P = 2(L + W)
P = 36
36 = 2(L + W)
36/2 = L + W
18 = L + W....L = 18 - W

A = L * W
A = 65
L = 18 - W

65 = W(18 - W)
65 = 18W - W^2
W^2 - 18W + 65 = 0
(W - 13)(W - 5) = 0

W - 13 = 0  .....L = 18 - 13
W = 13            L = 5
                        

W - 5 = 0         L = 18 - 5
W = 5              L = 13

Not exactly sure which (length or width)...but one is 13 ft and the other is 5 ft

Answer: If the length of rectangle is 13 feet , then the breadth of rectangle would be 18-13=5 feet.

If the length of rectangle is 5 feet, then the breadth of rectangle would be 18-5=13 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Perimeter of rectangular region = 36 feet

Area of rectangular region = 65 sq feet

Let the length of rectangle be 'l'.

Let the breadth of rectangle be 'b'.

As we know the formula for perimeter of rectangle :

Perimeter=2(l+b)\\\\36=2(l+b)\\\\18=l+b\\\\l=18-b

And area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

so, it becomes

65=b(18-b)\\\\65=18b-b^2\\\\b^2-18b+65=0\\\\b^2-13b-5b+65=0\\\\b(b-13)-5(b-13)=0\\\\(b-13)(b-5)=0\\\\b=13,5

Hence, If the length of rectangle is 13 feet , then the breadth of rectangle would be 18-13=5 feet.

If the length of rectangle is 5 feet, then the breadth of rectangle would be 18-5=13 feet.

Give a 98% confidence interval for one population mean, given asample of 28 data points with sample mean 30.0 and sample standar
klio [65]

We have a sample of 28 data points. The sample mean is 30.0 and the sample standard deviation is 2.40. The confidence level required is 98%. Then, we calculate α by:

\begin{gathered} 1-\alpha=0.98 \\ \alpha=0.02 \end{gathered}

The confidence interval for the population mean, given the sample mean μ and the sample standard deviation σ, can be calculated as:

CI(\mu)=\lbrack x-Z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt[]{n}},x+Z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt[]{n}}\rbrack

Where n is the sample size, and Z is the z-score for 1 - α/2. Using the known values:

CI(\mu)=\lbrack30.0-Z_{0.99}\cdot\frac{2.40}{\sqrt[]{28}},30.0+Z_{0.99}\cdot\frac{2.40}{\sqrt[]{28}}\rbrack

Where (from tables):

Z_{0.99}=2.33

Finally, the interval at 98% confidence level is:

CI(\mu)=\lbrack28.94,31.06\rbrack
