A rectangular playground is to be fenced off and divided into two parts by a fence parallel to one side of the playground. 240 f
1 answer:
Let's look at the picture, let's imagine that the gray line is the perimeter fence and that the red OR the blue is the one dividing it. We can see that the blue line is longer than the red one, so it will be advantageous, to have a bigger area, to have the dividing fence the smallest possible.
Let's say then that the width (W) is bigger (or equal) to the length (L), so we have:
The area is W*L, so we have
this function is a parabola facing down, its zeros are 0 and 80, therefore its maximum is when L=40
hence, L=40 and W=(240-120)/2=60
It will be a rectangle, measuring 60x40 and the divinding fence will be 40

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Your study variable is X: "number of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use, in a sample of 390"
X~Bi (n;ρ)
ρ: population proportion of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use. ρ = 0.95
n= 390
x= 303
sample proportion ^ρ: x/n = 303/390 = 0.776 ≅ 0.78
Applying the Central Limit Theorem you approximate the distribution of the sample proportion to normal to obtain the statistic to use.
You are asked to estimate the population proportion of televisions that didn't require repairs with a confidence interval, the formula is:
^ρ±* √[(^ρ(1-^ρ))/n]
=
= 2.58
0.78±2.58* √[(0.78(1-0.78))/390]
0.0541
[0.726;0.834]
With a confidence level of 99% you'd expect that the interval [0.726;0.834] contains the true value of the proportion of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use.
I hope it helps!
