Answer:

length = 10 cm; width = 25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length 2x and the width 5x. Since perimeter can be calculated by multiplying the sum of the length and width by 2 we can write:

2 * (2x + 5x) = 70

2 * (7x) = 70

7x = 35

x = 5 which means the length is 2 * 5 = 10 and the width is 5 * 5 = 25.

Solve the equation<br> 3x/ 8 - 4x/3 =4
Virty [35]

Answer:

x = -96/23

Step-by-step explanation

\frac{3x}{8} - \frac{4x}{3} = 4

multiply each side of equation by 24 to eliminate denominators

(24) \frac{3x}{8} - \frac{4x}{3} = 4 (24)

3(3x) - 8(4x) = 96

9x - 32x = 96

-23x = 96

x = -96/23

You want to estimate the probability that a lightbulb of a famous brand will last more than 6.500 hours. You choose 10,000 bulbs
brilliants [131]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The likelihood function to estimate this probability can be written as:

mat[1000, 9800]p9580(1 - p)420

(b) The value of the maximum likelihood estimate of the probability 0.958(By taking log of expression in (a) above)

(c) when the true probability is 98%, then it implies that 9800 of 10,000 bulbs did last over 6500hours.

Therefore, the likelihood is p(9800) = mat[10000, 9800]p9800(1 - p)200

(d) Method of moments estimate is the estimation of all the parameters of the population sample.

(e) The statement is FALSE because estimates by the method of moments are not necessarily sufficient statistics, because sometimes fail to take into account all relevant information in the sample. As in the above question
