P = perimeter

Perimeter of a rectangle = l + l + w + w

or P = 2l + 2w

You know:

P = 150 m

l = w + 5 [length is 5 m greater than the width]

P = 2l + 2w Plug in what you know

150 = 2(w + 5) + 2w Simplify, distribute/multiply 2 into (w + 5)

150 = 2w + 10 + 2w

150 = 4w + 10 Subtract 10 to both sides of the equation

140 = 4w Divide 4 on both sides

35 = w

PROOF l = w + 5 ---> l = 40

P = 2l + 2w

150 = 2(40) + 2(35)

150 = 80 + 70

150 = 150

g 78% of all Millennials drink Starbucks coffee at least once a week. Suppose a random sample of 50 Millennials will be selected

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

We know that n = 50 and p =0.78.

We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.

$np=50*0.78=39 \geq 10$

$n(1-p)=50*(1-0.78)=11 \geq 10$

Since both conditions are satisfied we can use the normal approximation and the distribution for the proportion is given by:

$p \sim N (p, \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

With the following parameters:

$\mu_ p = 0.78$

$\sigma_p = \sqrt{\frac{0.78*(1-0.78)}{50}}= 0.0586$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

We know that n = 50 and p =0.78.

We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.

$np=50*0.78=39 \geq 10$

$n(1-p)=50*(1-0.78)=11 \geq 10$

Since both conditions are satisfied we can use the normal approximation and the distribution for the proportion is given by:

$p \sim N (p, \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

With the following parameters:

$\mu_ p = 0.78$

$\sigma_p = \sqrt{\frac{0.78*(1-0.78)}{50}}= 0.0586$

Anybody know how to do Special Right Triangles for geometry if so could you explain how to do it.

Lina20 [59]

Step 1: This is a right triangle with two equal sides so it must be a 45°-45°-90° triangle. Step 2: You are given that the both the sides are 3. If the first and second value of the ratio x:x:x√2 is 3 then the length of the third side is 3√2. Answer: The length of the hypotenuse is 3√2 inches.
