A rectangular field is enclosed by 360 feet of fencing. What is the length, in feet, of the field if it’s length is 6 feet more

than it’s width?

Answer:

The Field's length is 93ft

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2L+2w

360=2(w+6)+2w

360=2w+12+2w

360=4w+12

348=4w

348/4=w

87=w

L=w+6

L=87+6

L=93

What is the radius of 20?<br><br> (20 is the diameter)

Goshia [24]

Well if d= 20
d=2r

so 20 = 2r

r=10

is that what you wanted, or does this have to do with a circle

a ferry is traveling at a constant speed back to the dock, as shown in the graph. which function represents the relationship bet

horsena [70]

Answer: y = -35x + 105

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph represents a function that is between hours and miles and to determine the equation which belong to this graph, we need to find the slope first by using two points from the graph which are (0, 105) and (3, 0).

The definition of slope is

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

= (0-105)/3-0

= -105/3

= -35

The slope is -35 and remember that the slope is the coefficient of the variable x. Therefore, the answer is:

y = -35x + 105

A shop sells a particular of video recorder. Assuming that the weekly demand for the video recorder is a Poisson variable with t

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

a) 0.5768 = 57.68% probability that the shop sells at least 3 in a week.

b) 0.988 = 98.8% probability that the shop sells at most 7 in a week.

c) 0.0104 = 1.04% probability that the shop sells more than 20 in a month.

Step-by-step explanation:

For questions a and b, the Poisson distribution is used, while for question c, the normal approximation is used.

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of successes

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\lambda$ is the mean in the given interval.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The Poisson distribution can be approximated to the normal with $\mu = \lambda, \sigma = \sqrt{\lambda}$ , if $\lambda>10$ .

Poisson variable with the mean 3

This means that $\lambda= 3$ .

(a) At least 3 in a week.

This is $P(X \geq 3)$ . So

$P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)$

In which:

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

Then

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240$

So

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 = 0.4232$

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 1 - 0.4232 = 0.5768$

0.5768 = 57.68% probability that the shop sells at least 3 in a week.

(b) At most 7 in a week.

This is:

$P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)$

In which

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.2240$

$P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.1680$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.1008$

$P(X = 6) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{6}}{(6)!} = 0.0504$

$P(X = 7) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{7}}{(7)!} = 0.0216$

Then

$P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 + 0.2240 + 0.1680 + 0.1008 + 0.0504 + 0.0216 = 0.988$

0.988 = 98.8% probability that the shop sells at most 7 in a week.

(c) More than 20 in a month (4 weeks).

4 weeks, so:

$\mu = \lambda = 4(3) = 12$

$\sigma = \sqrt{\lambda} = \sqrt{12}$

The probability, using continuity correction, is P(X > 20 + 0.5) = P(X > 20.5), which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 20.5.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{20 - 12}{\sqrt{12}}$

$Z = 2.31$

$Z = 2.31$ has a p-value of 0.9896.

1 - 0.9896 = 0.0104

0.0104 = 1.04% probability that the shop sells more than 20 in a month.
