Define x :
------------------------------------------------------
Let the width be x.

------------------------------------------------------
Find Area of the walkway :
------------------------------------------------------
Area = 30x + 30x + 20x + 20x + 4x²       
Area = 100x + 4x²

------------------------------------------------------
Find cost of the walkway in term of x:
------------------------------------------------------
1m² = $10
100x + 4x² = 10(4x² + 100x)
(100x + 4x²)m = $(40x² + 1000x)

------------------------------------------------------
Find Width of the walkway :
------------------------------------------------------
The budget is $6000

40x² + 1000x = 6000
40x² + 1000x - 6000 = 0
x² + 25x -150 = 0              //Divide by 40 through
(x - 5)(x + 30) = 0             //Factorise
x = 5 or x = -30 (Rejected, width cannot be negative)

------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The width can be 5m wide.

The AAA system contains 3 independent components in parallel, each with probability of failure 0.4. Find the expected number of
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For each component, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it fails, or it does not. The components are independent. We want to know how many outcomes until r failures. The expected value is given by

E = \frac{r}{p}

In which r is the number of failures we want and p is the probability of a failure.

In this problem, we have that:

r = 1 because we want the first failed unit.

p = 0.4[\tex]So[tex]E = \frac{r}{p} = \frac{1}{0.4} = 2.5

The expected number of systems inspected until the first failed unit is 2.5

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The probability of making a correct random guess is 0.00053%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Clue is a board game in which you must deduce three details surrounding a murder, and in the original game of Clue, the guilty person can be chosen from 66 people, and there are 66 different possible weapons and 99 possible rooms, and at one point in the game, you have narrowed the possibilities down to 44 people, 55 weapons, and 77 rooms, to determine what is the probability of making a random guess of the guilty person, murder weapon, and location from your narrowed-down choices , and the guess being correct, the following calculation must be performed:

(1 / (44x55x77)) x 100 = X

(1 / 186,340) x 100 = X

0.0005366 = X

Therefore, the probability of making a correct random guess is 0.00053%.
