Peter is trying to buy fencing for the perimeter of his garden. His garden is in the shape of a rectangle with a length of 2(x+6
1 answer:
Given dimensions of a rectangular garden are:
length = 2(x+6) feet
width = 3.5x feet
using the distributive property on length we get, length = 2x+12
Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(length+width)
So, P = 2(2x+12+3.5x)
Solving it we get,
P = 2(5.5x +12) ..............adding like terms
P = .............multiplying and adding
P = 11x+24
So, perimeter is 11x+24 feet. This value of fencing will be needed.

Using the z-distribution, it is found that she should take a sample of 46 students.
<h3>What is a z-distribution confidence interval?</h3>
The confidence interval is:
The margin of error is:
In which:
is the sample mean.
- z is the critical value.
- n is the sample size.
is the standard deviation for the population.
In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of
, so the critical value is z = 1.96.
Scores on the math portion of the SAT are believed to be normally distributed and range from 200 to 800, hence, by the Empirical Rule the standard deviation is found as follows:
The sample size is n when M = 29, hence:
n = 45.67.
Rounding up, a sample of 46 students should be taken.
