24=3x+3x+x+x add like terms
24=8x divide by 8
3÷x
plug I'm 3 for x
3×3=9 so length is 9
and width is 3

In this question the main information's are already provided. Based on them the answer to the question can be easily deduced.
Let us assume the width of the poster = x
Then the length of the rectangle = 3x
The perimeter of the rectangle = 24 inches
we already know
Perimeter = 2 ( Length + width)
24 = 2( 3x + x)
24 = 2 * 4x
24 = 8x
x = 24/8
  = 3
So the width of the rectangle is 3 inches
Length of the rectangle = 3x
                                     = 3 * 3
                                     = 9
So the length of the rectangle is 9 inches.

A tobacco company claims that the amount of nicotene in its cigarettes is a random variable with mean 2.2 and standard deviation
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

0% probability that the sample mean would have been as high or higher than 3.1 if the company’s claims were true.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

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.

Central limit theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 2.2, \sigma = 0.3, n = 100, s = \frac{0.3}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.03

What is the approximate probability that the sample mean would have been as high or higher than 3.1 if the company’s claims were true?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3.1. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{3.1 - 2.2}{0.03}

Z = 30

Z = 30 has a pvalue of 1.

1 - 1 = 0

0% probability that the sample mean would have been as high or higher than 3.1 if the company’s claims were true.

a tree increases in diameter each year by an average of 0.51cm. If the tree currently has a diameter of 4 inches, how old do you
Zepler [3.9K]
There are 2.54 cm in 1 inch.  Since we are estimating, we can round the average growth per year to .5 cm which would give you roughly 5 years per inch of diameter (2.5 / .5 = 5).  Since we have a tree with a 4 inch diameter, we can estimate the age of the tree is...

4 inches x 5 years/inch = 20 years old.

Find all polar coordinates of point P = (6, 31°). Im really struggling with this problem and I can't seem to find a consistent a
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

1. (6, -329°) (-6, 211°) (-6, -149°)  

2. (5, -5π/3) (-5, 4π/3) (-5,-2π/3)

Notice: (+,+),(+,-),(-,+),(-,-).

If we consider angles beyond 360° or 2π, many other names for these points can be determined.

The polar coordinate can be written as (r, θ) = (r, θ + 2nπ) or (r, θ) = [ - r, θ + (2n + 1)π ], where n is any integer
