Researchers are studying two populations of sea turtles. In population D, 30 percent of the turtles have a shell length greater

than 2 feet. In population E, 20 percent of the turtles have a shell length greater than 2 feet. From a random sample of 40 turtles selected from D, 15 had a shell length greater than 2 feet. From a random sample of 60 turtles selected from E, 11 had a shell length greater than 2 feet. Let pˆD represent the sample proportion for D, and let pˆE represent the sample proportion for E.
(a) What is the value of the difference pˆD−pˆE? Show your work.

Answer:

p^D-p^E=0.192  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population D:

30% of the turtles have a shell length greater than 2 feet.

Sample size,

n_D = 40

Number of turtles that had shell length greater than 2 feet,

x_D = 15

Sample proportion:

p^D=\dfrac{x_D}{n_D} =\dfrac{15}{40} = 0.375

Population E:

20% of the turtles have a shell length greater than 2 feet.

Sample size,

n_E = 60

Number of turtles that had shell length greater than 2 feet,

x_E = 11

Sample proportion:

p^E=\dfrac{x_E}{n_E} =\dfrac{11}{60} = 0.183

We have to find the difference between the sample proportion.

Difference in sample proportion =

=p^D-p^E\\=0.375-0.183\\=0.192

Find a formula for the described function. A rectangle has perimeter 16 m. Express the area A of the rectangle as a function of
Alex17521 [72]
Part A:

Let the length of one of the sides of the rectangle be L, then the length of the other side is obtained as follow.

Let the length of the other side be x, then

2(L+x)=16 \\  \\ \Rightarrow L+x=8 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x=8-L

Thus, if the length of one of the side is x, the length of the other side is 8 - L.

Hence, the area of the rectangle in terms of L is given by

L(8 - L) = 8L-L^2



Part B:

To find the domain of A

Recall that the domain of a function is the set of values which can be assumed by the independent variable. In this case, the domain is the set of values that L can take.

Notice that the length of a side of a rectangle cannot be negative or 0, thus L cannot be 8 as 8 - 8 = 0 or any number greater than 8.

Hence the domain of the area are the set of values between 0 and 8 not inclusive.

Therefore,

dom(Area)=0\ \textless \ L\ \textless \ 8 \ or \ (0, 8)

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the problem, the given triangle is a right triangle. This is signified by the box around one of its angles, this box states that the angle it is surrounding is a right angle.

Since it is a right triangle, one can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem. The Pythagorean theorem states that; (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), where (a) and (b) are the legs of the right triangle, or the sides adjacent to the right angle. (c) is the hypotenuse or the side opposite the right angle.

Substitute in the given values and solve, note that (a) represents the unknown leg (side).

a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\a^2 + (\sqrt{19})^2 = (100)^2\\\\a^2 + 19 = 100

Inverse operations,

a^2 + 19 = 100\\-19\\\\a^2 = 81\\\\a = \sqrt{81}\\\\a = 9
