5 0

Answer: She had 20 gallons to begin with.

Step-by-step explanation:

16 = 6 + 1/2x

x = the amount she had to start with

Subtract 6 from each side

10 = 1/2x

Divide each side by 1/2

20 = x

()) A rectangular piece of paper has a perimeter of 22 inches and an area of 28 square
Natasha2012 [34]

Given:

Perimeter of a rectangular paper = 22 inches.

Area of the rectangular paper = 28 square inches.

To find:

The dimensions of the rectangular paper.

Solution:

Let l be the length and w be the width of the rectangular paper.

Perimeter of a rectangle is:

P=2(l+w)

Perimeter of a rectangular paper is 22 inches.

2(l+w)=22

l+w=\dfrac{22}{2}

l=11-w                      ...(i)

Area of a rectangle is:

A=lw

Area of the rectangular paper is 28 square inches.

28=lw

Using (i), we get

28=(11-w)w

28=11w-w^2

w^2-11w+28=0

Splitting the middle term, we get

w^2-7w-4w+28=0

w(w-7)-4(w-7)=0

(w-7)(w-4)=0

Using zero product property, we get

(w-7)=0\text{ and }(w-4)=0

w=7\text{ and }w=4

If w=7, then by using (i)

l=11-7

l=4

If w=4, then by using (i)

l=11-4

l=7

Therefore, the dimensions of the paper are either 7\times 4 or 4\times 7.

The army reports that the distribution of waist sizes among female soldiers is approximately normal, with a mean of 28.4 inches
____ [38]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that:

a) Her waist is at the 2.74th percentile.

b) 99.86% of female soldiers requires custom uniform pants.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
  • Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

The mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

\mu = 28.4, \sigma = 1.2.

Item a:

The percentile is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 26.1,</u> hence:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{26.1 - 28.4}{1.2}

Z = -1.92

Z = -1.92 has a p-value 0.0274 = 2.74th percentile.

Item b:

The proportion is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 32 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 24</u>, hence:

X = 32:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{32 - 28.4}{1.2}

Z = 3.

Z = 3 has a p-value 0.9987.

X = 24:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{24 - 28.4}{1.2}

Z = -3.67.

Z = -3.67 has a p-value 0.0001.

0.9987 - 0.0001 = 0.9986 = 99.86% of female soldiers requires custom uniform pants.

Clara has a lawn in front of her house as mapped on the coordinate plane. She wants to plant a bed of flowers between the points
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

<em>Look Below In the Explanation</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Point P has coordinates of (4,4) and point Q has coordinates of (4,-4).

Since both points have the same x-coordinates we can subtract point Q's y-coordinate from point P's y-coordinate.

I will set the equation up and try and figure this part by yourself. I hope you learned what to do from previous questions that are very similar to this that I answered.

4 - ( -4) = length of the bed of flowers

Hope that helps and maybe earns a brainliest!

Have a splendid day! :^)
