A shipping service restricts the dimensions of the boxes it will ship for a certain type of service. The restriction states that

for boxes shaped like rectangular prisms, the sum of the perimeter of the base of the box and the height of the box cannot exceed 130 inches. The perimeter of the base is determined using the width and length of the box. If a box has a height of 60 inches and its length is 2.5 times the width, which inequality shows the allowable width in inches, of the box?

Answer:

w =< 70

(width is less or equal to 70 inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l = length, w = width, h = height

Restrictions given in this question:

'sum of perimeter of the base and the height cannot exceed 130 inches'

perimeter of the base is 2 width and 2 length of the box

perimeter = 2w + 2l

Therefore, inequality involves here is

2w + 2l + h =< 130

(Note that =< here means less or equal)

Then a new condition given with

height, h = 60 in

and length is 2.5 times the width

l = 2.5w

Substitute this new condition into the equation will give us the following:

2w + 2(2.5w) + 60 =< 130

2w + 5w + 60 =< 130

7w + 60 =< 130

7w =< 130-60

7w =< 70

w =< 10

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

264.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of trout in the lake.

We have been given that a group of naturalists catch, tag and release 121 trout into a lake. The next day they catch and release 48 trout, of which 22 had been tagged.

Using proportions, we will get:

\frac{\text{Total trouts}}{\text{Tagged trouts}}=\frac{48}{22}

\frac{x}{121}=\frac{48}{22}

\frac{x}{121}*121=\frac{48}{22}*121

x=\frac{24}{11}*121

x=24*11

x=264

Therefore, there would be approximately 264 trout in the lake.

Suppose GRE Quantitative scores are normally distributed with a mean of 587587 and a standard deviation of 152152. A university
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The minimum score required for the job offer is 751.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 587, \sigma = 152

What is the minimum score required for the job offer?

Top 14%, so the minimum score is the 100-14 = 86th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.86. So X when Z = 1.08.

Then

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.08 = \frac{X - 587}{152}

X - 587 = 1.08*152

X = 751.16

Rounding to the nearest whole number:

The minimum score required for the job offer is 751.
