We are asked to solve for the width "x" in the given problem. To visualize the problem, see attached drawing.
We have the area of the swimming pool such as:
Area SP = l x w
Area SP = 10 * 16
Area SP = 160 feet2
Area of the swimming pool plus the sidewalk with uniform width:
Area SP + SW = (10 + x) * (16 + x)
160 + 155 = 160 + 10x + 16x + x2
160 -160 + 155 = 26x + x2
155 = 26 x + x2
x2 + 26x -155= 0
Solving for x, we need to use quadratic formula and the answer is 5 feet.

The value of x is <span>5 feet. </span>

The numbers of regular season wins for 10 football teams in a given season are given below. Determine the range, mean, variance,
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Range = 13

Mean = 8.3

Variance = 17.61

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the population dataset :

2, 9, 15, 4, 12, 9, 13, 6, 3, 10

1.) Range : (maximum - minimum)

Maximum = 15 ; minimum = 2

Range = (15 - 2) = 13

2.) population mean (μ) :

μ = ΣX / n

n = sample size

μ = (2 + 9 + 15 + 4 + 12 + 9 + 13 + 6 + 3 + 10) / 10

μ = 83 / 10

μ = 8.3

3.) Population variance (s²)

Σ(x - μ)² / n

=[(2 - 8.3)^2 + (9 - 8.3)^2 + (15 - 8.3)^2 + (4 - 8.3)^2 + (12 - 8.3)^2 + (9 - 8.3)^2 + (13 - 8.3)^2 + (6 - 8.3)^2 + (3 - 8.3)^2 + (10 - 8.3)^2] / 10

s² = 176.1 / 10

s² = 17.61
