Answer:

<h2>Length = 13 in. </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of a rectangle (P) = 2L + 2W

where;

P = 42 in.

Length (L) = 5 + W

Find:

length (L) of the rectangle

solution:

P = 2L + 2W

42 = 2(5 + W) + 2W

42 = 10 + 2W + 2W

42 - 10 = 4W

32 = 4W

W = 32/4

W = 8

Length (L) = 5 + W

= 5 + 8

= 13 in

proof:

42 = 2(13) + 2(8)

42 = 42 in

Answer:

the variance of the refund payment to the couple = 9463.394

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

A couple book a cruise to Alaska that promises to refund 100 per day of rain on the seven day cruise up to a maximum of 300.

It is possible that the couple won't be able to refund up 100 per day or more than 100 per day.

SO; let assume that the refund payment happens to be 0, 100,200, 300

Let X be the total refund payment on the seven day cruise.

We can say X = 0, if there is no rain on all 7 days.

$P(X = 0) = _nC_x * P^x * (1 - P)n-x$

$P(X = 0) = _7C_o * 0.2^0 * (1-0.2)^{7-0$

$P(X = 0) =1 * 1* (1-0.2)^{7$

$P(X = 0) =(0.8)^{7$

$P(X = 0) =0.2097152$

If it rains on any one day; then X = 100

$P(X = 100) = _nC_x * P^x * (1 - P)n-x$

$P(X = 100) = _7C_1 * 0.2^1 * (1-0.2)^{7-1$

$P(X = 0) =7 * 0.2* (1-0.2)^{6$

$P(X = 100) =7* 0.2* (0.8)^{6$

$P(X = 100) =0.3670016$

if it rains on any two day ; then X = 200

$P(X = 200) = _nC_x * P^x * (1 - P)n-x$

$P(X = 200) = _7C_2 * 0.2^2 * (1-0.2)^{7-2$

$P(X = 200) = 21 * 0.2^2 * (0.8)^{5$

$P(X = 200) = 0.2752512$

if it rains on any three day or more than that ; then X = 300

$P(X \ge 300) = 1 - P(X < 300) \\ \\ P(X \ge 300) = 1 - [P(X = 0) + P(X = 100) + P(X = 200)] \\ \\ P(X \ge 300) = 1 - [0.2097152 + 0.3670016 + 0.2752512] \\ \\ P(X \ge 300) = 0.148032$

Now; we have our probability distribution function as:

P(X = 0) = 0.2097152

P(X = 100) = 0.3670016

P(X = 200) = 0.2752512

P(X = 300) = 0.148032

In order to determine the variance of the refund payment to the couple; we use the formula:

variance of the refund payment to the couple $[Var X] =E [X^2] - (E [X])^2$

where;

$E[X^2] = \sum x^2 \times p \\ \\ E[X^2] = 0^2 * 0.2097152 + 100^2 * 0.3670016 + 200^2 * 0.2752512 + 300^2 * 0.148032 \\ \\ E[X^2] = 0 + 3670.016 + 11010.048+ 13322.88 \\ \\ E[X^2] =28002.944$

$(E [X]) = \sum x * p\\ \\ (E [X]) = 0 * 0.2097152 + 100 * 0.3670016 + 200 * 0.2752512 + 300 * 0.148032 \\ \\ (E [X]) = 0 + 36.70016 + 55.05024 + 44.4096\\ \\ (E [X]) = 136.16 \\ \\ (E [X])^2 = 136.16^2 \\ \\ (E [X])^2 = 18539.55$

NOW;

the variance of the refund payment to the couple = 28002.944 - 18539.55

the variance of the refund payment to the couple = 9463.394

An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. the seat was designed for pilots weighing between 130lb and 1

Vlad [161]

Answer: 0.4758

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean : $\mu=137\text{ lb}$

Standard deviation : $\sigma =28.9\text{ lb}$

Also, the new population of pilots has normally distributed .

The formula to calculate the z-score :-

$z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

For x=130 lb .

$z=\dfrac{130-137}{28.9}=-0.2422145\approx-0.24$

For x=171lb.

$z=\dfrac{171-137}{28.9}=1.1764705\approx1.18$

The p-value = $P(-0.24$

$=0.8809999-0.4051651=0.4758348\approx0.4758348\approx0.4758$

Hence, the required probability : 0.4758
