longest part = 18 m

add the parts of the ratio 2 + 3 = 5

divide 30 by 5 to find the value of 1 part of the ratio

\frac{30}{5} = 6 ← 1 part

2 parts = 2 × 6 = 12 m

3 parts = 3 × 6 = 18 m ← longest part

Tina is planning to fence in an area for her dog. She wants to create a rectangular area of 1,600 square feet for her pet and ca
castortr0y [4]

The dimensions of the rectangular area of Tina's fence is 40 ft by 40 ft

<h3 />

<h3>Area of a rectangle:</h3>
  • area = lw

where

l = length

w = width

She wants to create a rectangular area of 1,600 square feet for her pet . Therefore,

  • area = 1600 ft²

lw = 1600

Therefore,

perimeter = 160 ft

Then,

perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + w)

160 = 2(l + w)

l + w = 80

Let's combine the equations

lw = 1600

l + w = 80

l = 80 - w

Therefore,

w(80 - w) = 1600

80w - w² = 1600

Therefore,

w² - 80w + 1600 = 0

w² - 40w - 40w + 1600 = 0

w(w - 40) - 40(w - 40) = 0

(w - 40)(w - 40) = 0

w = 40 or 40

Therefore, the dimensions can be calculated as follows:

lw = 1600

40l = 1600

l = 1600 / 40

l = 40 ft

Therefore, the dimensions are 40ft by 40 ft

The Alvin Secretarial Service procures temporary office personnel for major corporations. They have found that 60% of their invo
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

0.9942 = 99.42% probability that at least 6 of the invoices will be paid within ten working days

Step-by-step explanation:

For each invoice, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are paid within 10 working days, or they are not. The probability of an invoice being paid within 10 working days is independent of other invoices. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

60% of their invoices are paid within ten working days.

This means that p = 0.6

A random sample of 18 invoices is checked.

This means that n = 18

What is the probability that at least 6 of the invoices will be paid within ten working days?

Either less than 6 are paid within 10 working days, or at least 6 are paid. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. So

P(X < 6) + P(X \geq 6) = 1

We want P(X \geq 6). So

P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6)

In which

P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)

Then

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{18,0}.(0.6)^{0}.(0.4)^{18} \approx 0

P(X = 1) = C_{18,1}.(0.6)^{1}.(0.4)^{17} \approx 0

P(X = 2) = C_{18,2}.(0.6)^{2}.(0.4)^{16} \approx 0

P(X = 3) = C_{18,3}.(0.6)^{3}.(0.4)^{15} = 0.0002

P(X = 4) = C_{18,4}.(0.6)^{4}.(0.4)^{14} = 0.0011

P(X = 5) = C_{18,5}.(0.6)^{5}.(0.4)^{13} = 0.0045

P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0.0002 + 0.0011 + 0.0045 = 0.0058

Finally

P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6) = 1 - 0.0058 = 0.9942

0.9942 = 99.42% probability that at least 6 of the invoices will be paid within ten working days
