Answer:

The correct answer is option B.  3 ft  by 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Points to remember</u>

Area of rectangle = length * breadth

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)

It is given that, The area of a rectangular flower bed is 24 square feet. The perimeter of the same flower bed is 22 feet

<u>To find the correct option</u>

<u>1). Check option A</u>

Area = 2 * 12 = 24

Perimeter = 2( 2 + 12 ) = 28

False

<u>2) Check option B</u>

Area = 3 * 8 = 24

Perimeter = 2(3  + 8 ) = 22

True

<u>3). Check option C</u>

Area = 3 * 6 = 18

Perimeter = 2( 3 + 6 ) = 18

False

<u>4). Check option D</u>

Area = 4 * 6 = 24

Perimeter = 2( 4 +6 ) = 20

False

The correct answer is option B.  3 ft  by 8 ft

ANSWER

B. 3 ft by 8 ft

EXPLANATION

The area is given as 24 square feet.

This implies that,

l \times w = 24

The perimeter of the rectangular field is given as 22 feet.

This implies that,

2(l + w) = 22

Or

l + w = 11

We make w the subject in this last equation and put it inside the first equation.

w = 11 - l

When we substitute into the first equation we get;

l(11 - l) = 24

11l -  {l}^{2}  = 24

This implies that,

{l}^{2}  - 11l + 24 = 0

(l - 3)(l - 8) = 24

l = 3 \: or \: 8

When l=3, w=24

Therefore the dimension is 3 ft by 8 ft

You decided to throw a fair die four times.
Finger [1]

Answer:

If all you care about is whether you roll 2 or not, you get a Binomial distribution with an individual success probability 1/6. The probability of rolling 2 at least two times, is the same as the probability of not rolling 2 at zero or one time.

the answer is, 1 - bin(k=0, n=4, r=1/6) - bin(k=1, n=4, r=1/6). This evaluates to about 13%, just like your result (you just computed all three outcomes satisfying the proposition rather than the two that didn’t).

Can you please give the answer for this problem? :<br> 18+11v=w-13t for t
Kay [80]
18+11v=w-13t
18+11-w=-13t
13t=w-11v-18
t=1/13w - 11/13v - 1 5/13

Hope this helps :)

An analyst from an energy research institute in California wishes to precisely estimate a 99% confidence interval of the average
Lena [83]

Answer:

190

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Confidence level = 99%

Therefore,

α = 1% = 0.01

[ from standard normal table ]

z-value for z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}= z_{\frac{0.01}{2}}= = 2.58

Margin of error, E = $0.06

Standard deviation, σ = $0.32

Now,

n = (\frac{z_{0.005}\sigma}{E})^2

Here,

n is the sample size (or the minimum number of gas stations  )

on substituting the respective values, we get

= (\frac{z_{0.005}\sigma}{E})^2

= (\frac{2.58\times0.32}{0.06})^2

= 13.76²

= 189.3376 ≈ 190

Hence,

minimum number of gas stations that she should include in her sample is 190
