Answer:

8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the width (w) in inches such that ...

V = LWH

2720 = (2w+4)·w·17 . . . . . . . . . . fill in the given values

80 = (w+2)(w) = w^2 + 2w . . . . . divide by 34

81 = (w +1)^2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . complete the square

9 = w+1 . . . . . . square root (we only care about the positive solution)

8 = w . . . . . . . . subtract 1

The width of the box is 8 inches.

Rounding to the first decimal place, calculate the mean for the following distribution of homicide rates in the 12 metropolitan
Lelechka [254]

Solution :

Given :

X = homicide rate (homicides per 100,00 population)

n = 12 = metropolitan areas

Area                          X (homicides per 100,000 population)

Mesa, AZ                   4.1

Seattle, WA               3.8

Portland, OR (tie)      3.4

New York, NY(tie)     3.4

Virginia beach, VA   3.3

San Jose, CA           3.1

EI, Paso, TX             2.6

Austin, TX                2.6

San Diago, CA         2.4

Suffolk County         2.2

Montgomery, MD    2.0

Fairfax, VA              1.7

Therefore, the mean of X = $\bar X = \frac{\sum X_i}{n}$

                                           $=\frac{34.9}{12}$

                                          = 2.9

Therefore, the mean of homicide rater in the 12 metropolitan areas is 2.9 homicide per 100,000 population.
