Given:
pool length : 10 yards
pool width : 8 yards

Area = 10 yds * 8 yds = 80 yd²

(10 + 2x)(8 + 2x) = 120
10(8 + 2x) + 2x(8+2x) = 120
80 + 20x + 16x + 4x² = 120
4x² + 36x + 80 - 120 = 0
4x² + 36x - 40 = 0
4(x² + 9x - 10) = 0
4(x + 10)(x - 1) = 0

x + 10 = 0
x = -10
x - 1 = 0
x = 1

the width of the deck is 1 yard

Answer:

More than 50% would germinate

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in the production of a plant, a treatment is being evaluated to germinate seed. From a total of 60 seed it was observed that 37 of them germinated

Let us check whether more than 50% will germinate using hypothesis test

$H_0: p = 0.50\\H_a: p>0.50\\$

(right tailed test)

Sample proportion p = $\frac{37}{60} =0.617\\q = 0.383\\Std error = \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } =0.0628$

p difference = 0.117

Test statistic Z = p difference/std error = 1.864

p value =0.0312

Since p value <0.05 our significance level of 5% we reject null hypothesis

It is possible to claim that most of the seed will germinate (i.e. more than 50%)
