A floor plan shows that the exterior of a room has dimensions 12 feet by 17 feet. If the area of the room measured from the inte

rior is only 176 square feet, express the thickness of the surrounding walls in feet. (Assume that the walls have uniform thickness).

Answer:

The thickness of the walls is 0.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the thickness of each all by T.

The external dimensions of the room are 12 feet by 17 feet, and these values include thickness of 2 walls each, so the internal dimensions are (12-2T) and (17-2T).

If the internal area is 176, we have the equation:

(12-2T) * (17-2T) = 176

204 - 58T + 4T2 = 176

4T2 - 58T + 28 = 0

2T2 - 29T + 14 = 0

Using Bhaskara, we have:

Delta = (-29)^2 - 4*2*14 = 729

sqrt(D) = 27

T1 = (29 + 27)/4 = 14 feet

T2 = (29 - 27)/4 = 0.5 feet

As the first value is too big and would generate a negative side for the room, we have that the thickness of the walls is 0.5 feet.

A data set includes weights of garbage discarded in one week from 62 different households. The paired weights of paper and glass
lara [203]

Answer:

Because the absolute value of the test statistic is <u>less than</u> the positive critical value, there <u>is not</u> enough evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the weights of discarded paper and glass for a significance level of α = 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation​ matrix provided is:

Variables    Paper     Glass

  Paper           1         0.1853

 Glass        0.1853         1

Te hypothesis for the test is:

<em>H</em>₀: <em>ρ</em> = 0 vs. <em>H</em>₀: <em>ρ</em> ≠ 0

The test statistic is:

<em>r</em> = 0.1853 ≈ 0.185

As the alternate hypothesis does not specifies the direction of the test, the test is two tailed.

The critical value for the two-tailed test is:

r_{\alpha/2, (n-2)}=r_{0.05/2, (62-2)}=r_{0.05/2, 60}=0.250

The conclusion is:

Because the absolute value of the test statistic is <u>less than</u> the positive critical value, there <u>is not</u> enough evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the weights of discarded paper and glass for a significance level of α = 0.05.
