Answer:

21 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool has dimension 15 feet by 17 feet, which is in the form of a rectangle.

The area of the pool = length × width

                                   =  17 × 15

                                   = 255 square feet

Area of the pool and cement walkway = 483 square feet

Area of walkway = area of pool and walkway - Area of pool

                            = 483 - 255

                            = 228 square feet

Let's assume that the cement walkway has equal thickness across its perimeter, so that;

the dimension of the pool and the cement walkway = 23 feet × 21 feet

The width of the cement walkway is 21 feet.

g A trial jury of 6 people is selected from 20 people: 8 women and 12 men. What is the probability that the jury will have an od
cricket20 [7]

Answer: P(odd) = 0.499

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of people = 20

Number of men = 12

Number of women = 8

Number of jury to be selected = 6

For the jury to have an odd number of women. it must have either of the three.

1. 1 woman , 5 men

2. 3 women, 3 men

3. 5 women, 1 man

The total possible ways of selecting the 6 people jury is;

N = 20C6 = 20!/6!(20-6)!

N = 38760

The possible ways of selecting;

Case 1 : 1 woman, 5 men

N1 = 8C1 × 12C5

N1 = 8 × 792 = 6336

Case 2 : 3 women , 3 men

N2 = 8C3 × 12C3

N2 = 12320

Case 3 : 5 women, 1 man

N3 = 8C5 × 12C1

N3 = 672

P(Odd) = (N1+N2+N3)/N

P(odd) = (6336+12320+672)/38760

P(odd) = 19328/38760

P(odd) = 0.499

soldier1979 [14.2K]
The length in the diagram is 4/3 feet.
(4/3)/8=w/6 where w is the width.
So 4/(3×8)=w/6.
1/6=w/6 so w=1 foot or 12 inches.
