Answer:

11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>hey there,</em>

<em />

< A square has 4 sides that are all always equal to each other. The perimeter is all the sides summed up together. That means (for example), if one side of the square is 2 cm, then we know that the perimeter is 8 cm, because 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 (or 2×4=8).

Here we are given that one side is equal to "x-5". Pretend that is a number and solve as I did just right above:

(x-5)×4 = 4x -20

Now we know that the perimeter is (4x-20) units (when you don't know what the units are then just put "units").

We also know that the perimeter can be a number which is 24. That means these two values are equal to each other.

4x-20 = 24

Now solve! Bring x to one side, and all the numbers to the other side.

4x = 44

x = 11

We now know that the value of one side of the square (x) is equal to 11 units. >

The length of a rectangle is three more than twice the width. The perimeter is 96. What are the dimensions? ​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Width =15

Length =33

Step-by-step explanation:

Take width as x

And length as 2x+3

Perimeter as 96

Formula of the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l+2w

X+×+2×+3+2×+3=96

6x+6=96

6x=96-6

6×=90

X=15

Width =x and x =15 so width =15 while length =33

The mayor is interested in finding a 98% confidence interval for the mean number of pounds of trash per person per week that is
saul85 [17]

Solution :

Given :

Sample mean, $\overline X = 34.2$

Sample size, n = 129

Sample standard deviation, s = 8.2

a. Since the population standard deviation is unknown, therefore, we use the t-distribution.

b. Now for 95% confidence level,

   α = 0.05, α/2 = 0.025

  From the t tables, T.INV.2T(α, degree of freedom), we find the t value as

  t =T.INV.2T(0.05, 128) = 2.34

  Taking the positive value of t, we get  

  Confidence interval is ,

  $\overline X \pm t \times \frac{s}{\sqrt n}$

 $34.2 \pm 2.34 \times \frac{8.2}{\sqrt {129}}$

 (32.52, 35.8)

 95% confidence interval is  (32.52, 35.8)

So with $95 \%$ confidence of the population of the mean number of the pounds per person per week is between 32.52 pounds and 35.8 pounds.

c. About $95 \%$ of confidence intervals which contains the true population of mean number of the pounds of the trash that is generated per person per week and about $5 \%$ that doe not contain the true population of mean number of the pounds of trashes generated by per person per week.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y > 3x + 10

y < -3x - 1

<h3> Part A:</h3>

You'd graph the given systems of linear inequalities the same way as you graph the linear equations.  

To graph y > 3x + 10, plot the y-intercept, (0, 10), then use the slope, m = 3 (rise 3, run 1), to plot other points on the graph.  Use a dashed line (because of the ">" symbol).  

Follow the same steps for the other linear inequality. Plot the y-intercept, (0, -1), then use the slope, m = -3 (down 3, run 1) to plot other points. Use a dashed line (because of the "<" symbol).  

Pick a test point on either side of the boundary line and plug it into the original problem.  This will help determine which side of the boundary line is the solution.  Plug in a test point that is not on the boundary line.

Use the point of origin, (0, 0) as the test point. Plug in these values into the given systems of linear inequalities to see whether it will provide a true statement.  

y > 3x + 10

0 > 3(0) + 10

0 > 0 + 10

0 > 10 (False statement).  

y < -3x - 1

0 < -3(0) - 1

0 < 0 - 1

0 < -1 (false statement).  

Since the point of origin provided a false statement to the given systems of linear inequalities, you must shade the half-plane region where it doesn't contain the test point.  

<h3>Part B: </h3>

You'll do the same process as what I've done for the test point. Plug in the values of (8, 10) into the given systems of linear inequalities. If it provides a false statement, then it means that it is not a solution to the system.  

y > 3x + 10

10 > 3(8) + 10

10 > 24 + 10

10 > 34 (False statement).  

y < -3x - 1  

10 < -3(8) - 1

10 < -24 - 1

10 < -25 (false statement).  

Therefore, (8, 10) is not a solution to the system.
