Answer:

The length and width of the plot that will maximize the area of the rectangular plot are 54 ft and 27 ft respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The length of fencing of the rectangular plot is = 108 ft.

Let the longer side of the rectangular plot be x which is also the side along the river side and the width of the rectangular plot be y.

Since the fence along the river does not need.

So the total perimeter of the rectangle is =2(x+y) -x

                                                                    =2x+2y-y

                                                                    =x+2y

So,

x+2y =108

⇒x=108 -2y

Then the area of the rectangle plot is A = xy

A=xy

⇒A= (108-2y)y

⇒ A = 108y-2y²

A = 108y-2y²

Differentiating with respect to x

A'= 108 -4y

Again differentiating with respect to x

A''= -4

For maximum or minimum, A'=0

108 -4y=0

⇒4y=108

\Rightarrow y=\frac{108}{4}

⇒y=27.

A''|_{y=27}=-4

Since at y= 27, A''<0

So, at y=27 ft , the area of the rectangular plot maximum.

Then x= (108-2.27)

          =54 ft.

The length and width of the plot that will maximize the area of the rectangular plot are 54 ft and 27 ft respectively.

The weights of red delicious apples are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 9 Ounces and a standard deviation of 0
Simora [160]

Answer:

The mean of W is 55 ounces.

The standard deviation of W is 4.33 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X: weight of a red delicious apple, and B: the weight of the box and packing material.

The distribution that will represent W: the total weight of the packaged 5 randomly selected apples will be also normally distributed.

Applying the property of the mean: E(aX)=aE(X), the mean of W will be:

\mu_W=E(W)=E(5X+B)=5E(X)+E(B)=5*9+10=45+10=55

Applying the property of the variance: V(aX+b)=a^2V(X), the variance of W will be:

\sigma^2_W=V(W)=V(5X+B)=5^2V(X)+V(B)=25*0.75+0=18.75

The mean standard deviation of W will be the squared root of V(W):

\sigma_W=\sqrt{V(W)}=\sqrt{18.75}=4.33

The mean of W is 55 ounces.

The standard deviation of W is 4.33 ounces.

How can you use the measures of center and the range to compare two populations?
DochEvi [55]

The measure of center and range to be used to compare the population is the median and the inter quartile range.

<u>Explanation:</u>

You utilize the median and the interquartile range (IQR) to portray skewed distributions of information. To look at two populaces, utilize the mean and the MAD when the two populations are symmetric. Utilize the middle and the IQR when possibly one or the two circulations are slanted.

In statistics and probability theory, the median is the worth isolating the higher half from the lower half of an information test, a populace or a likelihood circulation. For an informational collection, it might be thought of as the "center" esteem.
