Maximizing the Area of a rectangle. Drag the locators to vary the width of the rectangle and see the effect on its area. For a rectangle with a perimeter of 40, the height is always 20 minus the width. This allows you to reduce the formula for the area. I hope this helps you

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

$19.1-3.355\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}=17.42$

$19.1+3.355\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}=20.78$

And the best option would be:

C. [17.42,20.78]

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=19.1$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=1.5 represent the sample standard deviation

n=9 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=9-1=8$

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,8)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$19.1-3.355\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}=17.42$

$19.1+3.355\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}=20.78$

And the best option would be:

C. [17.42,20.78]

pentagon [3]

Answer:

9,240 ways possible in which this can be accomplished if there are 22 members on the board of directors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of available members in the board = 22

The number of posts chosen are a president, a secretary, and a treasurer.

For the Post of President:

The number of available options to choose a president = 22 options

For the Post of Secretary:

As we can not repeat the members because one person CANNOT hold two positions simultaneously.

The number of available options to choose a secretary = 21 options

For the Post of Treasurer:

As we can not repeat the members because two person CANNOT hold three positions simultaneously.

The number of available options to choose a treasure = 20 options

Now, the possible ways can this whole election be accomplished is the product of all possible options

= 22 option x 21 option x 20 option

= 9,240 ways

Hence, there are 9,240 ways possible in which this can be accomplished if there are 22 members on the board of directors.
