Answer:

length = 11 ft, width = 6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the width, l be the length and p the perimeter. You can write down the following equations:

1. w = l - 5

2. p = 2*(w + l)

Now you have two equations with two unknown.

Plugging eq.1 in eq.2:

p = 2*(l-5 + l)

p = 2*(2*l - 5)

p = 4*l - 10

Remember p = 34

34 = 4*l - 10

4*l = 44

l = 11

Using eq.1 to solve for w:

w = 11 - 5

w = 6

Answer:

The equation is C, and the correct answer is 6 (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

We first look for the correct equation. If Matt charges 9 dollars per hour, and earned a total of 99, then we known that 9*the number of hours = 99. Moving on, we know that he babysat Friday night for 5 hours, but we don't know the number on Saturday. BUT we do know that 5+saturday hours = total number of hours. Putting this into a formula, we get 9(5+x (where x = #of hours worked on saturday) = 99(total number)

Our final equation is 9(5+x)=99.

Solving this by dividing both sides by 9, we get 5+x=11. Subtracting 5 from both sides gives us x = 6.

In a survey of 1005 adults, a polling agency asked, "When you retire, do you think you will have enough money to live comfort

Sphinxa [80]

Answer: (0.504, 0.556)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n= 1005

Number of adults stated that they were worried about having enough money to live comfortably in retirement = 531

Then the proportion of adults stated that they were worried about having enough money to live comfortably in retirement : $p=\dfrac{531}{1005}\approx0.53$

Significance level : $\alpha: 1-0.90=0.1$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=1.645$

The confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

$p\pm\ z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\\\=0.53\pm(1.645)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.53(1-0.53)}{1005}}\\\\\approx0.53\pm0.026\\\\=(0.504,\ 0.556)$

Hence, the 90% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who are worried about having enough money to live comfortably in retirement = (0.504, 0.556)
