Answer:

a) P(X=41)= 0.0086 = 0.86%

b) P(36≤X≤38)== 0.1215 = 12.15%

c) would be unusual that fewer that 20 murders were cleared because P(X≤20) = 0.000081 =0.0081%

Step-by-step explanation:

if the random variable X= number of cleared murders , then X follows a binomial distribution:

P(X=x)= n!/[(n-x)!*x!]*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where P(X=x)= probability of x cleared murders, n= number of murders selected=50 , p= probability for a murder to be cleared (67%)

therefore

a) P(X=41)=50!/[(50-41)!*41!]*0.67^41*0.33^(50-41)= 0.0086

b) P(36≤X≤38)= P(X≤38) - P(X≤36) = 0.9371- 0.8156 = 0.1215

c) P(X≤20) = 0.000081

therefore would be unusual that fewer that 20 murders were cleared

The length of the rectangle is 20 inches, and the width of the rectangle is 4 inches if the table runner has an area of 80 square inches. The length and width of the table runner are whole numbers. The length is 5 times greater than the width.

<h3>What is the area of the rectangle?</h3>

It is defined as the space occupied by the rectangle which is planner 2-dimensional geometry.

The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is given by:

Area of rectangle = length × width

The area of the table runner = 80 square inches

Let's assume the length of the rectangle is L and the width is W

Then L = 5×W ...(1)

L×W = 80 ...(2)

Put the value of L in the equation (2)

5W(W) = 80

5W² = 80

W² = 16

W = ±4

Width cannot be negative.

W = 4 inches putting this value in the equation (1)

L = 5(4) = 20 inches

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 20 inches, and the width of the rectangle is 4 inches if the table runner has an area of 80 square inches. The length and width of the table runner are whole numbers. The length is 5 times greater than the width.
