Answer:

Semicircle of radius of 1.6803 meters

Rectangle of dimensions 3.3606m x 1.6803m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the radius of the semicircle on the top=r  

Let the height of the rectangle =h  

Since the semicircle is on top of the window, the width of the rectangular portion =Diameter of the Semicircle =2r

The Perimeter of the Window

=Length of the three sides on the rectangular portion + circumference of the semicircle

=h+h+2r+\pi r=2h+2r+\pi r=12

The area of the window is what we want to maximize.

Area of the Window=Area of Rectangle+Area of Semicircle

=2hr+\frac{\pi r^2}{2}

We are trying to Maximize A subject to 2h+2r+\pi r=12

2h+2r+\pi r=12\\h=6-r-\frac{\pi r}{2}

The first and second derivatives are,

Area, A(r)=2r(6-r-\frac{\pi r}{2})+\frac{\pi r^2}{2}}=12r-2r^2-\frac{\pi r^2}{2}

Taking the first and second derivatives

A'\left( r \right) = 12 - r\left( {4 + \pi } \right)\\A''\left( r \right) =  - 4 - \pi

From the two derivatives above, we see that the only critical point  of r

A'\left( r \right) = 12 - r\left( {4 + \pi } \right)=0

r = \frac{{12}}{{4 + \pi }} = 1.6803

Since the second derivative is a negative constant, the maximum area must occur at this point.

h=6-1.6803-\frac{\pi X1.6803}{2}=1.6803

So, for the maximum area the semicircle on top must have a radius of 1.6803 meters and the rectangle must have the dimensions 3.3606m x 1.6803m ( Recall, The other dimension of the window = 2r)

Recall the chapter example which described the fact that the mean IQ in large, diverse populations is 100 and the standard devia
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The margin of error for the 99% confidence level for this sample is ±2.23.

None of the given figures is close to the answer:

E. None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

margin of error (ME) around the mean can be calculated using the formula

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the corresponding statistic of the 99% confidence level (2.576)
  • s is the population IQ standard deviation (15)
  • N is the sample size (300)

Using these numbers we get:

ME=\frac{2.576*15}{\sqrt{300} }  ≈ 2.23

Can someone please help me
Daniel [21]

Answer:

(-7.5, 3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

midpoint \:  = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} \:  , \:  \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )

= ( \frac{ ( - 5) + ( - 10)}{2} , \frac{(5) + (2)}{2} )

= ( \frac{ - 15}{2} , \frac{7}{2} )

= ( - 7.5,3.5)
