Answer:

B. P=l+w

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l represent length of rectangle and w represent width of rectangle.

We have been given four formulas for the perimeter of rectangle. We are asked to choose the formula that displays a common student error for finding the perimeter.

We know that perimeter of a polygon is sum of all sides of the polygon. We also know that rectangle is polygon having two sets of equal sides.

The perimeter, P, of rectangle will be sum of its all sides that is:

P=l+w+l+w

Combine like terms:

P=2l+2w

Factor out 2:

P=2(l+w)

Upon looking at our given choices, we can see that formula represented by option B displays a common student error for finding the perimeter.

A company establishes a fund of 120 from which it wants to pay an amount,C, to any of its 20 employees who achieve a high-perfor
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

C=120/2=60

Step by step Explanation'

To solve this problem, we will need to apply trial-and-error calculation with the binomial distribution, even though it appears like Central Limit Theorem but it's not.

For us to know the value of C , we will look for a minimum integer such that having 'n' number of high performance level of employee has the probability below 0.01.

Determine the maximum value of C, then the maximum value that C can have is 120/n

Let us represent X as the number of employees with high performance with a binomial distribution of

P =0.02( since the percentage of chance of achieving a high performance level is 2%)

n = 20 ( number of employees who achieve a high performance level)

The probability of X= 0 can be calculated

P( X= 0) = 0.98^n

P(X=0)=0.98^20

P(X=0)=0.668

P(X=1)=0.02*20*0.98^19

P(X=1)=0.272

P(X=2)=0.02^2*20*0.98^18

P(X=2)=0.053

Summation of P( X= 0)+ P( X= 1)+P( X= 2) will give us the value of 0.993 which is greater than 0.99( 1% that the fund will be inadequate to cover all payments for high performance.)

BUT the summation of P( X= 0)+ P( X= 1) will give the value of 0.94 which doesn't exceed the 0.99 value,

Therefore, the minimum value of integer in such a way that P(X >2) is less than 0.01 have n= 2

then the maximum value that C can have is 120/n

C=120/2=60

What point is on the graph of every direct variation equation
Alexeev081 [22]
Answer: The point (0,0)
This point is also known as the origin

The reason why is because every direct variation equation is of the form y = k*x
where k is some fixed number

If we plugged in x = 0 it leads to y = k*x = k*0 = 0. So (x,y) = (0,0)
