Answer:

  16.5 ft by 25.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the garden in feet. Then w+9 is the garden's length, and w(w+9) represents its area.

The surrounding walkway adds 8 feet to each dimension, so the total area of the garden with the walkway is ...

  (w+8)(w+9+8) = w^2 +25w +136

If we subtract the area of the garden itself, then the remaining area is that of the walkway:

  (w^2 +25w +136) - (w(w+9)) = 400

  16w + 136 = 400 . . .simplify

  16w = 264 . . . . . . . . subtract 136

  264/16 = w = 16.5 . . . . . width of the garden in feet

  w+9 = 25.5 . . . . . . . . . . .length of the garden in feet

zlopas [31]

Answer:

x *2 + (28-x)*4 = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total number of questions in the paper = 28

Out of these 28 questions let us say that x number of questions are of 2 points and 28-x questions are of 4 points.

Also, the complete test is of 100 marks

Thus, the linear equation representing the

x *2 + (28-x)*4 = 100

A survey of 200 students is selected randomly on a large university campus. They are asked if they use a laptop in class to take
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of university students who use laptop in class to take notes is (0.2839, 0.4161).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population proportion <em>P</em> is:

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

The information provided is:

<em>x</em> = number of students who responded as"yes" = 70

<em>n</em> = sample size = 200

Confidence level = 95%

The formula to compute the sample proportion is:

p=\frac{x}{n}

The R codes for the construction of the 95% confidence interval is:

> x=70

> n=200

> p=x/n

> p

[1] 0.35

> s=sqrt((p*(1-p))/n)

> s

[1] 0.03372684

> E=qnorm(0.975)*s

> lower=p-E

> upper=p+E

> lower

[1] 0.2838966

> upper

[1] 0.4161034

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of university students who use laptop in class to take notes is (0.2839, 0.4161).
