Answer:

10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the width of the mat width showing around the picture. Since the sheet is 20 in wide by 15 in high, and the perimeter of the mat is 110 in. We have the following equation:

2*(20 + x + 15 + x) = 110

35 + 2x = 55

2x = 20

x = 20/2 = 10 in

The sum of a number and twenty-six, divided by twelve is equal to seven! <br><br> Please!!
Travka [436]

Answer:

58

Step-by-step explanation:

1. let x be the unknown number

2. make an expression

x + 26/12 = 7/1

3. cross multiply

x +26 × 1 = x + 26

12 × 7  = 84

 x + 26 = 84

4. move variables on one side and numbers on other side of the equal sign

x + 26 = 84

   - 26    -26

x = 58

A new medical test provides a false positive result for hepatitis 2% of the time that is a perfectly healthy subject being teste
Oxana [17]
Given that X <span>be the number of subjects who test positive for the disease out of the 30 healthy subjects used for the test.

The probability of success, i.e. the probability that a healthy subject tests positive is given as 2% = 0.02


Part A:

</span><span>The probability that all 30 subjects will appropriately test as not being infected, that is the probability that none of the healthy subjects will test positive is given by:

</span>P(X)={ ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}} \\  \\ P(0)={ ^{30}C_0(0.02)^0(1-0.02)^{30-0}} \\  \\ =1(1)(0.98)^{30}=0.5455
<span>

Part B:

The mean of a binomial distribution is given by

</span>\mu=np \\  \\ =30(0.02) \\  \\ =0.6
<span>
The standard deviation is given by:

</span>\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)} \\ \\ =\sqrt{30(0.02)(1-0.02)} \\ \\ =\sqrt{30(0.02)(0.98)}=\sqrt{0.588} \\  \\ =0.7668
<span>

Part C:

This test will not be a trusted test in the field of medicine as it has a standard deviation higher than the mean. The testing method will not be consistent in determining the infection of hepatitis.</span>

Draw a picture first, then use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve. Round
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

your answer would be 9.4

Step-by-step explanation:

you'd have to plug in the numbers in the equation.

8^2 + 5^2 = c^2

64 + 25 = c^2

89 = c^2 then you'd do the square root of 89 which will give you 9.4 when rounded to the nearest tenth.

WILL GIVE 5 STARS TO THE PERSON WHO HELPS WITH AN EXPLANATION!!! If the 32 ounce bottle is 20% more than the typical bottle, how
Aleks04 [339]
So if 32 oz is 20% more than the average bottle, you multiply 32 by .20 which gives you 6.4. This means that the 32 oz bottle is 6.4 oz more than the regular bottle. Furthermore, 32 - 6.4 = 25.6 so that's how big the typical bottle is.
