Answer:

13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Define x :

--------------------------------------------

Let the width be x.

Width = x

Length = 2x - 3

--------------------------------------------

Perimeter Formula :

--------------------------------------------

Perimeter = 2 (Length + Width)

 --------------------------------------------

FInd Width :

--------------------------------------------

42 = 2 (x + 2x - 3) 

42 = 2(3x - 3)

42 = 6x - 6

48 = 6x 

6x = 48

x = 8 feet

--------------------------------------------

Find Length :

--------------------------------------------

Length = 2x - 3 = 2(8) - 3 = 13 feet

--------------------------------------------

Answer: The length is 13 feet.

A small business owner estimates his mean daily profit as $970 with a standard deviation of $129. His shop is open 102 days a ye
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The probability that the shopkeeper's annual profit will not exceed $100,000 is 0.2090.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean <em>μ</em> and standard deviation <em>σ</em> and we select appropriately huge random samples (<em>n</em> ≥ 30) from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sum of values of <em>X</em>, i.e ∑<em>X</em>, will be approximately normally distributed.  

Then, the mean of the distribution of the sum of values of X is given by,  

 \mu_{x}=n\mu

And the standard deviation of the distribution of the sum of values of X is given by,  

 \sigma_{x}=\sqrt{n}\sigma

The information provided is:

<em>μ</em> = $970

<em>σ</em> = $129

<em>n</em> = 102

Since the sample size is quite large, i.e. <em>n</em> = 102 > 30, the Central Limit Theorem can be used to approximate the distribution of the shopkeeper's annual profit.

Then,

\sum X\sim N(\mu_{x}=98940,\ \sigma_{x}=1302.84)

Compute the probability that the shopkeeper's annual profit will not exceed $100,000 as follows:

P (\sum X \leq  100,000) =P(\frac{\sum X-\mu_{x}}{\sigma_{x}}

                              =P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that the shopkeeper's annual profit will not exceed $100,000 is 0.2090.
