Ed’s den is 6 feet longer than it is wide. If the​ den's area is 352 square​ feet, what are the dimensions of the​ room?

Let's set W as the width of the room and L as the length of the den. We know that the den is 10 ft longer than it is wide so that means:

W + 10 = L

Let's call this equation 1.

So also know that the area of the den is 144 ft2. Knowing that the equation for the area of a square is W x L, we know that for this den:

W x L = 144

Let's call this equation 2.

So now we have 2 equations and 2 unknowns. Let's take equation 1 and solve for W:

W = L - 10

Now we can substitute this value into equation 2.

(L - 10) x L = 144

L2 - 10L = 144

This looks very close to a quadratic equation. In fact, if we subtract 144 from both sides, we get the quadratic equation of:

L2 - 10L - 144 = 0

Now we can factor this equation into:

(L+8)(L-18) = 0

That means the two answers for L are -8 ft and 18 ft.

We can now substitute these values for L into equation 1 to solve for W.

W = L - 10

W = 18 - 10 or W = -8 - 10

So our 2 values for W are 8 ft and -18 ft.

Let's just make sure we did this correctly. We know that the area is 144 so (-8*-18) and (18*8) should equal 144 and it does! That means we did it correctly. Give that a den exists, it does not make sense that it has negative values, so the one real answer for this problem is that the width is 8 ft and the length is 18 ft.

The USA Today reports that the average expenditure on Valentine's Day is $100.89. Do male and female consumers differ in the amo
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

a)\ \ \bar x_m-\bar x_f=67.03\\\\b)\ \ E=15.7416\\\\c)\ \ CI=[51.2884, \ 82.7716]

Step-by-step explanation:

a. -Given that:

n_m=41\ , \ \sigma_m=33, \bar x_m=135.67\\\\n_f=37. \ \ ,\sigma_f=20, \ \ \bar x_f=68.64

#The point estimator of the difference between the population mean expenditure for males and the population mean expenditure for females is calculated as:

\bar x_m-\bar x_f\\\\\therefore \bigtriangleup\bar x=135.67-68.64\\\\=67.03

Hence, the pointer is estimator 67.03

b. The standard error of the point estimator,\bar x_m-\bar x_f is calculated by the following following:

\sigma_{\bar x_m-\bar x_f}=\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_m^2}{n_m}+\frac{\sigma_f^2}{n_f}}

-And the margin of error, E at a 99% confidence can be calculated as:

E=z_{\alpha/2}\times \sigma_{\bar x_m-\bar x_f}\\\\\\=z_{0.005}\times\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_m^2}{n_m}+\frac{\sigma_f^2}{n_f}}\\\\\\=2.575\times \sqrt{\frac{33^2}{41}+\frac{20^2}{37}}\\\\\\=15.7416

Hence, the margin of error is 15.7416

c. The estimator confidence interval is calculated using the following formula:

\bar x_m-\bar x_f\ \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_m^2}{n_m}+\frac{\sigma_f^2}{n_f}}

#We substitute to solve for the confidence interval using the standard deviation and sample size values in  a above:

CI=\bar x_m-\bar x_f\ \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_m^2}{n_m}+\frac{\sigma_f^2}{n_f}}\\\\=(135.67-68.64)\pm 15.7416\\\\=67.03\pm 15.7416\\\\=[51.2884, \ 82.7716]

Hence, the 99% confidence interval is [51.2884,82.7716]
