Find the missing side length Plsss help

a 56 inch board is to be cut into three pieces so that the second piece is three times as long as the first piece and a third pi

wolverine [178]

X + 3x + 4x = 56
8x = 56
x = 7

The shortest piece is 7 inches
The middle piece is 7*3 = 21 inches.
The longest piece is 4*7 = 28 inches

Check
7 + 21 + 28 = 56 It does check and the lengths are correct.

Using only four 4's and any operational sign find the value of 8

torisob [31]

Answer:

The answer is 4 + 4 + 4 - 4 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The four fours problem is one of the problems given in the book "The Man Who Calculated" by Malba Tahan, a Brazilian-born professor of mathematical sciences.

There are many complicated problems in this book made with the intention of using logic to find a value.

The 4 fours problem is based on using these numbers and using any operation to result in the numbers 1 through 10.

The state education commission wants to estimate the fraction of tenth grade students that have reading skills at or below the e

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

(a) The proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is 0.1673.

(b) The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.198, 0.260).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of students who read above the eighth grade level.

(a)

A sample of n = 269 students are selected. Of these 269 students, X = 224 students who can read above the eighth grade level.

Compute the proportion of students who can read above the eighth grade level as follows:

$\hat p=\frac{X}{n}=\frac{224}{269}=0.8327$

The proportion of students who can read above the eighth grade level is 0.8327.

Compute the proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level as follows:

$1-\hat p=1-0.8327$

$=0.1673$

Thus, the proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is 0.1673.

(b)

the information provided is:

n = 709

X = 546

Compute the sample proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level as follows:

$\hat q=1-\hat p$

$=1-\frac{X}{n}$

$=1-\frac{546}{709}$

$=0.2299\\\approx 0.229$

The critical value of z for 95% confidence interval is:

$z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion as follows:

$CI=\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

$=0.229\pm 1.96\times \sqrt{\frac{0.229(1-0.229)}{709}}\\=0.229\pm 0.03136\\=(0.19764, 0.26036)\\\approx (0.198, 0.260)$

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.198, 0.260).
