The width is 42 inches. If you add 42+42+30+30, it equals 144. (l+l+w+w)

Answer:

30 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To correctly evaluate this we have to give algebraic values to both the width and the length, so the width would be X, and the legnth is 12 inches larger than the length so this would be expressed by: x+12, so the equation of the perimeter would be:

P=2W+2L

P=2(x)+2(x+12)

P=2x+2x+24

Now you just evaluate the equation for perimeter=144.

144=2x+2x+24

144=4x+24

120=4x

x=\frac{120}{4}

x=\frac{120}{4}=30

So the width of the rectangle is 30 inches.

What to do if quadratic equation has a negative spuare root?
alex41 [277]

If the negative square root is found to be one of your solutions, then that is indicative of a pair of imaginary roots (the imaginary i). According to the conjugate rule, if you have one solution that is imaginary, you will have another but with the opposite sign. For example, if a solution to a quadratic is found to be 2 - i, then its conjugate, 2 + i is also a solution. They will ALWAYS go in pairs. Same thing with radical solutions. If one solution is found to be 3+\sqrt{5}

then 3-\sqrt{5} will also be a solution.

Find the unknown. = (65 × 3) + 9
alekssr [168]

Answer:

204

Step-by-step explanation:

Following the order of operations, what is within the parenthesis is solved first.

<em>65 x 3 = 195</em>

Then, you add 9 to 195.

<em>195 + 9 = 204</em>

<em>204</em> is the final answer.

Have a nice day! ^-^

A sample of 114 mortgages approved during the current year showed that 36 were issued to a single-earner family or individual. T
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

a-1) Reject H0 if zcalc > 1.645

a-2) z=\frac{0.316 -0.28}{\sqrt{\frac{0.28(1-0.28)}{114}}}=0.8561  

a-3) ii. False

b) ii. No

c) iii. n π > 10 and n(1 − π ) > 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=114 represent the random sample taken

X=36 represent the people that were issued to a single-earner family or individual

\hat p=\frac{36}{114}=0.316 estimated proportion of people that were issued to a single-earner family or individual

p_o=0.28 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

(a-1) H0: π ≤ .28 versus H1: π > .28. Choose the right option. Reject H0 if zcalc > 1.645 Reject H0 if zcalc < 1.645 a b

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is less than 0.28.:  

Null hypothesis:p\geq 0.28  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.28  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

The rejection zone would be on this case :

Reject H0 if zcalc > 1.645

Since is a right tailed test

(a-2) Calculate the test statistic. (Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) Test statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.316 -0.28}{\sqrt{\frac{0.28(1-0.28)}{114}}}=0.8561  

(a-3) The null hypothesis should be rejected.

False, since our calculated value is less than our critical value we Fails to reject the null hypothesis

(b) Is this a close decision?

False the calculated value is significantly less than the critical value so we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis with enough confidence.

(c) State any assumptions that are required.

In order to satisfy the conditions we need the following two requirements:

iii. n π > 10 and n(1 − π ) > 10

And are satisfied:

114*0.28=31.92>10

114(1-0.28)=82,08>10
