Answer:

Length = 37 in, Width = 25 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the original cardboard is 12 more than the width, so:

Length = Width + 12

The base of the box will be formed the length minus two cuts of 6in and the width minus two cuts of 6in, so:

Base Area = (Length-12)*(Width-12)

The height of the box will be the 6 inches, after folding the pieces of the cardboard to form a box.

To, if the volume of the box is 1950, we have that:

1950 = Base area * height = (Length-12)*(Width-12)*6

Base Area = 1950/6 = 325

Now, using the length value (Length = Width + 12) in the base area equation, we have:

325 = (Width+12-12)*(Width-12)

325 = Width^2 - 12*Width

Width^2 - 12*Width - 325 = 0

Solving this quadratic equation, we have that:

Delta = b^2 - 4ac = 144 + 1300 = 1444

sqrt(Delta) = 38

Width = (12 + 38)/2 = 25 in

Now, finding the length:

Length = Width + 12 = 25 + 12 = 37 in

lbvjy [14]

Answer: a)  Unimodal and symmetric

b) 0.26

c) 0.038

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sample size of investors (n)= 131

True proportion of smartphone users(p)  =26%

a) Since sampling distribution for the sample proportion is approximately normal when n is larger.

Normal distribution is Unimodal and symmetric.

So correct option : Unimodal and symmetric

b)  mean of this sampling​ distribution = p = 0.26

c)  standard deviation of the sampling​distribution = \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.26\times (1-0.26)}{131}}=\sqrt{0.00146870229008}

=0.0383236518364\approx0.038
