A rectangle has a length that is 5 inches greater than its width, and its area is 104 square inches. The equation (x + 5)x = 104

represents the situation, where x represents the width of the rectangle. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?

1. Regroup terms
x(x+5)=104

2. Expand
x^2+5x=104

3. Move all terms to one side
x^2+5x-104=0

4. Factor x^2+5x-104
(x-8)(x+13)=0

5. Solve for x
x=8 or x=-13
Since x<0 is not possible in this case, x=8

6. Finding the dimensions
We know that one side has to be x+5, and now that we know x:
8+5=13
13*8=104

The dimensions are 13 and 8, have a nice day :D

A College Alcohol Study has interviewed random samples of students at four-year colleges. In the most recent study, 494 of 1000
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportion of women who drink alcohol and the proportion of men who drink alcohol is (-0.102, -0.014) or (-10.2%, -1.4%).

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to calculate the bounds of a 95% confidence interval of the difference between proportions.

For a 95% CI, the critical value for z is z=1.96.

The sample 1 (women), of size n1=1000 has a proportion of p1=0.494.

p_1=X_1/n_1=494/1000=0.494

The sample 2 (men), of size n2=1000 has a proportion of p2=0.552.

p_2=X_2/n_2=552/1000=0.552

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=-0.058.

p_d=p_1-p_2=0.494-0.552=-0.058

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{494+552}{1000+1000}=\dfrac{1046}{2000}=0.523

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.523*0.477}{1000}+\dfrac{0.523*0.477}{1000}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.000249+0.000249}=\sqrt{0.000499}=0.022

Then, the margin of error is:

MOE=z \cdot s_{p1-p2}=1.96\cdot 0.022=0.0438

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=(p_1-p_2)-z\cdot s_{p1-p2} = -0.058-0.0438=-0.102\\\\UL=(p_1-p_2)+z\cdot s_{p1-p2}= -0.058+0.0438=-0.014

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.102, -0.014).

What is b + 1.1 = - 11
gladu [14]
B + 1.1 = -11

Subtract 1.1 from both sides to get b.

So, b = -12.1
