Oksanka [162]4 years ago

Hey there!!

Perimeter of a rectangle =2 ( length + width )

Let's take the measure of the width as ' x '

Then, the length would be ' 3x '

Hence,

... 2 ( x + 3x ) = 96

... 2 ( 4x ) = 96

... 8x = 96

... x = 96 / 8

... x = 12

Width = 12 inches

And, length would be 36 inches.

Hope my answer helps!!

9. Gold miners in Alaska have found, on average, 12 ounces of gold per 1000 tons of dirt excavated with a standard deviation of
netineya [11]

Answer:

9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 12, \sigma = 3

What is the probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{16 - 12}{3}

Z = 1.33

Z = 1.33 has a pvalue of 0.9082

1 - 0.9082 = 0.0918

9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated

What is -0.6(r+0.2) = 1.8 ???
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

r = -3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

-0.6(r+0.2) = 1.8

Divide by -.6

-0.6/-.6(r+0.2) = 1.8/-.6

r+.2 = -3

Subtract .2 from each side

r+.2-.2 = -3-.2

r = -3.2

olga55 [171]

Answer:

P(\text{Pizza}\ |\ \text{Female})=0.225

Step-by-step explanation:

The two-way frequency table is attached below.

We have to calculate the probability of, a person chosen at random prefers pizza given that they are female, i.e P(\text{Pizza}\ |\ \text{female})

This is a conditional probability.

We know that,

P(A\ |\ B)=\dfrac{P(A\ \cap\ B)}{P(B)}

So,

P(\text{Pizza}\ |\ \text{Female})=\dfrac{P(\text{Pizza}\ \cap\ \text{Female)}}{P({\text{Female}})}

From the table,

P(\text{Pizza}\ \cap\ \text{Female)}=\dfrac{119}{1000}

P({\text{Female}})=\dfrac{530}{1000}

Putting the values,

P(\text{Pizza}\ |\ \text{Female})=\dfrac{P(\text{Pizza}\ \cap\ \text{Female)}}{P({\text{Female}})}=\dfrac{\frac{119}{1000}}{\frac{530}{1000}}=0.225

A company makes electronic gadgets. One out of every 50 gadgets is faulty, but the company doesn't know which ones are faulty un
Talja [164]

Answer:

Yes, the company can expect a profit in the long term

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are to project if a company is expected to make a profit or loss given the information in the question.

Let’s use the scenario of 50 gadgets produced.

1 is expected to be faulty, while 49 is thus expected to work perfectly.

Now, on this 49 sold, there is an expectancy of $3 profit. Hence, this means that for a batch of 50 gadgets produced, the amount of expected profit will be 49 * 3 = $147

The amount that would be used to repair the faulty unit is $80. If we subtract this from the total expected profit, we have $147-$80 = $67

Hence, per 50 gadgets sold, a total of $67 in profit is to be expected

This means profit is expected in the long tey
