Richard has a rectangular plot of land that is 525 feet long and y feet wide. He decides to build a fence around the plot. If th

e perimeter of the plot is 1,504 feet, find the value for y.

Answer:

y = 227 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is P=2(L+B);

1504 = 2(525 + y)....... divide both sides by 2 we would have;

752 = 525 + y

y = 752 - 525

y = 227 feet

Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean, mu. Assume the population has a normal distribution. A group of 1

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

99% confidence interval for the population mean is [19.891 , 24.909].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a group of 19 randomly selected students has a mean age of 22.4 years with a standard deviation of 3.8 years.

Assuming the population has a normal distribution.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 99% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean age of selected students = 22.4 years

s = sample standard deviation = 3.8 years

n = sample of students = 19

$\mu$ = population mean

<em>Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used t statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation.</em>

So, 99% confidence interval for the population mean, $\mu$ is ;

P(-2.878 < $t_1_8$ < 2.878) = 0.99 {As the critical value of t at 18 degree of

freedom are -2.878 & 2.878 with P = 0.5%}

P(-2.878 < $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 2.878) = 0.99

P( $-2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X - \mu}$ < $2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.99

P( $\bar X -2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X +2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$ ) = 0.99

<u>99% confidence interval for</u> $\mu$ = [ $\bar X -2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$ , $\bar X +2.878 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$ ]

= [ $22.4 -2.878 \times {\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{19} }$ , $22.4 +2.878 \times {\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{19} }$ ]

= [19.891 , 24.909]

Therefore, 99% confidence interval for the population mean is [19.891 , 24.909].

If(√14/√7-2)-(√14/√7+2)=a√7+b√2 find the values of a and b where a and b are rational numbers

seraphim [82]

Answer:

a = 4/3 and b = 0

============================

<h2>Given expression:</h2>

$\dfrac{\sqrt{14} }{\sqrt{7}-2} -\dfrac{\sqrt{14} }{\sqrt{7}+2}$

<h2>Simplify it in steps:</h2>

<h3>Step 1</h3>

Bring both fractions into common denominator:

$\dfrac{\sqrt{14} (\sqrt{7}+2)}{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)} - \dfrac{\sqrt{14} (\sqrt{7}-2)}{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)}$

<h3>Step 2</h3>

Simplify:

$\dfrac{\sqrt{14} ((\sqrt{7}+2) - (\sqrt{7}-2))}{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)} =$

$\dfrac{\sqrt{14} (\sqrt{7}+2 - \sqrt{7}+2)}{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)} =$

$\dfrac{4\sqrt{14} }{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)} =$

$\dfrac{4\sqrt{14} }{(\sqrt{7})^2-2^2} =$

$\dfrac{4\sqrt{14} }{7-4} =$

$\dfrac{4}{3} \sqrt{14} }$

<h3>Step 3</h3>

Compare the result with given expression to get:

a = 4/3 and b = 0

My soccer team has 16 players. I have to choose a starting lineup of a goalie and 10 regular players (the regular players are in

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

3003

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find out how many ways we can choose 10 players among 15 players (since the goalie is not interchangeable)

The number of different lineups you can have can be found by using combination:

$^{15}C_{10} = \frac{15!}{(15 - 10)! 10!}\\ \\= \frac{15!}{5! * 10!} \\\\= 3003$

There are 3003 different lineups that can be chosen.

How can you solve real-world and mathematical problems with numerical and algebraic equations and inequalities?

Oliga [24]

You can solve real-world and mathematical problems with numerical and algebraic equations and inequalities. Algebra can be applied to the temperature in different places that both change, height of a growing child over time, the speed of a car that changes over time (mph), and the age of people that increases over year. Algebra is used in parts of our everyday life, we just don’t realize it.
