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.

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

$290

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that 1 out of 5 buyers change to a more expensive sofa than the one in the sale advertisement.

Now we are told that the advertised sofa is $250 and the more expensive sofa is $450.

Thus;

P(x) for expensive sofa = 1/5

P(x) for sofa in sale advertisement = 4/5

Thus, expected value is;

E(X) = (1/5)450 + (4/5)250

E(x) = 90 + 200

E(x) = $290

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

1) Is more representative

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem with his selection is that maybe there are few students participating in certain sport and those students maybe do quite more excercise than the rest (or quite less). This will modify the results because the sample he selected is biased. This problem wont be solved by method 3 or 4, because he is still selecting students that may modify heavily the results with a high probability

This problem will also appear if he choose a sample by class. Maybe, in a class there are quite few students, and selecting from class will make those students appear quite more often than, lets say, a 7th grade student selected at random, therefore the selection is biased in this case as well.

If he has a list with all seventh grade students, each student is equallly likely to be selected and as a consequence, the the results wont be biased. Approach 1 is the best one.
