I'll leave the computation via R to you. The are distributed uniformly on the intervals , so that
each with mean/expectation
and variance
We have
so that
Now,
and
We have
because and are independent when , and so
giving a variance of
and so the standard deviation is
# # #
A faster way, assuming you know the variance of a linear combination of independent random variables, is to compute
and since the are independent, each covariance is 0. Then
and take the square root to get the standard deviation.
Answer:
17 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A bag of lawn fertilizer covers 289 square feet
Dimensions of the largest square plot of lawn that the bag of fertilizer will cover.
Area of a square lawn = length^2
Area of the square lawn = 289 square feet
Area of a square lawn = length^2
289 = length^2
Find the square root of both sides
√289 = √length^2
17 = length
Length = 17 feet
Dimensions of the largest square plot of lawn that the bag of fertilizer will cover = 17 feet by 17 feet
