Patrick has just finished building a pen for his new dog. The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long. He also built a doghouse to p

ut in the pen which has a perimeter that is equal to the area of its base. After putting the doghouse in the pen, he calculates that the dog will have 178 square feet of space to run around inside the pen. He also finds that the perimeter of the pen is 3 times greater than the perimeter of the doghouse. If x represents the length of the pen and y represents the area of the doghouse, then which of the following systems of equations can be used to determine the length and width of the pen and the area of the doghouse?
Options:

A)
178=x²-3x-y
6=4x-3y

B)
178=x²+3x-y
-6=4x-3y

C)
178=x²+3x
-6=4x-3y

D)
178=x²+3x+y
-6=4x-3y

General Idea:

(i) Assign variable for the unknown that we need to find

(ii) Sketch a diagram to help us visualize the problem

(iii) Write the mathematical equation representing the description given.

(iv) Solve the equation by substitution method. Solving means finding the values of the variables which will make both the equation TRUE

Applying the concept:

Given: x represents the length of the pen and y represents the area of the doghouse

<u>Statement 1: </u>"The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long"

Length \; of\; the \; pen = x\\ Width \; of\; the\; pen=x+3

------

<u>Statement 2: "He also built a doghouse to put in the pen which has a perimeter that is equal to the area of its base"</u>

Area \; of\; the\; Dog \; house=y\\ Perimeter \; of\; Dog\; house=y

------

<u>Statement 3: "After putting the doghouse in the pen, he calculates that the dog will have 178 square feet of space to run around inside the pen."</u>

Area \; of \; the\; Pen - Area \;of \;the\;Dog \;House=\;Space\;inside\;Pen\\ \\ x \cdot (x+3)-y=178\\ Distributing \;x\;in\;the\;left\;side\;of\;the\;equation\\ \\ x^2+3x-y=178\Rightarrow\; 1^{st}\; Equation\\

------

<u>Statement 4: "The perimeter of the pen is 3 times greater than the perimeter of the doghouse."</u>

Perimeter\; of\; the\; Pen=3\; \cdot \; Perimeter\; of\; the\; Dog\; House\\ \\ 2(x \; + \; x+3)=3 \cdot y\\ Combine\; like\; terms\; inside\; the\; parenthesis\\ \\ 2(2x+3)=3y\\ Distribute\; 2\; in\; the\; left\; side\; of\; the\; equation\\ \\ 4x+6=3y\\ Subtract \; 6\; and \; 3y\; on\; both\; sides\; of\; the\; equation\\ \\ 4x+6-3y-6=3y-3y-6\\ Combine\; like\; terms\\ \\ 4x-3y=-6 \Rightarrow \; \; 2^{nd}\; Equation\\

Conclusion:

The systems of equations that can be used to determine the length and width of the pen and the area of the doghouse is given in Option B.

178=x^2+3x-y\\ \\ -6=4x-3y

A local car dealer claims that 25% of all cars in San Francisco are blue. You take a random sample of 600 cars in San Francisco
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We would set up the hypothesis test.

For the null hypothesis,

p = 0.25

For the alternative hypothesis,

p ≠ 0.25

b) The test statistic to be used is the z test. The formula is

z = (P - p)/√pq/n

c) Considering the population proportion, probability of success, p = 0.25

q = probability of failure = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75

Considering the sample,

Sample proportion, P = x/n

Where

x = number of success = 141

n = number of samples = 600

P = 141/600 = 0.235

Therefore

z = (0.235 - 0.25)/√(0.25 × 0.75)/600 = - 0.85

d) Recall, population proportion, p = 0.25

The difference between sample proportion and population proportion is 0.25 - 0235. = 0.015

Since the curve is symmetrical and it is a two tailed test, the p for the left tail is 0.25 - 0.015 = 0.235

the p for the right tail is 0.25 + 0.015 = 0.265

These proportions are lower and higher than the null proportion. Thus, they are evidence in favour of the alternative hypothesis. We will look at the area in both tails. Since it is showing in one tail only, we would double the area

From the normal distribution table, the area below the test z score in the left tail 0.198

We would double this area to include the area in the right tail of z = 0.85. Thus

p = 0.198 × 2 = 0.396

e) Since alpha, 0.01 < than the p value, 0.396, then we would fail to reject the null hypothesis.

f) In a sample of 600 cars, we would observe a sample proportion of 0.015 or more away from 0.25 about 39.6% of the time by chance alone. Therefore, the sample result is not statistically significant because it could occur in 39.6% of the time by chance alone.
