The area of the trench is 5 $\frac{1}{2}$ m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Tanya has a garden with a trench around it

The garden is a rectangle with length 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ m and width 2 m
The trench and garden together with length 3 $\frac{1}{2}$ m and width 3 m

We need to find the area of the trench

The area of the trench is the difference between the area of the garden with the trench and the area of the garden

The formula of the area of a rectangle is A = length × width

∵ The garden is a rectangle with length 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ m and width 2 m

∴ Length = 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ m

∴ Width = 2 m

Find the area of the garden

∴ A = 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ × 2 = 5 m²

∵ The trench and garden together with length 3 $\frac{1}{2}$ m and width 3 m

∴ Length = 3 $\frac{1}{2}$ m

∴ Width = 3 m

Find the area of the garden with the trench

∴ A = 3 $\frac{1}{2}$ × 3 = 10

The area of the trench = area of the garden with the trench - area of the garden

∴ The area of the trench = 10 $\frac{1}{2}$ - 5 = 5

The area of the trench is 5 $\frac{1}{2}$ m²

Answer:

14.69% probability that this happens

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$
