The probability of drawing a goldfish on the first draw is 16 / ( 16 + 24 ), or 16/40, or 2/5. Supposing that the first fish drawn is actually a goldfish, then there are 15 goldfish left among 39 fish, and the probability of drawing a goldfish on the 2nd draw is 15/39, or 5/13. The (joint) probability of drawing 2 goldfish on the 1st 2 draws, without replacement, is (5/13)(2/5) = 2/13.

Leni [432]
So for this I would set up a ratio. 1/10=x/380 then you cross multiply so 1x380=10x. Then solve the equation so 380/10=x and you get 38in. Hope my explanation helped!

In a sample of 42 water specimens taken from a construction site, 26 contained detectable levels of lead. Construct 90% confiden
hram777 [196]

Answer:

(0.4958, 0.7422)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the true proportion of water specimens that contain detectable levels of lead. The point estimate for p is \hat{p}=26/42=0.6190. The estimated standard deviation is given by \sqrt{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})/n}=\sqrt{(0.6190)(1-0.6190)/42}=0.0749. Because we have a large sample, the 90% confidence interval for p is given by 0.6190\pm z_{0.05}0.0749 where z_{0.05}=1.6448 is the value that satisfies that above this and under the standard normal density there is an area of 0.05. So, the confidence interval is 0.6190\pm (1.6448)(0.0749), i.e., (0.4958, 0.7422).

A) The area of a rectangle is A = lw, where l=length of the rectangle and w=width of the rectangle. You know the length of the gift shop, l = 20x + 24. You know the width, w = 36x - 20. Plug those expressions into the equation for area of a rectangle and multiply/foil:
A = lw\\
A = (20x + 24)(36x - 20)\\
A = (20x)(36x) + (20x)(-20) +  (24)(36x) + (24)(-20)\\
A = 720x^{2} - 400x + 864x - 480\\
A = 720x^{2} + 464x - 480

The expression for the area of the gift shop is 720x^{2} + 464x - 480.

B) The equation for the perimeter of the gift shop is P = 2(l+w), where l = length and w = width. Plug your values for l and w into this equation:
P = 2(l+w)\\
P = 2(20x + 24 + 36x - 20)\\
P = 2(56x + 4) = 2(56x) + 2(4)\\
P = 112x + 8

The expression for the perimeter of the gift shop is 112x + 8

C) Since you know the perimeter is going to be 176 ft, that means P = 176. Plug that into the equation you found in part B, P = 112x + 8, and solve for x.
P = 112x + 8\\
176 = 112x + 8\\
112x =  168
x = 1.5

Once you solve for x, you can plug x into your equations for width and length to find the dimensions. x = 1.5, so:
1) L<span>ength = 20x+24 feet 
</span>Length = 20(1.5) + 24 feet = 54 feet
2) Width = <span>36x-20 feet
Width = 36(1.5)-20 feet = 34 feet

Your dimensions are 54 feet (length) by 34 feet (width).
