Step-by-step explanation:

$area \: of \: rectangle \: = 60 \: {yards}^{2} \\ \therefore \: (w + 4) \times \: w = 60\\ \\ \therefore \: {w}^{2} + 4w -60 = 0 \\ \\ \therefore \: {w}^{2} + 10w - 6w -60 = 0 \\ \\ \therefore \: w({w} + 10) - 6(w + 10)= 0 \\ \\ \therefore \: ({w} + 10) (w- 6)= 0 \\ \therefore \: {w} + 10 = 0 \: or \: w- 6 = 0 \\ \therefore \: {w} = - 10 \: or \: w = 6 \\ \because \: sides \: of \: rectangle \: cant \: be \: negative \\ \therefore \: w \neq \: - 10 \\ \\ \therefore \: w = 6 \\ \\ \therefore \: w + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10 \\ \\ length \: of \: rectangle \: = 10 \: yards.$

A pack of cinnamon-scented pencils sells for $5.00. What is the sales tax rate if the total cost of the pencils is $5.40?

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The sales tax rate is 5%

Given:

Sales price = 5.00

Total amount paid = 5.25

Sales tax value = Total amount paid - sales price

= $5.25 - $5.00

Sales tax value = $0.25

Sales tax rate = Sales tax / Sales price

= 0.25/5

Sales tax rate = 0.05 or 5%

The sum of all but one interior angle of a heptagon is 776Â°. What is the measure of the final interior angle? 42Âº 56Âº 124Âº 3

weqwewe [10]

The measure of the seventh interior angle of the heptagon is 124°. (Correct choice: C)

<h3>What is the measure of the missing interior angle in a heptagon?</h3>

Heptagons are polygons with seven sides, seven vertices, seven interior angles and seven central angles. Herein we know the value of the sum of six interior angles and we need to know the measure of the seventh interior angle. We can determine the measure of the seven interior angles by using the following expression:

θ = (n - 2) · 180°, where n is the number of sides of the polygon. (1)

If we know that n = 7, then sum of the internal angles in the heptagon is:

θ = (7 - 2) · 180°

θ = 900°

And the measure of the final interior angle is found by subtraction:

θ₇ = 900° - 776°

θ₇ = 124°

The measure of the seventh interior angle of the heptagon is 124°. (Correct choice: C)

A student was asked to find a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of students who take notes using data from a random sam

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

After use the formula we got the following result for the 90% confidence interval (0.13 <p<0.34)

And the conclusion for this case would be:

e. With 90% confidence, the proportion of all students who take notes is between 0.13 and 0.34.

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".

Description in words of the parameter p

$p$ represent the real population proportion of students who take notes

$\hat p$ represent the estimated proportion of students who take notes

n is the sample size required

$z_{\alpha/2}$ represent the critical value for the margin of error

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Numerical estimate for p

In order to estimate a proportion we use this formula:

$\hat p =\frac{X}{n}$ where X represent the number of people with a characteristic and n the total sample size selected.

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for a proportion is given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 90% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$ and $\alpha/2=0.05$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$

After use the formula we got the following result for the 90% confidence interval (0.13 <p<0.34)

And the conclusion for this case would be:

e. With 90% confidence, the proportion of all students who take notes is between 0.13 and 0.34.
