A rectangle has a width of 10cm. The rectangle length is 4 times its width

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

P = 100 centimeters (assuming you are asking for the perimeter)

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2 (L + W) OR P = 2L + 2W where P equals the perimeter, L equals the length, and W equals the width.

Since the rectangle's length is 4 times its width and given we know the width is 10 centimeters, then the length is 40 centimeters. Now we can substitute these values in our formula, okay?

P = 2 (L + W)

P = 2 (40 + 10)

P = 80 + 20

P = 100 centimeters

Suppose that the mean time that visitors stay at a museum is 94.2 minutes with a standard deviation of 15.5 minutes. The standar

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

$94.2 -0.994*3.1 = 91.1186$

$94.2 +0.994*3.1 = 97.2814$

And the 68% confidence interval is given by (91.1186, 97.2814)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that mean time that visitors stay at a museum is given by:

$\bar X = 94.2$

The standard deviation is given by:

$s= 15.5$

And the standard error is given by:

$SE = \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} =3.1$

And we want to interval captures 68% of the means for random samples of 25 scores and for this case the critical value can be founded like this using the normal standard distribution or excel:

$z_{\alpha/2}= \pm 0.994$
