Length (L): w + 3            ⇒2(w + 3)

width (w): w                    ⇒ w - 1

Area (A) = L x w

         A = (w + 3)(w)

         A = w² + 3w

*******************************************

       A + 176 = 2(w + 3)(w - 1)

(w² + 3w) + 176 = 2(w + 3)(w - 1)

w² + 3w + 176 = 2w² + 4w - 6

        3w + 176 = w² + 4w - 6

                 176 = w² + w - 6          

                   0 = w² + w - 182

                   0 = (w - 13) (w + 14)

0 = w - 13            0 = w + 14

w = 13                  w = -14

Since width cannot be negative, disregard -14

w = 13

Length (L): w + 3   = (13) + 3   = 16

Answer: width = 13 in, length = 16 in

An ornithologist has 4 bird feeders at separate locations. She wonders if birds are equally likely to visit each of the feeders.
Marianna [84]

Answer:

the x² test statistic 13.71

Option a) 13.71 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Feeder                     1      2      3       4

Observed visits; o_i  60   90   92    58

data sample = 300

Expected e_i = 300 / 4 = 75

the x² test statistic = ?

X^2_{stat = ∑[ (o_i - e_i)²/e_i]

X^2_{stat = [ (60 - 75)² / 75 ] + [ (90 - 75)² / 75 ] + [ (92 - 75)² / 75 ] + [ (58 - 75)² / 75 ]

X^2_{stat = [ 3 ] + [ 3 ] + [ 3.8533 ] + [ 3.8533 ]

X^2_{stat = 13.7066 ≈ 13.71

Therefore, the x² test statistic 13.71

Option a) 13.71 is the correct answer.
