Answer:

The length and width of the pool area is:

  • Length = 60 feet.
  • Width = 35 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 130-foot fence should enclose only three parts of the pool (two wide and one long), equations are performed to express the information provided.

First an equation that says the total feet in the fence:

  1. X + 2Y = 130 (where X is the length and Y is the width)
  2. X = 2Y-10 (since the length is 10 feet less than twice the width)

With these equations, we proceed to replace the second equation in the first one and solve for Y:

  • X + 2Y = 130
  • 2Y -10 + 2Y = 130
  • 4Y - 10 = 130
  • 4Y = 130 + 10
  • Y = 140/4
  • <u>Y = 35 feet</u>

Since we already know that the width corresponds to 35 feet, we use the second equation to find the value of X:

  • X = 2Y-10
  • X = 2 (35) -10
  • X = 70 - 10
  • <u>X = 60 </u>

With which it is identified that the length is 60 feet.

\250 doctors from three countries in Europe meeting in a conference to decide whether to approve a new vaccine for the flu. Amon
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

0.683 = 68.3% probability that a randomly chosen doctor is in favor of the vaccine

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen doctor is in favor of the vaccine

75% of 115/250 = 0.46(German).

60% of 65/250 = 0.26(French).

65% of 70/250 = 0.28(Englishmen). So

p = 0.75*0.46 + 0.6*0.26 + 0.65*0.28 = 0.683

0.683 = 68.3% probability that a randomly chosen doctor is in favor of the vaccine
