The width of rectangle is 8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of rectangle = 40 units

Width = w

Length = w-3

Area = Length * Width

40=(w-3)*w\\40=w^2-3w\\w^2-3w=40\\w^2-3w-40=0

Factorizing the equation

w^2-8w+5w-40=0\\w(w-8)+5(w-8)=0\\(w-8)(w+5)=0

Either,

w-8=0         => w=8

Or,

w+5=0        =>w= -5

As width cannot be negative, therefore

Width of rectangle = 8 units

The width of rectangle is 8 units.

Four diners have ordered a platter of desserts. The platter holds 8 chocolate chip cookies and 4 slices of chocolate cheesecake.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

P(Y>1 \cap Y

And we can find this probability like this:

P(Y>1 \cap Y

And we can replace the values and we got:

P(Y>1 \cap Y

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable Y as: the number of slices of cheesecake left on the platter after the first serving. And we have the following distribution for Y:

Y     |     0          1        2         3         4

P(Y) | 0.005  0.114  0.429  0.381  0.071

And we want to find the following probability:

P(Y>1 \cap Y

And we can find this probability like this:

P(Y>1 \cap Y

And we can replace the values and we got:

P(Y>1 \cap Y

A customer purchases 10 m dade co. florida 7.50% g.o. bonds at a 9.50 basis. how much interest will she collect each year? $75 $
crimeas [40]
In the value of bonds, the symbol "M" means "thousands.
Therefore, 10 M = 10,000$

So, the customer bought a coupon with 10,000$ and the expected annual interest is 7.5% of the coupon's value.

Calculating the value of interest is simple, just multiply the interest rate (7.5%) by the original value of the coupon to know how much interest she will collect each year.

Interest collected each year = (7.5 / 100) x 1000 = 750$
