Answer:

  • length: 5.7 yd
  • width: 1.7 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the carpet. Then the length is w+4 and the area is ...

  w(w +4) = 10

  w² +4w = 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  w² +4w +4 = 14 . . . . . . add the square of half the w-coefficient to complete the square

  (w +2)² = 14 . . . . . . . . . rewrite as a square

  w +2 = √14 . . . . . . . . . take the square root

  2 = -2 +√14 ≈ 1.7 . . . . yards (width)

Then the length is 4 more yards than this, so is ...

  length = 1.7 +4 = 5.7 . . . yards

The length and width are 5.7 and 1.7 yards, respectively.

_____

In the attached graph, we let x represent the length. As you can see, the magnitudes of the two zeros are width and length.

A test score of 48.4 on a test having a mean of 66 and a standard deviation of 11. Find the ​z-score corresponding to the given
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

A. -1.6; not significant

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score of a data set that is normally distributed with a mean of \bar x and a standard deviation of \sigma, is given by:

z=\frac{x-\bar x}{\sigma}.

From the question, the test score is: x=48.4, the mean is \bar x=66, and the standard deviation is \sigma =11.

We just have to plug these values into the above formula to obtain:

z=\frac{48.4-66}{11}.

This simplifies to:  z=\frac{-17.6}{11}.

z=-1.6.

We can see that the z-score falls within two standard deviations of the mean.

Since -2\le-1.6\le2 the value is not significant.

The correct answer is A. -1.6; not significant
