Answer: width = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

The width of a rectangle is the length minus 2 units. It means that the width of the rectangle is (L - 2) units.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The area of the rectangle is 35 units. It means that

L(L - 2) = 35

L² - 2L = 35

L² - 2L - 35 = 0

L² + 5L - 7L - 35 = 0

L(L + 5) - 7(L + 5) = 0

L - 7 = 0 or L + 5 = 0

L = 7 or L = - 5

Since the length cannot be negative, then

L = 7 units

Width = 7 - 2 = 5 units

Ms. Van Tress has 134 students. She sees 38 students before lunch and 96 students after lunch.
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

<em />\%Percent = 28\%<em> ---- Before Lunch</em>

<em />\%Percent = 72\%<em> --- After Lunch</em>

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total = 134

Before\ Lunch = 38

After\ Lunch = 96

Required

Determine the percentage of students seen in both cases.

This percentage is calculated by dividing the number of students seen by the total number of students. Then multiplied by 100%

i.e

\%Percent = \frac{Seen}{Total} * 100\%

- Before Lunch;

\%Percent = \frac{Before\ Lunch}{Total} * 100\%

\%Percent = \frac{38}{134} * 100\%

\%Percent = \frac{3800\%}{134}

<em />\%Percent = 28\%<em> --- approximated</em>

- After Lunch;

\%Percent = \frac{After\ Lunch}{Total} * 100\%

\%Percent = \frac{96}{134} * 100\%

\%Percent = \frac{9600\%}{134}

\%Percent = 72\% <em>--- approximated</em>

The weights of certain machine components are normally distributed with a mean of 8.04 g and a standard deviation of 0.08 g. Fin
NISA [10]

Answer:

The bottom 3 is separated by weight 7.8896 g and the top 3 is separated by weight 8.1904 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mean, \mu=8.04 g

Standard deviation, \sigma=0.08g

We have to find the two weights that separate the top 3% and the bottom 3%.

Let x be the weight of  machine components

P(Xx_2)=0.03

P(X

=0.03

From z- table we get

P(Z1.88)=0.03

Therefore, we get

\frac{x_1-8.04}{0.08}=-1.88

x_1-8.04=-1.88\times 0.08

x_1=-1.88\times 0.08+8.04

x_1=7.8896

\frac{x_2-8.04}{0.08}=1.88

x_2=1.88\times 0.08+8.04

x_2=8.1904

Hence, the bottom 3 is separated by weight 7.8896 g and the top 3 is separated by weight 8.1904 g.

A un paciente se le toma la temperatura a las 7 am, 9 am, 2 pm y a las 4 pm. La primera segunda y cuarta lecturas son de 66 grad
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

94

Step-by-step explanation:

(Lo siento, español no es mi primero lingua, pero intentaré mi mejor :) )

La ecuación is (66 + 90 + x + 94)/4 = 86

Multiple los dos de los lado por 4.

66 + 90 + x + 94 = 344

Hace 66 + 90 + 94, y ponelos a la otro lado con sustracción.

X = 94

94 es la tercera lecture.
