Chris wants to make an enclosed rectangular area for a mulch pile. She wants to make the enclosure in such a way as to use a cor

ner of her back yard. She also wants it to be twice as long as it is wide. Since the yard is already fenced, she simply needs to construct two sides of the mulch pile enclosure. She has only 15 feet of material available. Find the dimensions of the enclosure that will produce the maximum area

The enclosure having the maximum area would be square. Since Chris wants the aspect ratio to be 2:1, she will use 2/3 of the fence (10 ft) for the long side and 1/3 of the fence (5 ft) for the short side.

The enclosure having the maximum area meeting Chris's requirement is 10 ft × 5 ft.

On an exam, Mafuyu scored in the 20th percentile. If there were 50 students in the class, how many students scored lower than he
Reptile [31]

Using the percentile concept, it is found that 10 students scored lower than he did.

<h3>What is the meaning of the percentile of a measure?</h3>

When a measure is in the xth percentile of a data-set, it is greater than x% of the measures and lesser than (100 - x)%.

In this problem, he scored on the 20th percentile, that is, higher than 20% of the 50 students. Then:

0.2 x 50 = 10.

10 students scored lower than he did.

A case in riverhead, new york, nine different crime victims listened to voice recordings of five different men. all nine victims
Alexus [3.1K]

the complete question in the attached figure

1) Find the probability that all nine victims would select the same person. You should enter your answer as a decimal, not as a percent. Do not round, as your answer should be a terminating decimal.

P=(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)=0.000000512

2) what is the probability that the first victim picks SOMEONE? ANYONE? 

P=(1/5)=0.20  ---------------- > 20%

3) Now let’s look at victim #2. What is the probability that they pick the same person as victim #1?

P=(1/5)*(1/5)=0.04 --------------> 4%

4) Now let’s look at victim #3. What is the probability that they pick the same person as victim #1?

P=(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)=0.008 --------------> 0.8%

5) Now let's look at victim #9. What is the probability that they pick the same person as victim #1? 

P=(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)=0.000000512

6) Once you find all those probabilities, what rule would apply?

the probability is given by (1/5)^n

n=number of victims that pick the same person---------> in this problem = 9

P=(1/5)^9= 0.000000512
