Area = Length × Width

60 3/8 = (5 1/2 × w) + (6 × w)
60 3/8 = 11 1/2 + 2w
48 7/8 = 2w
24 7/16 = w

Width: 24 7/16

By definition, the area of a rectangle is:

A = w * l

Where,

w: width of the rectangle

l: length of the rectangle

The total area is given by:

A = A1 + A2

Where,

A1: rectangular wooden board 1

A2: rectangular wooden board 2

Substituting we have:

60 \frac{3}{8} = (6) (w) + (5\frac{1}{2}) (w)

Rewriting we have:

\frac{483}{8} = (6) (w) + (\frac{11}{2}) (w)

483 = 48w + 44w\\483 = 92w

w = \frac{483}{92}\\w = 5.25

 w = 5 \frac{1}{4}

Answer:

The width is given by:

w = 5 \frac{1}{4}

The Orchard Cafe has found that about 3% of the diners who make reservations don't show up. If 83 reservations have been made, h

Answer:

\mu = 80.51\\\sigma = 1.56

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Percentage of of the diners who make reservations don't show up = 3%

Number of reservations = 83

Thus, we are given a binomial distribution with n = 83 and p = 0.97

X\sim \text{ Binom}(p = 0.97, n = 83)

\mu = np = (83)(0.97) = 80.51

Around 81 people  can be expected to show up.

\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{(83)(0.97)(1-0.97)} = 1.5541 \approx 1.56

The standard deviation of this distribution is 1.56
