Let width = w
Let length = l
Let area = A
3w+2l=1200
2l=1200-3w
l=1200-3/2
A=w*l
A=w*(1200-3w)/2
A=600w-(3/2)*w^2
If I set A=0 to find the roots, the maximum will be at wmax=-b/2a which is exactly 1/2 way between the roots-(3/2)*w^2+600w=0
-b=-600
2a=-3
-b/2a=-600/-3
-600/-3=200
w=200
And, since 3w+2l=1200
3*200+2l=1200
2l = 600
l = 300
The dimensions of the largest enclosure willbe when width = 200 ft and length = 300 ft
check answer:
3w+2l=1200
3*200+2*300=1200
600+600=1200
1200=1200
and A=w*l
A=200*300
A=60000 ft2
To see if this is max area change  w and l slightly but still make 3w+2l=1200 true, like
w=200.1
l=299.85
A=299.85*200.1
A=59999.985

The Kirkland family is buying a new living room set that costs $1,495.

<h3>Answer:   173.04 dollars</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

The down payment is $400, so that means they must pay back 1495-400 = 1095 dollars. Let L = 1095 be the amount loaned

The annual interest rate is 28% which means r = 0.28; the monthly interest rate is i = r/12 = 0.28/12 = 0.02333 approximately

There are 12 months in a year, so n = 12 is the number of payment periods

----------------------------------------

In summary so far, we have

  • L = 1095
  • i = 0.02333 (which is approximate)
  • n = 12

Those values will be plugged into the monthly payment formula below

M = L*( i*(1+i)^n )/( (1+i)^n - 1 )

M = 1095*( 0.02333*(1+0.02333)^12 )/( (1+0.02333)^12 - 1 )

M = 105.671914631108

M = 105.67

The monthly payment is $105.67

If they have a monthly payment of $105.67, and they pay that for 12 months, then 12*105.67 = 1,268.04 dollars is the amount of money they pay back to the credit card company.

The total amount of interest would be 1,268.04 - 1,095 = 173.04 dollars

Side note: the formula is a complicated ugly mess, so it's understandable to use calculators that already have the formula built in. Many websites offer free calculators that do this.

a) A large hotel in Miami has 900 rooms (all rooms are equivalent). During Christmas, the hotel is usually fully booked. However
Olegator [25]

Answer:

14.69% probability that this happens

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

1000 people were given assurance of a room.

This means that n = 1000

Let us assume that each customer cancels their reservation with a probability of 0.1.

So 0.9 probability that they still keep their booking, which means that p = 0.9

Probability more than 900 still keeps their booking:

n = 1000, p = 0.9

So

\mu = 0.9, s = \sqrt{\frac{0.9*0.1}{1000}} = 0.0095

901/1000 = 0.91

So this is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.91.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{0.91 - 0.9}{0.0095}

Z = 1.05

Z = 1.05 has a pvalue of 0.8531

1 - 0.8531 = 0.1469

14.69% probability that this happens
