------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ratio
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Width : Length
    2    :   5 

Let x be the scale factor

Width : Length
    2x    :   5x

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form equation and solve x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)
70 = 2(5x + 2x)
70 = 2(7x)
70 = 14x
14x = 70
x = 5

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Length and Width
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Length = 5x 
Length = 5(5) 
Length = 25

Width = 2x
Width = 2(5)
Width = 10

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Length = 25 cm, Width = 10 cm

1. A sample consists of 75 TV sets purchased several years ago. The replacement times of those TV sets have a mean of 8.2 years.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

8.2+/-0.25

= ( 7.95, 8.45) years

the 95% confidence interval (a,b) = (7.95, 8.45) years

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = 8.2 years

Standard deviation r = 1.1 years

Number of samples n = 75

Confidence interval = 95%

z value(at 95% confidence) = 1.96

Substituting the values we have;

8.2+/-1.96(1.1/√75)

8.2+/-1.96(0.127017059221)

8.2+/-0.248953436074

8.2+/-0.25

= ( 7.95, 8.45)

Therefore the 95% confidence interval (a,b) = (7.95, 8.45) years

Solve the equation using square roots. x2 + 10 = 9
Oksana_A [137]
x^2 + 10 = 9

Subtract 10 from both sides.

x^2 = -1

Since the square of a number, x, equals a negative number, -1, the answer cannot be a real number because the square of a real number is always non-negative. Therefore, there is no real number solution to this equation.

Answer: <span>B. no real number solutions</span>

Find the value of x in simplest radical form
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

h^2=x^2+y^2, here x and y are equal so we can say

h^2=2x^2, we see that h=2(2^(1/2)) so

2x^2=8

x^2=4

x=2

Hitman42 [59]
There are 37 jelly beans so p for the first one is 27/37. That leaves 36 in the bag. So p for the second jelly bean is 10/36=5/18.
The combine probability is 27/37×5/18=3/37×5/2=15/74.
