30 and 1/2 = 30 1/2 = 30.5

4 brothers share 30.5 acres equally

30.5 divided by 4 = 30.5/4 = 7.625

each brother gets 7.625 acres of land

Answer:

Each brother get 7⅝ acres of the land

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Number of brother = 4

Land inherited in acres = 30½ = 61/2

Since they are sharing the land equally, simple division would solve this, where we will need to find how much land that will go to each brother by dividing the total land inherited in acres by the number of brothers.

i.e

How much land for each brother = Land inherited in acres / number of brothers

How much land for each brother = (61/2) / 4

= 61/2 * 1/4

= 61/8 = 7⅝

Therefore each brother get 7⅝ acres of the land

A researcher is going to estimate the average typing speed of students of a college. He selects a random sample of 20 students a

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The margin of error of the 90% confidence interval of a student's average typing speed is of 1.933 wpm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 20 - 1 = 19

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 19 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95$ . So we have T = 1.7291

The margin of error is:

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample. For this question, we have $s = 5, n = 20$ . So

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

$M = 1.7291\frac{5}{\sqrt{20}}$

$M = 1.933$

The margin of error of the 90% confidence interval of a student's average typing speed is of 1.933 wpm.

A smaller square is located inside a larger square. the length of the smaller square is 7 cm, and the length of the square is 12

patriot [66]

Let S=larger square side and s=smaller square side. The area between the larger and smaller is simple the larger area minus the smaller area. The area of any square being s^2. So our remaining area is:

A=S^2-s^2

A=144-49=95 cm^2

Find the dimensions of a rectangle with perimeter 116 m whose area is as large as possible. (if both values are the same number,

creativ13 [48]

The dimensions would be 29 by 29.

To maximize area and minimize perimeter, we make the dimensions as close to equilateral as possible.

Dividing the perimeter by the number of sides, we have

116/4 = 29

This means that both length and width can be 29.
