Answer:

Width = 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us pose the width as w, and the length as l. If the length is 2 units greater than the width, consider the following;

$l = 2 + w,\\\\w = width,\\l = length$

The area of this rectangle can be determined through length * width / l * w, and is given to be 24 square units. We can say l = 2 + w instead, solving for the width ( w );

$( 2 + w ) * w = 24,\\2w+w^2=24,\\\left(w-4\right)\left(w+6\right)=0,\\w = 4, w = - 6\\\\Solution - width = 4 units$

As the width couldn't be a negative value, we had to take the positive of 4 and - 6, which was 4 units.

Answer:

4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Length would be 6 units and width would be 4 units

6*4 = 24 proving my claim to be true

It's just dividing out the factoring to their simplest form.
The bold numbers are the answers that go in the circles.

1. 16 < 8 and 2
8 < 2 and 4
4 < 2 and 2

2. 42 < 14 and 3
14 < 7 and 2

3. 40 < 2 and 20
20 < 10 and 2
10 < 2 and 5

4. I'm not able to see the rest of the factoring tree

Assume that foot lengths of women are normally distributed with a mean of 9.6 in and a standard deviation of 0.5 in.a. Find the

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

a) 78.81% probability that a randomly selected woman has a foot length less than 10.0 in.

b) 78.74% probability that a randomly selected woman has a foot length between 8.0 in and 10.0 in.

c) 2.28% probability that 25 women have foot lengths with a mean greater than 9.8 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using 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.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 9.6, \sigma = 0.5$ .
