Answer:

  42 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle is the product of its length and width:

  area = 6(x -8)

The area of the triangle is half the product of its base and height:

  area = (1/2)(x-3)·7

These two areas are equal, so we have ...

  6(x -8) = (1/2)(x -3)(7)

  6x -48 = 3.5x -10.5 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  2.5x = 37.5 . . . . . . . . . . . add 48 -3.5x

  x = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2.5

The area of the rectangle is ...

  area = 6(15 -8) = 42 . . . . square units.

Among a sample of 55 male soldiers the average shower time was found to be 2.95 minutes and the population standard deviation is
Oksanka [162]

Answer: -3.0593

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistic for the difference between two population mean (when population standard deviations \sigma_1\ \&\ \sigma_2  are known ) is given by :-

z=\dfrac{\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2}{\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}}

where ,

n_1\ \&\ n_2 = Sample sizes taken from two  populations 1 and 2.

\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2 = Difference between two Sample mean.

\sigma_1\ \&\ \sigma_2 = Standard deviations of populations 1 and 2.

As per given , we have

n_1=55\ \&\ n_2=58

\overline{x}_1=2.95\ \&\ \overline{x}_2=3.3

\sigma_1=0.65\ \&\ \sigma_2=0.56

We assume that the data follows a normal distribution.

Then, the test statistic will be :-

z=\dfrac{2.95-3.3}{\sqrt{\dfrac{(0.65)^2}{55}+\dfrac{(0.56)^2}{58}}}\\\\=\dfrac{-0.35}{\sqrt{0.0130887}}\\\\=\dfrac{-0.35}{0.1144059}=3.05928278174\approx-3.0593  

Hence, the test statistic= -3.0593
