Answer:

Length: 84 ft

Width: 56 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define some variables first.

Call the length l and width w.

We know that w = 2/3l. Therefore, we can express w in terms of l with this expression.

Now, let's set up an equation. The flower garden is rectangular, and 280 feet of fencing are used to enclose the garden. This represents perimeter.

Remember the formula for perimeter of a rectangle: 2l + 2w

Let's substitute 2/3l for w:

2l + 2*2/3l = P

2l + 4/3l = 280

2 4/3l = 280

10/3l = 280

l = 84

Now, we know that the length is equal to 84 feet. We can multiply 84 feet by 2/3 to find the width.

84*2/3 = 56

Length: 84 ft

Width: 56 ft

Let's plug these values into the formula and see if they give us the correct perimeter:

2l + 2w = P

2*84 + 2*56 = P

168 + 112

= 280 feet

These are the correct dimensions!  

Hope this helps! You can reach out to me if you have further questions or concerns! :)

The Atlanta Braves baseball team has a mean batting average of 250 with a standard deviation of 20. Assume the batting averages
nignag [31]

Answer:

68 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have our mean x = 250 and standard deviation σ = 20, we need to find how many standard deviations away the values 230 and 270 are.

Note x - σ = 250 - 20 = 230 and x + σ = 250 + 20 = 270

The values are one standard deviation away.

So, the values between 230 and 270 lie in the range x - σ to x + σ.

Since the batting averages are approximately normally distributed and for a normal distribution, 68 % of the values lie in the range x - σ to x + σ.

So, 68 % of Braves players fall between 230 and 270.
