<h2>Answer:</h2>

The expression which represents the perimeter P of the rectangle as a function of L is:

          Perimeter=2(L+\sqrt{100-L^2})

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The length and width of a rectangle are denoted by L and W respectively.

Also the diagonal of a rectangle is: 10 inches.

We know that the diagonal of a rectangle in terms of L and W are given by:

10=\sqrt{L^2+W^2}

( Since, the diagonal of a rectangle act as a hypotenuse of the right angled triangle and we use the Pythagorean Theorem )

Hence, we have:

10^2=L^2+W^2\\\\i.e.\\\\W^2=100-L^2\\\\W=\pm \sqrt{100-L^2}

But we know that width can't be negative. It has to be greater than 0.

Hence, we have:

W=\sqrt{100-L^2}

Now, we know that the Perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

Perimeter=2(L+W)

Here we have:

Perimeter=2(L+\sqrt{100-L^2})

Your class is selling boxes of flower seeds as a fundraiser. The total profit p depends on the amount x that your class charges
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

$ 22.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Price charged for each box of seeds = x

Profit gained from from selling boxes of seeds = p

The equation of profit is modeled as

P(x) = 0.5x² + 36x - 179

As per given information if the fundraisers make a profit of  $379 then find the minimum price charged for each box of seed.

Now our above equation becomes

379 = -0.5x² + 36x - 179

Simplifying

379+179 = -0.5x² + 36x

558 = -0.5x² + 36x

0.5x² - 36x + 558 =0

multipying both sides of equation by 2

2(0.5x² - 36x + 558) = 2x0

x² - 72x +1116 = 0

Using quadratic formula we get the following factors

x= 49.4 or x= 22.60

As we can the smalles value is 22.6

So, they can charge 22.6 dollar for each bag of seeds in order to get profit of 379 dollars.

A forestry researcher wants to estimate the average height of trees in a forest near Atlanta, Georgia. She takes a random sample
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The margin of error for her confdence interval is of 0.3757.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 18 - 1 = 17

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 17 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995. So we have T = 2.8982

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

Standard deviation of 0.55 meters.

This means that s = 0.55

What is the margin of error for her 99% confidence interval?

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

M = 2.8982\frac{0.55}{\sqrt{18}}

M = 0.3757

The margin of error for her confdence interval is of 0.3757.

Suppose approximately 75% of all marketing personnel are extroverts, whereas about 70% of all computer programmers are introvert
Setler [38]

Answer:

P(x \ge 5) = 1.000 ---- At least 5 from marketing departments are extroverts

P(x=15) = 0.013 ---- All from marketing departments are extroverts

P(x = 0) = 0.002 ---------- None from computer programmers are introverts

Step-by-step explanation:

See comment for complete question

The question is an illustration of binomial probability where

P(x) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}

(a):\ P(x \ge 5)

n = 15 --- marketing personnel

p = 75\% --- proportion that are extroverts

Using the complement rule, we have:

P(x \ge 5) = 1 - P(x < 5)

So, we have:

P(x < 5) =P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2) + P(x = 3) + P(x = 4)

P(x = 0) = ^{15}C_{0} * (75\%)^0 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 0} = 1 * 1 * (0.25)^{15} = 9.31 * 10^{-10}

P(x = 1) = ^{15}C_{1} * (75\%)^1 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 1} = 15* (0.75)^1 * (0.25)^{14} = 4.19 * 10^{-8}

P(x = 2) = ^{15}C_{2} * (75\%)^2 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 2} = 105* (0.75)^2 * (0.25)^{13} = 8.80 * 10^{-7}

P(x = 3) = ^{15}C_{3} * (75\%)^3 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 3} = 455* (0.75)^2 * (0.25)^{12} = 0.0000153

P(x = 4) = ^{15}C_{4} * (75\%)^4 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 4} = 1365 * (0.75)^4 * (0.25)^{11} = 0.000103

So, we have:

P(x < 5) = (9.31 * 10^{-10}) + (4.19 * 10^{-8}) + (8.80 * 10^{-7}) + 0.0000153 + 0.000103

P(x < 5) = 0.00011922283

Recall that:

P(x \ge 5) = 1 - P(x < 5)

P(x \ge 5) = 1 - 0.00011922283

P(x \ge 5) = 0.9998

P(x \ge 5) = 1.000 --- approximated

(b)\ P(x = 15)

n = 15 --- marketing personnel

p = 75\% --- proportion that are extroverts

So, we have:

P(x) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}

P(x=15) = ^{15}C_{15} * 0.75^{15} * (1 - 0.75)^{15-15}

P(x=15) = 1 * 0.75^{15} * (0.25)^{0

P(x=15) = 0.013

(c)\ P(x = 0)

n=5 ---------- computer programmers

p = 70\% --- proportion that are introverts

So, we have:

P(x) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}

P(x = 0) = ^{5}C_0 * (70\%)^0 * (1 - 70\%)^{5-0}

P(x = 0) = 1 * 1 * (0.30)^5

P(x = 0) = 0.002
