu = n*p = 80(0.65) = 52

sigma^2 = n*p*(1-p) = 18.2

Pr(X >42) = Pr( Z > -2.344)

                = Pr( Z< 2.344) = 0.9905
