We use the equation 2x+8x=50.

10x=50
x=5

The rectangle will be 20 cm long and 5 cm wide.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

5 cm ( width ) , 20 cm (length)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width = w

Let length = 4w

Perimeter = 50

Perimeter formula for a rectangle = 2l + 2w

Plug in the variables (width and length)

2(w) + 2(4w) = 50

2w + 8w = 50

10w = 50

w = 5

<u>Remember, recall that length = 4w</u>

length = 4w

length = 4(5)

length = 20

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle are 5 by 20 cm

The 5 - number summary of the distribution obtained from the boxplot is :

Minimum = 20
Maximum = 85
Lower quartile = 35
Median = 44
Upper quartile = 58
Outlier = 100

Firstly, we need to extract the values for the amount spent by females :

20, 25, 25, 35, 37, 38, 39, 43, 45, 46, 50, 53, 60, 70, 85, 100

The five number summary include ;

Minimum, lower Quartile, Median, Upper Quartile and Maximum values.

Rearranging the data in ascending order :

20, 25, 25, 35, 37, 38, 39, 43, 45, 46, 50, 53, 60, 70, 85, 100

The boxplot clearly and easily gives the five number summary of the distribution :

Minimum = 20 (starting point of the whisker)
Lower quartile = 35 (starting point of the box)
Median = 44 (vertical line in between the box)
Upper quartile = 58 (endpoint of the box)
Maximum = 85 (endpoint of the upper whisker).

Outlier :

Lower boundary = LOWER QUARTILE - (1.5 × IQR)
Upper boundary = UPPER QUARTILE + (1.5 × IQR)
IQR = UPPER QUARTILE - LOWER QUARTILE
IQR = (58 - 35) = 23

Lower boundary = 35 - (1.5 × 23) = 0.5

Upper boundary = 58 + (1.5 × 23) = 92.5

The point denoted by a dot on the boxplot is an outlier = 100

Hence, values lesser than 0.5 or greater than 92.5 are outliers.

Therefore, 100 is an outlier.

Why was Copernicus' work controversial?

leonid [27]

Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model in which the earth revolved around the sun, not the other way, and this went against what the church was saying at the time: the church, which insisted it is always right, said that the sun revolver around the earth.

The correct answer is: <span>C. His scientific discoveries undermined the power of the Church. </span>

The owner of a small deli is trying to decide whether to discontinue selling magazines. He suspects that only 10% of his custome

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

0.55% probability that exactly 5 out of the first 13 customers buy a magazine

Step-by-step explanation:

For each customer, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they buy a magazine, or they do not. The probability of a customer buying a magazine is independent of other customers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
