Answer:

l = 60 yd; w = 30 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two bits of information

(a) The perimeter of the rectangle

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is

             P = 2l + 2w

             P = 180 yd     Insert into the formula

(1) 2l + 2w = 180

===============

(b) The length-to-width ratio

(2) l = 2w

Substitute the value of l from Equation (2) into Equation (1)

2×(2w) + 2w = 180

===============

Solve for w

4w + 2w = 180     Combine like term s

        6w = 180     Divide each side by 6

          w = 30 yd

===============

Solve for l

Substitute the value for w into Equation (1).

2l +2×30 = 180

   2l +60 = 180     Subtract 60 from each side

          2l = 120      Divide each side by 2

            l = 60 yd

The field is 60 yd long and 30 yd wide.

===============

<em>Check</em>:

P = 2×60 + 2×30

P = 120 + 60

P = 180 yd

Also

60 = 2 × 30

60 = 60

The manager of a paint supply store wants to estimate the actual amount of paint contained in 1​-gallon cans purchased from a na
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a. 95​% confidence interval estimate for the population mean amount of paint included in a​ 1-gallon can is 0.998±0.0055

b.  <u>No,</u> because a​ 1-gallon paint can containing exactly​ 1-gallon of paint lies <u>within</u> the 95​% confidence interval.

c. Yes.  The population amount of paint per can is assumed normally distributed, because confidence interval calculations assume normal distribution of the parameter.

d. 90% confidence interval is 0.998±0.0046. ​The answer in b. didn't change; 1-gallon paint can containing exactly​ 1-gallon of paint lies <u>within</u> the 90​% confidence interval. The manager <u>doesn't have</u> a right to complain to the manufacturer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval can be calculated using M±ME where

M is the sample mean amount of paint per 1​-gallon can (0.998 gallon)

ME is the margin of error from the mean

And margin of error (ME) can be calculated using the equation

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the corresponding statistic in the 95% confidence level (1.96)
  • s is the sample standard deviation (0.02 gallon)
  • N is the sample size (50)

Then ME=\frac{1.96*0.02}{\sqrt{50} }≈0.0055

95% confidence interval is 0.998±0.0055

90% confidence interval can be calculated similary, only z statistic is 1.64.

ME=\frac{1.64*0.02}{\sqrt{50} }  ≈0.0046

90% confidence interval is 0.998±0.0046
