Area of 320 square feet, the width of the room is 4/5 it's length

Area=legnth times width or
a=lw

if w=4/5l
and a=320 then subsitute 320 for a dn 4/5l for w
320=4/5l times l
multiply both sides by 5 to clear fraction
1600=4l times l
ad like terms
1600=4l^2
subtract 1600 from both sides
0=4l^2-1600
try and factor because if you have xy=0 then x and/or y=0 so
difference of 2 perfect squares where
if you have a^2-b^2 then that equals(a-b)(a+b) so
0=(2l)^2-(40)^2=(2l-40)(2l+40)

so 2l-40=0
add 40 to both sides
2l=40
divide by 2
l=20

if
2l+40=0
subtract 40 from both sides
2l=-40
divide 2
l=-20
since meausrements of real objects cannot be negative, wediscard this number

l=20 is thhe true legnth s
subsitute
w=4/5l
w=4/5(20)
w=80/5
w=16

legnth=20
width=16

A store randomly samples 603 shoppers over the course of a year and finds that 142 of them made their visit because of a coupon

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the fraction of all shoppers during the year whose visit was because of a coupon they'd received in the mail is (0.2016, 0.2694).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

A store randomly samples 603 shoppers over the course of a year and finds that 142 of them made their visit because of a coupon they'd received in the mail.

This means that $n = 603, \pi = \frac{142}{603} = 0.2355$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2355 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2355*0.7645}{603}} = 0.2016$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2355 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2355*0.7645}{603}} = 0.2694$

The 95% confidence interval for the fraction of all shoppers during the year whose visit was because of a coupon they'd received in the mail is (0.2016, 0.2694).
