Let x represent the length of the shortest side. Then the longest side is

... 2x -7 . . . . . . 7 ft shorter than twice the shortest side

and the 3rd side is

... x +2 . . . . . . 2 ft longer than the shortest side.

The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths,

... x + (2x -7) + (x +2) = 59 . . . . . the given perimeter length

... 4x -5 = 59 . . . . collect terms

... 4x = 64 . . . . . . add 5

... x = 16 . . . . . . . . divide by 4

Then the other sides are

... 2×16 - 7 = 25 . . . . . longest side

... 16 +2 = 18 . . . . . . . . third side

The side lengths are 16 ft, 18 ft, and 25 ft.

A savings bank invests $58,800 in municipal bonds and earns 12% per year on the investment. How much money is earned per year?
seraphim [82]
To find the answer we simply have to find 12% of 58,800. So to do that, we can multiply it by .12

58,800 • .12 = 7,056

So $7,056 is earned per year

ruslelena [56]

Answer: provided in the explanation segment

Step-by-step explanation:

(a). from the question, we can see that since that б is known, we can use standard normal, z.

we are asked to find an 80% confidence interval for the average weights of Allen's hummingbirds in the study region. What is the margin of error?

⇒ 80% confidence interval for the average weight of Allen's hummingbirds is given thus;

x ± z * б / √m

which is

3.15 ± 1.28 * 0.32/√10

= 3.15 ± 0.1295 = 3.0205 or 3.2795

(b). normal distribution of weight (c) б is known

(c). option (a) and (e) are correct

(d).  from the question, let sample size be given as S

this gives';

1.28 * 0.32/√S = 0.15

√S = (1.28 * 0.32) / 0.15 = 2.73

S = 7.4529

If 20 ounces is $7, and ,$17 = x, what is x
jasenka [17]
You can solve this by cross multiplying. 20 ounces/$7=x ounces/$17. multiple $17 by 20 ounces and $7 by x ounces. (17x20=7x). 17x20=340, so 340=7x. Divide both sides by 7, and you will get x equals about 48.6.
